Answer:

high need for power  and low need for affiliation

Explanation:

David McClelland defines the need for power (nPow) as a desire for "power either to control other people (for [one's] own goals) or to achieve higher goals (for the greater good)," and describes people high in this trait as seeking "neither recognition nor approval from others - only agreement and compliance."

In the scenario,since Will was not content to be one ofthe employees but will often coach his coworkers, it is obvious that he has a high need for power and low need for affiliation.

Answer:

Will probably has a high need for power.

Explanation:

McClelland theory of needs established three main categories:

  1. the need for achievement: need to find solutions.
  2. the need for affiliation: need social interaction and the feeling of belonging.
  3. the need for power: need to influence and control other people, either by personal or institutional power (the greater good).

In this case, Will shows a need for influencing his co-workers. His influence is positive and seeks the greater good.
