Abraham Harold Maslow (April 1, 1908 – June 8, 1970) was an American psychologist who was best known for creating Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, a theory of self-actualization.
He was the author of EUPSYCHIAN MANAGEMENT – considered to be a seminal work on human behavior in the workplace; and MOTIVATION AND PERSONALITY – exploring the complex world of what motivates people and how their personalities interact with these motivations.
Maslow was a psychology professor at Brandeis University, Brooklyn College, New School for Social Research and Columbia University. He stressed the importance of focusing on the positive qualities in people, as opposed to treating them as a “bag of symptoms.”
