McClelland stated that we all have these three types of motivation regardless of age, sex, race, or culture.

Need for power This motivational need stems from a person's desire to influence, teach, or encourage others.

People who have a need for affiliation

 "Power is the Great Motivator", found that those in top management positions had a high need for power and a low need for affiliation. His research also found that people with a high need for achievement will do best when given projects where they can succeed through their own efforts.
