Most people possess and exhibit a combination of these characteristics.
Some people exhibit a strong bias to a particular motivational need, and this motivational or needs 'mix' consequently affects their behavior and working/managing style.
A strong n-affil 'affiliation-motivation‘ may undermines a manager's objectivity, because of their need to be liked, and that this affects a manager's decision-making capability.
A strong n-pow 'authority-motivation' will produce a determined work ethic and commitment to the organization, and while n-pow people are attracted to the leadership role, they may not possess the required flexibility and people-centered skills.
n-ach people with strong 'achievement motivation' make the best leaders, although there can be a tendency to demand too much of their staff in the belief that they are all similarly and highly achievement-focused and results driven, which of course most people are not.
