Our emotions can cause a roller-coaster of feelings and if they are not managed effectively they can cause a lot of problems. As a wise and effective leader or manager, it’s very important to be mindful of how you are feeling and how to appropriately manage your emotions. If we don’t manage our emotions we lose access to our Prefrontal Cortex, the part of our brain that helps us understand, memorise, recall, make decisions and inhibit basic urges - this makes us less intelligent. This short 150-second video gives three simple tips for managing your emotions and becoming an even more effective leader and manager. Food for Thought: ❓How broad is your emotional vocabulary? ❓How good are you at reframing your emotions? I look forward to seeing your thoughts and comments about this effect. Managing emotions is all about improving your self-awareness and emotional intelligence. To discover how to use behavioural analytics to explore your own and your team’s behaviour so you can play to strengths and support blind spots, please get in touch. We are regularly helping our clients to transform management behaviour and organisational culture in just 12 months by using the latest thinking from the field of applied neuroscience and insights from their people analytics.

Are you falling into the trap of Unconscious Competence? When we become highly proficient in a task, we can assume that it is easy. This is the trap of ‘unconscious competence’ and it can seriously undermine your ability to delegate. To delegate effectively you need to go back a step and help your people to know what they didn't know they need to know. Wise leaders and managers are aware of how to avoid this trap and this short video explains what you need to do to delegate things even more effectively to your people. Food for Thought: ❓What are some of the complex tasks that you are unconsciously competent in? ❓How can this model help you delegate these even more effectively? I look forward to seeing your thoughts and comments about how we make can easily underestimate our levels of competency.

Our brains are fundamentally lazy. They are designed to conserve energy. This makes it very easy to make assumptions and jump to conclusions.
There are always two sides to every story and as a leader or manager is it very important to check your assumptions and explore why other people see things very differently to you.
A useful model for doing this is the Ladder of Inference.
This short video gives a quick overview of the model and how you can use it to check your thinking and the thinking of others.
Food for Thought: ❓What assumptions are you making about the people you work with? ❓How can regular use of this model help you become a better leader?
I look forward to seeing your thoughts and comments about how we make assumptions.
Being a leader or manager can be tough. We understand that and provide powerful insights and simple models that can help you develop new mindsets, habits and behaviours. So you can get the results you want.

Listening to critical feedback is tough. However, feedback is the breakfast of champions and the ability to respond to it effectively can help us develop and grow.
If we can’t take feedback people will be less likely to receive our feedback.
If you are defensive or reject critical feedback people won’t bother because it’s too much hard work. This can have a seriously detrimental impact on your learning, growth and overall success.
This short video gives some practical tips about how to receive feedback even when it is making you feel uncomfortable.
Food for Thought: ❓Which of the tips do you think are most useful? ❓What can you do to let people know you are open to feedback?

Humans are hard-wired for taking advantage of immediate rewards as a survival strategy. This means that we feel rewards in the future are less valuable than the prospect of immediate gratification.
Neuroscientists call this Temporal Discounting.
As leaders and managers, it is important to understand how this bias can affect motivation or take appropriate action now to avoid danger in the future.

All teams go through four stages of development in order to get to a level where they can operate at optimum performance. Some of the stages can be frustrating and cause conflict or cliques to develop if they are not managed effectively. As a team leader, it is your responsibility to navigate these stages and help the team through them so they don’t get stuck at a sub-optimum stage.
To learn more about the four stages and what to do at each, watch this video - it’s only 150 seconds!

Could this be damaging your business?
Our brains are always jumping to conclusions about the behaviour of others and the Fundamental Attribution Error is one of the many cognitive biases that can damage relationships by undermining trust, teamwork and collaboration.
Cognitive biases are hardwired automatic responses that helped our ancestors survive back when life was very precarious for humans. But in today’s complex world, where we all have many interdependent relationships with lots of different people these biases can get in the way and damage trust and cooperation.
As leaders and managers it is important to understand these biases so we can counter them and prevent them from harming trust and productivity.
Watch this video and learn about the Fundamental Attribution Error in just 150 seconds!
Food for Thought:
❓Where are you making Fundamental Attribution Errors?
❓How might your behaviour be creating Fundamental Attribution Errors in your people, peers or customers?
❓What do you need to do more of in order to avoid these errors?
I look forward to seeing your thoughts and comments about this bias.

Back in 1908 two scientists popularised the concept of the impact of pressure on performance.
We all have a sweet spot where we achieve optimal performance, but that spot may be different for different people.
If we are out of the sweet spot, we may underperform due to a lack of pressure or because we have more than we can cope with.
Food for Thought:
❓Where are you currently on the performance curve?
❓Where are your team members and how well are you managing the pressure for them?

How well are you managing your stress bucket?
It’s easy to notice when others are stressed, but it can be difficult to identify our own levels of stress because it tends to creep up on us and then one little thing can create an outburst or other stress response.
We all have a stress bucket, but they tend to be different sizes so therefore have different levels of capacity. This short video explores this concept and what you can do to increase the capacity of your stress bucket.
Food for Thought:
❓How full is your stress bucket?
❓What can you do to release some of the stress?

