After all, self-actualization is indeed listed within Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Being ambitious and wanting to advance your career is a healthy motivation. Unfortunately, in the nonprofit sector it isn’t always clear how to do this.

In case you forgot, according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the basics are: air, food, water, food, shelter, sleep… no shame if you need a reminder! These likely fall into the safety needs category of “health” in the second tier of Maslow’s hierarchy.

If you’re familiar with the work of psychologist Abraham Maslow (I know the CAEs among you certainly are), you may have guessed by now that these motivators reside in the highest level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs: self-actualization. Have you ever heard people talk about studying for and obtaining their Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation? You can tell by the intensity of their conversation that getting the CAE credential is a transformative experience.

Confessions of a Non-Profit Executive Director

Hat tip to Sonny Cloward for suggesting that nonprofits should have a Maslow’s hierarchy of needs when it came to implementing nonprofit technology. UPDATE: This is now a four-part series instead of two. The next installment will appear on 2/18/2009. It was in response to Tweets I made last month stating that social media has been oversold to nonprofits and that they really needed to concentrate on their Web site first.

I’m going to circle back to my thinking on social media in the second part of this article.

He cites many studies showing that as people move up Maslow's hierarchy of needs, we have transitioned from focusing on work (a means of survival) to leisure (a means of personal fulfillment). I spent last week on vacation in the High Sierras rock climbing. Between high-altitude hijinks, run-ins with wildlife, and very long days of hiking, I finished John Falk's new book, Identity and the Museum Visitor Experience.

Emerging technologies are great, I am all for emerging technologies; but I believe very, very strongly that it is like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: if people can't eat, then they can't go out to the fair. A couple weeks ago, I did an interview for the NetSquared Podcast with Leda Dederich, the creator of the dotOrganize project, and co-author of the report "Online Technology For Social Change: From Struggle to Strategy." Below is a transcript of the interview.
