	david mcclelland achievment motivation needs theory
		David McClelland pioneered workplace motivational thinking, developing achievement-based motivational theory and models, and promoted improvements in employee assessment methods, advocating competency-based assessments and tests, arguing them to be better than traditional IQ and personality-based tests.
		Mcclelland suggested that a strong n-affil 'affiliation-motivation' undermines a manager's objectivity, because of their need to be liked, and that this affects a manager's decision-making capability.
		McClelland argues that n-ach people with strong 'achievement motivation' make the best leaders, although there can be a tendency to demand too much of their staff in the belief that they are all similarly and highly achievement-focused and results driven, which of course most people are not.

	David McClelland's research into achievement motivation

		McClelland has even extended his analysis to countries where he related the presence of a large percentage of achievement-motivated individuals to the national economic growth.
		McClelland has found that achievement-motivated people are more likely to be developed in families in which parents hold different expectations for their children than do other parents.

		McClelland slipped underneath Bruce to take command on the 14th round, then foiled Bruce's tenacious bids for a first career ASCS victory over the final rounds to snare the hard-fought victory, extending his point lead to 32 markers over eleventh place finisher Danny Jennings in the process.

		McClelland and Global Differences in Achievement - McClelland (1961) was persuaded by a study by Winterbottom (1953, 1958) where she studied the link between achievement and economic development.
		McClelland's n achievement become the basis for imitating structure, and his n affiliation is quite close to the consideration factor, overlapping with participation.

		David Marr: There was absolutely no way we could do that unless in 1984 somehow or other, we had received independent information of what Jim was saying around the town, which is where we were not bound by confidences.
		David Marr: Also Robert, you must understand that in this period between '84 and '86, this is when Murphy was facing Senate inquiries, a committal proceeding and trials, and Jim McClelland gave evidence at all of these.
		David Marr: But I think Robert's getting at a slightly different point, which is that by coming to us with information, giving it to us in confidence, we were locked in forever until he released us from that obligation of confidence from reporting it.

	Management theorist
		David McClelland was a psychologist and professor, receiving his Ph.D. at Yale in 1941, and going on to teach at Harvard for over 30 years.
		Prior to this date, motivation had largely been assumed to come from within the individual, and, while McClelland cites several studies attempting to explain this phenomenon, he appears to be among the first to suggest that the urge to succeed can be imposed on an individual from exterior sources.
		McClelland’s entire body of research, covering more than fifty years, is rather too large to cover in one paper, but this is a sampling of the kind of research that typified his career.

	Addiction: The Analgesic Experience
		Using a combination of cross-cultural and experimental research, David McClelland and his colleagues at Harvard were able to relate individual predispositions toward alcoholism to cultural attitudes about drinking.
		Alcoholism tends to be prevalent in cultures that emphasize the need for men to continually manifest their power but that offer few organized channels to achieve power.
		From McClelland's research we can extrapolate a picture of the male alcohol addict that fits clinical experience and descriptive studies of alcoholism neatly.

		McClelland observed and fascinated by the phenomenon that while some people have an intense need to achieve, majority of the others do not seem to be as concerned about achievement.