Are you trapped in your Comfort Zone?
It is quite common to get trapped in a comfort zone. It happens when we make the only alternative to the comfort zone the Fear Zone or the Danger Zone.
This makes the thought of stepping out of our comfort zone very uncomfortable, so we avoid it.
But there is an alternative zone to step into which creates very different feelings. This makes it far easier to step out of our comfort zone and expand our skills, knowledge and influence.
Check out this video to discover what it is.
This is one of the first videos that I made about five years ago, as an experiment when I moved from the comfort of writing long articles to making 150-second videos.
Food for Thought:
❓In which aspect of your life or work are you staying within your comfort zone?
❓What are some of the small steps you can take to move beyond it?

Paradox #decisionmaking #analytics #HarrisonAssessments #Talent4Performance
Are you being compassionate enough for your people while holding them to account for their performance?
There is a paradox when it comes to guiding people to be their best.
Addressing underperformance can trigger a lot of deep emotions and feelings about how we were treated in the past. A wise manager is able to remain mindful of their feelings and sees the benefits of a balanced approach because they care about their people and don’t want to let them fail.
This 150-second video provides some useful insights for you to consider.

Producing great results requires a high degree of self-motivation but sustaining those results over time requires us to recognise that stress management is not optional, it is essential. There is a paradox in producing sustained results that requires us to prioritise our health and well-being alongside our performance and results.
This 150-second video provides some useful insights about the three components of self-motivation and how to avoid burnout. Food for Thought:

When we need to make a decision, it is very easy to be overwhelmed with information or frustrated that there isn’t enough.
We can also fall into the trap of seeking to confirm what we already know or confuse our feelings as facts.
Therefore, it is useful to explore the Paradox of Instinctive Logic so we can achieve better balance, avoid the above and make better decisions.

Good working relationships are becoming more important than ever.
Many people are choosing to leave their current employment to seek greener pastures and while money can be a reason it is rarely the only one. There is plenty of evidence that people value good working relationships, and the quality of relationships often influences the decision to stay or leave when offered opportunities elsewhere.
Wise leaders know how to create sustainable relationships by skilfully navigating the paradox of an Equity Mindset and understanding the balance required.
This 150-second video provides some useful insights to help you get the balance just right.

Communication is tricky and requires balance.
Some people want and need you to be very direct and to the point, while others want and need you to be diplomatic and respectful. If we don’t get the balance right we can trigger upset and defensiveness or frustration and confusion.
Excellent communicators manage to get the balance right by skilfully navigating the paradox of Respectful Candor. This requires carefully balancing the two traits in this paradox to avoid any unintended consequences in your communication with others.
This 150-second video provides some useful distinctions to help you get the balance just right.

Paradox #Communication #HarrisonAssessments #Talent4Performance
Leaders are often isolated from feedback about their performance and their behaviour due to their position. It takes courage to give feedback to a leader or manager especially if they take it very personally or become defensive.
Are you overly self-critical?
Or perhaps unintentionally defensive?
There is a paradox when it comes to Self Actualisation and it requires a delicate balance of two traits critical to leadership success. When we get the balance right we make it easy for others to give us feedback and this means we can make better decisions and continuously improve our performance.
This 150 second video explains how to do this.

The research by Prof. Carol Dweck and her team at Stanford University discovered two fundamentally different mindsets. She called them Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset.

How could you apply this with the people in your life?
Values drive our behaviour and trigger big emotional reactions. However, our values, and the values of others, are often below our conscious awareness - until something happens that triggers a big reaction! So here is a very elegant way to identify your own values. There is also a key question to ask if you want to know the personal values of others. This video shows you how.
Many people talk about developing a Growth Mindset but few will explain the specific combinations of behaviour you actually need to practice to improve your mindset. This video explains the four behavioural paradoxes that you need to master in order to develop a powerful Growth Mindset.

This is a simple 20-minute deep relaxation exercise using the Body Scan technique.
Regular use of these exercises will provide you with the opportunity to develop a very powerful mindfulness and deep relaxation routine. It is best to use headphones or earbuds and ensure that you are sitting comfortably in a place where you will not be disturbed. A quiet room with speakers will also work well.
*For obvious reasons do not listen to these whilst driving or operating dangerous machinery.
If you have any questions about your relaxation practice, or if you would like to discuss leadership coaching or development please contact me at david@talent4performance.co.uk.
I am confident that you will find these introductory meditations extremely valuable because once you have begun to explore the concept of mindfulness and create a regular practice, you will find your effectiveness as a leader and manager can improve way beyond what you thought was possible.
Do let me know how you get on!
With kind regards,
David

In today’s episode, we will be discussing the SCARF Model developed by Dr. David Rock and his team at the NeuroLeadership Institute. It is a useful model to remember the five primary threats and rewards that drive our behaviour.
By understanding the five elements of the model it can help to reduce and dampen your stress response and give you some pointers to create a reward response. This means you will be in a better position to use your prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain you rely on in order to be able to understand, memorise, recall, make decisions and inhibit unwanted behaviours.
