Achievement Orientation is an Emotional and Social Intelligence Leadership Competency that entails striving to meet or exceed a standard of excellence, appreciating feedback on our performance, and continually seeking ways to do things better.
There is more to consider with this competency beyond the simple motivation for rewards. A leader who has a high capacity for this competency is able to balance his or her personal drive with the needs of the organization as a whole. That involves self-management, relationship management, and understanding the context of a given situation.
In Achievement Orientation: A Primer, Daniel Goleman and colleagues introduce the Achievement Orientation Competency and describe why it is important for quality leadership.
This is the fourth in a series of Primers that explores each of the 12 Emotional and Social Intelligence Leadership Competencies. Each includes an overview of the Competency Model.
Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, Richard J. Davidson, and Vanessa Druskat explain what it takes to develop the Achievement Orientation Competency from the perspectives of research, psychology, neuroscience, team dynamics, and leadership development.
