📢📢📢 “What did you learn?" - a simple question with a profound impact. These four words have the potential to spark introspection, promote growth, and drive continuous improvement in both our personal and professional lives. In the workplace, asking "What did you learn?" can foster a culture of learning, curiosity, and innovation. By encouraging employees to reflect on their experiences, share their insights, and apply their learnings to future projects, organizations can create a dynamic and adaptive teams. This question can also promote psychological safety within teams, as it signals that mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities, not failures. When individuals feel safe to share their learnings, ask questions, and seek feedback without fear of judgment, they are more likely to take risks, experiment with new ideas, and push the boundaries of what is possible. Embrace the power of “What did you learn?”! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Learning #Reflection #GrowthMindset #ContinuousImprovement #Innovation #PsychologicalSafety

Organizational Psychology helps people build the organizations they want 🤔 Consider how much work has to do with things like behavior, attitude, and feelings. Organizational Psychology is the applied science of optimizing for these human experiences. Organizations are arranged both intentionally and unintentionally. Organizational Psychology provides a toolset to produce positive experiences and reduce negative experiences. It’s a toolset to arrange things in a productive way – when those things aren’t productive it provides a toolset to rearrange, with leaders and employees as partners. #OrganizationalPsychology as a #practice

Organizational behavior: where psychology meets productivity, shaping the DNA of successful teams and companies. Understanding it is the key to unlocking peak performance.

"The desire for closure can be a useful concept for managers as they seek to motivate and encourage their people. When faced with multiple tasks, employees may prefer to work first on the smallest — which present an easier path to closure — rather than on tasks of higher priority. To counter that tendency, employers could reframe important goals as a series of smaller tasks, each of which would grant employees a feeling of closure upon completion. Understanding the mental burden of uncompleted goals can also help managers better understand their employees and offer guidance for workers who struggle with procrastination: perhaps an inability to get started is related to how far away closure feels." https://lnkd.in/dQH4UPZi

Productive conflict is something companies generally avoid and many view as harmful. A healthy debate can produce synergistic results, if respect and trust exists. If success were easy, people wouldn’t need coaches, consultants, or trainers. Same is true for companies. Productive conflict, well I prefer to call it “loving collisions”. In coaching, there are necessary loving collisions to get to a result worth hiring a coach. Coaches help collapse time and generate decisive results. Am I the only one hungry for continued transformation in 2024?! How have you experienced this with success?!

What is Positive Organizational Psychology?🤔 Well, it’s the science that sits behind everything we do at before nine! So, we thought it could be helpful to share some more background. Over the 20 years in which Positive Organizational Psychology (PoP) has been studied, there have been 2 parallel and overlapping strands of research: 🧠 Positive Organisational Scholarship (POS): The study of the features and influence of the organisational context, environment and dynamics on individual and organisational outcomes e.g. wellbeing, performance. Concepts include: Job-Crafting, Appreciative Inquiry, Positive Leadership, Thriving at work... 🧠 Positive Organizational Behaviour (POB): The study of individuals' strengths and capabilities on individual and organisational outcomes. Concepts include: Character Strengths, Psychological Capital (Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, Optimism). And here at before nine, we apply the concepts within each strand to the strategic objectives and operational environments of our clients - hence, our Positive Working model.
