Self-Determination Theory

The idea
Self-Determination Theory, built by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan at the University of Rochester, names three basic psychological needs: autonomy, relatedness and competence.
In practice
Research across education, healthcare, sport, parenting and working life, linking the three needs to motivation and well-being.
Where people slip
The book is explicit: the three needs are Deci and Ryan's discovery; its own contribution is applying them to leadership.
