When a 60-Year-Old Psychology Theory Saved a Dying Company
What do you do when your business is collapsing around you? Chip Conley didn't call consultants or slash costs. He walked into a bookstore and grabbed a dusty psychology textbook. Within three years, his hotel company doubled revenue and grew market share by 20% while competitors filed for bankruptcy. The secret? A pyramid diagram from 1943 that most people associate with freshman psychology class. But here's what's remarkable: this wasn't about motivational posters or feel-good management. It was about fundamentally reimagining what a business actually does. When you strip away the jargon and quarterly earnings calls, companies exist to meet human needs-for employees seeking purpose, customers craving experiences, and investors wanting legacy. Abraham Maslow spent his career studying exceptional people-not the neurotic patients filling Freud's couch, but history's peak performers. His famous hierarchy places basic survival needs at the bottom and self-actualization at the top, where people experience transcendent moments when everything just flows. Most of us know this pyramid. Few realize Maslow tested it in actual businesses back in 1962, watching a California company dismantle assembly lines and create self-managed teams decades before it became fashionable. When the dot-com crash wiped out Conley's San Francisco hotel market, then 9/11 delivered the knockout punch, he rediscovered Maslow's work. The insight hit him: companies aren't just economic machines. Like humans, they exist on a spectrum from barely surviving to truly thriving. The pyramid Conley discovered didn't just save his company; it revealed something most leaders miss entirely. We've been asking the wrong question. It's not "How do we maximize profit?" It's "How do we help people become who they're meant to be?"
