Stefan is talking about leadership and the importance of emphasizing basic human needs when leading organizations. The basal psychological needs of a human being are to feel autonomous, competent and belonging. By taking these needs into consideration as a leader, one can create better conditions for the individual worker.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
