Patterson is representative of many hall of fame laureates in his insistence that a job at the company should give the employee an opportunity for self actualization. The slide on your left quotes him on this issue. Note the last sentence which suggests that there exists a "bottom line" argument for helping employees to self actualize. But remember, also, that Patterson's motivation had much to do with repaying his debt to his mentor, F.I.Raymond.
