Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The desire to manage and delegate tasks to others reflects a high need for power, which is a desire to have an impact on others and to control one's environment. It is not necessarily reflective of a high need for achievement, which would be more focused on personal mastery and accomplishing challenging tasks for the sake of accomplishment itself.
