Change and the 4 Basic Needs
Do you know how sometimes change can feel a bit scary or annoying? Well, a lot of that comes down to four basic things we all need. First, there’s Certainty. We like to know what’s going on, and if something new pops up, it can feel unsettling. Then there’s Variety. Sure, we need some excitement, but too much change too fast? That can be overwhelming.
Now, Connection is about our relationships with others. Change that messes with our team or friends at work? No wonder we might push back. And finally, there’s Significance. We all want to feel valued. If change makes us feel less important, we might not like it.
So next time there’s a big change at work, think about these four needs.
Certainty, Variety, Connection, and Significance
Understanding them can make change feel less like a challenge and more like a chance to grow. It’s all about finding the balance and working together.
