It’s only 135 days until Christmas - not much time to sort that out!
Santa’s not well known for aligning his approach with contemporary psychology and neuroscience – but it seems he’s on to something!
What if Santa only focused on the naughty list, ignoring the nice list – because those children are fine as they are aren’t they?
Yet this is exactly what most organisations do.
There is plenty of evidence that focusing on “nice” is a good investment. Despite this, most organisations focus on the “naughty”, investing in development where there is a problem to fix – someone is struggling, underperforming, or there is conflict. Leaving effective areas to manage on their own.
The same principle applies to teams. The development budget goes to the “naughty” ones – they ones that don’t play together nicely.
Lets’ flip it! Let’s take a more balanced approach - investing in average, well performing and high potential teams too, giving them an opportunity to shine even more. And that shine rubs off on the rest of the organisation.
Find out more in the short article attached or get in touch. I’d love to talk more about your “naughty” tendencies!
