  1. McGregors Theory Y
  2. nAch

1 & 2. Drew sets his own goals

Theories:

  1. McClellands 3 needs theory - Drew is a nAch
  2. McGregor's Theory X and Y
  3. Goal Setting Theory

What theories would i reccomend

Goal Setting Theory: Drew is nAch so setting goals will work very well for him. He is conscientious so he can set his own goals. Feedback isn't as important because he's not nPow. Negative feedback will be useful.

Allow employees to participate with decisions. Give them challenging goals. Encourage good group relations.

nAch is Drews diving force. While it's not the best for a manager, it can be used to create a better manager. nAch focus' on goal achievement, set the goal in relation to team management.

Thesis:
Examine the personal factors that drive drew and then use that to explore motivational theory as it applies specifically to drew.
