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.

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?

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.

According to the research of American social psychologist Roy Baumeister our brain's energy gets depleted quite easily. For example if we have to make a lot of decisions, are hungry or lacking in sleep.

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.

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?
