Modern MaslowTimeless Wisdom for Today’s Leaders

Modern Maslow creatively reimagines Abraham Maslow’s famous hierarchy of needs and explores its powerful application for today’s leaders. While many are familiar with the traditional pyramid model and self-actualization peak, Maslow wrestled with these concepts throughout his life. Shortly before his death, Maslow introduced an expanded set of needs to showcase that true human potential was not built on self-actualization alone but on making a transcendent impact on the world.
In this book, you’ll uncover common misconceptions about Maslow’s hierarchy and discover how his insights can be applied to leadership and career development. With a deep passion for business, Maslow saw the workplace as the perfect environment for human potential to flourish. Modern Maslow brings that vision to life, showcasing how leaders develop themselves to bring out the best in others.
Packed with practical prompts and reflective questions, this book will help you navigate Maslow’s framework and apply it to your professional journey. Whether you’re looking to optimize your potential, lead with authenticity, or find deeper fulfillment at work, Modern Maslow offers a fresh take on an enduring theory and a clear path toward a more prosperous and meaningful career.

A note from the author

Throughout my career I have learned one thing I am good at: getting better. I’m obsessed with learning from the best, and Maslow’s wisdom has profoundly Impacted how I view human potential, for both myself and the world around me. His hierarchy provides an anchoring framework in times of great inspiration and when I fall off track. By operating at the intersection of psychological research, science, and leadership wisdom, our impact is limitless. This wisdom provides a roadmap to become the best version of ourselves, so that we can bring out the best in others for a good cause. That’s the ultimate end game.

Modern Maslow reminds us that true human potential can only be fulfilled by making an impact bigger than ourselves.
