The fundamental principle: “People have the capacity and desire for . . .” is a catch-all for many aspects that make humans human.
Many of these aspects have antonyms that also play a significant role in human effectiveness or lack thereof.
When dealing with human effectiveness we must acknowledge that humans are human and that they have the capacity and desire for many things we might neglect or overemphasize.
My list is intended to be useful, if not exhaustive. The list is also not presented in rank order. I would, however, emphasize that the rank order is different for different people. Ken Blanchard emphasizes the rank order of values and I extend that importance to the qualities humans have or desire.
Even the rank order would define a specific group of people, as per the fundamental principle that people are different.
