Can't A Little Fear Be A Good Thing?
Exploring when and how fear can actually be a good thing. As a natural human response, it’s important that we understand when fear occurs, what it does to us, and how we can use its helpful benefits when appropriate.
How to collaborate with love as a guiding principle?
“What’s the one thing that you want to improve the most when it comes to your team culture?” – I often ask senior leaders as we start to scope out what support might be needed for them.
“Collaboration” - almost instantly they respond.
I love this response - it opens up the possibility to dive in and learn more about the conditions under which a team collaborates. When I start to uncover what’s underneath the need for better collaboration, we often land on these questions:
How can we improve the relationships within our team? How can we create psychological safety so that we can talk about what’s most important? How can we promote cross-team communication? How can we become more aware of each other – our needs and expectations? How can we make work to flow in a stable and predictable way?
Powerful questions, don’t you think?
What is fear and why is it important?
“More love. Less fear.” This is what we advocate and work for at A Human Workplace. Those four words offer vast canyons of possibilities to explore with numerous question trails to follow. To go on that journey together in pursuit of understanding deeply what more love and less fear at work really mean, it will help us to share an understanding of some basics about love and fear. These next several posts will give us that common view of this landscape so we can traverse this territory together.
Loving When Overwhelmed
We are not alone in our love and concern. We are together in it, collectively creating a whole loving response out of many parts.
The Work Between Us
So what is work? Where do we draw the lines that define our work, and how do we describe what we mean by “workplaces”? The bright light of change has shone on everything we know in the last two years. In that light, we can see more clearly how what we define as workplace can either facilitate or hinder the healthy functioning of our human endeavors.
