2. What are his basic assumptions about motivation, leading and human nature ?
Coach Krzyszewski had only one rule, he and his basketball team followed: Dont do anything
thats detrimental to yourself. Because if its detrimental to you, itll be detrimental to our program and to
Duke University. He believed that having too many rules keep leaders from making decisions, and instead
of allowing them to be flexible and dynamic, they limit them.
He is truly a leader with few simple rules which help him to build a successful team and become
one of the famous trainers in the basketball history. His basic assumptions :
- He always seeks for understanding.
- Try to communicate eye to eye contact with the player so he could build a trust relationship among
them.
- Build with more will than skill.
- Build trust among the player so even the player already graduated from Duke they will always find
Coach K to ask for some advice, because they are really respect Coach K.
- Leading for Coach K is not only leading or coaching, but beyond that to make your follower could be
develop into a more positive way and leaving legacy.

Players who already graduated usually will find Coach K to ask some advice. Noteable player which
coach by Coach K : Grant Hill a former Duke and NBA Player, a seven time NBA All Star.
I vividly remember the first time he met with my team during my freshman
year and shared his vision, his passion and his plan for us to win our first national
championship. Some people have said to me it must have been easy to win under
Coach, but that was far from the case. He was demanding, intense, constantly pushing
and prodding us to produce more, to believe in him and, most importantly, to believe
in ourselves more than we ever thought we could. That, together with his belief that
we could be better as the sum of our parts than as individuals, embodies his
philosophy.
I have grown up surrounded by powerful role models, both athletes and nonathletes. I have learned so much from all of them: how to lead, how to play, how to
achieve success, how to handle success, how to reach out and help those in need.
Coach K has been one of those powerful role models for me and countless others who
have played for him or met him throughout his storied career. He has lived a life of
great success and achievement while remaining loyal to teaching and to Duke.

6. What are your basic assumptions about motivation, leading and human nature ?
Motivation : Motivation is defined as the process that initiates, guides and maintains goal-oriented
behaviors. Motivation is what causes us to act, whether it is getting a glass of water to reduce thirst or
reading a book to gain knowledge.It involves the biological, emotional, social and cognitive forces that

activate behavior. In everyday usage, the term motivation is frequently used to describe why a person does
something.
Leading: Described as "a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of
others in the accomplishment of a common task".For example, some understand a leader simply as
somebody whom people follow, or as somebody who guides or directs others while others define
leadership as "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal".
Human Nature :refers to the distinguishing characteristics, including ways of thinking, feeling and acting,
which humanstend to have naturally, independently of the influence of culture.
Human needs are an important part of human nature. Values, beliefs, and customs differ from
country to country and even within group to gr oup, but in general, all people have a few basic
needs. As a leader you must understand these needs because they can be powerful motivators.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Unlike others researchers of his time, Abraham Maslow's based his theory of human needs on
creative people who used all their talents, potential, and capabilities (Bootzin, Loftus, Zajonc,
Hall, 1983). His methodology differed from other psychological researchers who mostly
observed mentally unhealthy people.
Maslow (1943) felt that human needs were arranged in a hierarchical order that could be
divided into two major groups: basic needs and metaneeds (higher order needs):
o
Basic Needs are physiological, such as food, water, and sleep; and psychological, such as affection,
security, and self-esteem. These basic needs are also called deficiency needs because if they are
not met by an individual, then that person will strive to make up the deficiency.
Metaneeds or being needs (growth needs). These include justice, goodness, beauty, order, unity,
etc. Basic needs normally take priority over these meta needs. For example, a person who lacks
food or water will normally not attend much to justice or beauty needs.
These needs are often listed in a hierarchical order in the form of a pyramid to show that the
basic needs (bottom ones) must be met before the higher order needs (however, it should be
pictured more as a box, see the section, Criticisms and Strengths, below for more information):
