5. Self-Actualization Self-actualization involves realizing one's potential, ful- ly developing one's abilities, and having a true apprecia- tion for life. It encompasses fulfilling the spiritual needs of growth and contribution, preventing employees from feel- ing like mere automatons solely focused on financial gain and only going through the motions. Self-actualized people are at their most capable, pro- ductive, and fulfilled selves and regularly tap into their highest level of thinking and creativity. According to Maslow, individuals must fulfill lower needs before pursuing higher ones. To reach self-actu- alization, every need in Maslow's hierarchy must be ad- dressed first. Because of this, Maslow asserts that less than 1 percent of the adult population ever achieves this level. Keep in mind that this was published over 50 years ago. In today's world, psychologists think it is closer to 5 per- cent, solely because there is a deep desire in humans to contribute and feel a sense of fulfillment - the more peo- ple evolve, the more they want to experience these higher feelings of satisfaction in their work. Importance For Culture Meeting people’s needs is essential for creating an emergent culture. Consider the three fundamental ele- ments of an emergent culture: Cause, Framework, and Energy. Cause revolves around making a difference and defining the organization's noble cause. Framework pertains to the structures in place for op- timizing employees' creative potential and ability to pro- duce, including hiring processes, delegation, team assign- ments, and utilizing individuals' strengths. Energy is how people treat each other, the moods they bring to work, and how the work that gets done within and between departments creates or mitigates the sense of belonging and unity. It is about bringing the values of the organization to life. The fundamentals of an emergent culture are closely intertwined with the needs of individuals within the orga- nization. Prioritizing the well-being and fulfillment of em- ployees is key to catalyzing to Maslow's top 1 percent, nur- turing an emergent company culture that contributes to personal and organizational success and growth.
