"Everybody wants the magic, but nobody
wants the mystery; a thing which has to be lived in a place where book
knowledge has no meaning for all books are manuals of the world you already
know that means the well-honed intellect the masculine theory of reason, will not
save you, cannot free you. It is for a world, a business, whose time is over…"
Tensions or lack of motivation in your team. A
negative atmosphere you cannot put your finger on and feel unable to solve it. Regular
or long term sickness leave by persons with a burnout syndrome or stress? After
all, we live in turbulent times which transmit quite a lot of insecurity in
terms of politics and business.
CEO's and managers have a tendency to look for
symptomatic solutions: replacing certain employees by other persons, applying of
new motivation or bonus schedules, changing of team size or fusion with other
teams, etc.
These measures may be useful at the short term
but do not solve the root of the problem, which is in general a lack of
communication, connection, and therefore motivation between the team members.
A more structural solution to improve
communication and understanding in your business - be it between e.g. team
members, management and clients, those being your human capital - which is so often
underestimated. It is something intangible; and thus an element, which is not often
enough described in economics books, as it cannot demonstratively be measured.
In an atmosphere where people feel valued, and
free to express and implement their ideas and come up with initiatives, skills
such as empathy, skills for conflict solving, a positive way to address and
motivate others, creating synergy, can be learned. Mediators and conflict
coaches will help you with special techniques and role plays, to make
communication between people and your business flow again.
It is the
possibility of a holistic approach, which will stimulate growth, inventiveness
and new developments in your business. And such is so much needed in future!
