The story ofthe leader is brimming with both the need for achievement, including images about thechallenge to make/do great engineering work and themes of innovation, and with a desire todo it over and over again. The tension is that obstacles emerge along the way in studentstories when there is a collision between needs – like the need to achieve with the need foraffiliation or high need for performance with a pessimistic inclination as they struggle to finda system for repeatable success.
