“Man! People are lazy!”

Have you ever heard this or even it said it yourself?

Whether it’s at work, in sport, or even in life, we naturally create perceptions of others based on our interactions with them. One such perception can be that people are lazy.

Over the past few years while the majority of us have been working remotely, it is easy to think people are lazy because we don’t actually see what others are doing – out of sight, out mind. Our minds can feed our perception that someone is lazy when we don’t see or hear anything from them. An absolutely critical factor when we start to address the question of how do we deal with others who are lazy.

First and foremost, what gives us the impression that they are lazy? Are they truly lazy? Do we perhaps hold different standards then they do? Would we do something in a different order than they would? Do they approach their tasks differently than we do? There are a lot of questions that come into play regarding laziness and, they all start with us.

The perception that someone is lazy actually comes from us. What we perceive, what we expect, and who we are. While we often put laziness on others, we play a huge role in truly understanding if someone is really lazy or if there is something else at play.
