“As for finding the sweet spot, many people are stuck in a rut and it does impact the bottom line in terms of productivity and innovation. Somehow we have learned to equate success with money and material wealth at the expense of self-actualization. What we end up is with people doing work that they are not the best at and perpetuate a culture of finger pointing. We end up striving to preserve a shadow of oneself.” Peter Chrapchinski
Are you working in a high stress workplace that is full of finger pointing, backbiting and cover ups? Do you want to make a positive change but not change employers?
What you need to do is strive to ensure that everyone is working in their areas of strength in your workplace. When people are outside of their area of strength they are underperforming, demotivated, edgy, stressed and continually looking for others to blame for their non-performance. People do not want to take accountability for their poor performance because they are worried for their jobs and they are trying to preserve their self worth and their egos.
The key to changing this environment is to build trust between workers. Building this culture of trust starts by helping each individual understand their areas of strength and showing them how to leverage these strengths into their role in the workplace so that they can be successful and productive. Without this change, the workplace is doomed to mediocre work performance at best and at worst, a slide into obscurity and irrelevance.
With this strength based focus, employees will improve their performance and gain confidence in themselves and their fellow workers. This leads to a culture of trust, openness, candor, cooperation and proficiency. This culture allows a corporation to drive towards success as all its employees are striving together to continuously improve each other and the business.
