The Secret to Great Teams: Understanding Core Human Drives (Learn, Acquire, Defend, Bond)
Manage episode 489093076 series 3592000
Jay Johnson, a global speaker and consultant, explains his Behavioral Elements Assessment, which is based on four biological drives: learn (air), acquire (fire), defend (earth), and bond (water). Jay and Emily discuss her unusually balanced results across all four elements, the strengths and challenges of each drive, and how Chiefs of Staff and executives can use these insights to improve team communication and put people in the right roles. Jay also shares real examples, like adapting messages to fit high “bond” teachers versus results-driven CFOs, and offers free assessments for Chiefs of Staff.
