About the Course

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: A New Paradigm offers a new methodology for understanding multidirectional shifts in individual motivation. In this approach, levels of needs are understood not as a static “pyramid,” but as a dynamic system that makes it possible to predict with precision how motivation and priorities change under the influence of context and a person’s current inner state.

By mastering the language of subject–object relations and drawing on an understanding of how emotions shape motivation, you gain a practical model for accurately diagnosing the needs that determine people’s behavior here and now. This knowledge helps increase transparency and quality in communication and supports more thoughtful managerial and strategic decisions.

Сознание человека — уникальный био-социальный феномен, в котором сочетаются два взаимосвязанных контура: материально-ориентированный и творчески-познавательный. В курсе этот феномен представлен как динамическая иерархическая модель, позволяющая видеть, как меняются восприятие, мышление и поведение в зависимости от уровня организации сознания.

Курс учит применять эту модель как практический диагностический инструмент: быстро определять, на каком уровне сознания действует человек или команда, понимать, почему под давлением материальных факторов резко сужается картина мира и усиливаются искажения, и — через точные смысловые рамки и прикладные алгоритмы — возвращать ясность, чувство контроля и повышать качество управленческих решений в ежедневной коммуникации и в кризисе.

Goals

Goals

Master a dynamic model of needs instead of a “static pyramid”

You will understand why the classical interpretation of Maslow often turns into a quasi-mathematical algorithm that is poorly suited to real human behavior, and you will learn a new logic of non-linear transitions between levels of needs.

Learn to diagnose the motivational state of a person or group from the position of a “reflective observer”

You will learn to identify the mode of subject–object relations in which a person or team is currently operating — Mono(S), S–O, S–S, S–O–S, Meta(S) — and connect this with the needs that are in fact driving behavior here and now.

Gain a practical tool for managing transitions and reducing distortions under contextual pressure

You will learn to understand the pattern of multidirectional transitions and accurately predict the level of needs to which a person’s motivation will shift under different kinds of external pressure, as well as how to restore clarity and productivity — not through empty slogans or rewards, but through precise conceptual framing by adjusting context, tasks, and the form of interaction so that people’s needs and motivation naturally realign with the goals of the organization.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
