HANDLES LEADS IN THE PARK
Imagine if his employer could unlock this passion
Back when I was studying for my Pharmacy degree, as part of the course, we had to undertake extra studying to achieve our course credits. The options were limited, and like sheep, we all enrolled on to a course that on the face of it, had nothing to do with Pharmacy, healthcare or anything remotely related.
Here at The Engagement Coach, we are on a mission, to help organisations bring their employees’ passion to work. People go to such lengths to follow what they are passionate about outside of work, but image if their employers could unlock that passion at work. To help us achieve this, we are always looking for talented people who share our vision and enthusiasm.
I’ve been a social psychologist for over 20 years, and it has been a fascinating journey. I’ve delved deep in to the human psyche, investigated what makes us ‘us’, what drives our hopes and fears, what makes us love and hate. This journey has helped me understand our capacities for creativity, leadership, and teamwork; how to turn scientific knowledge in to practical application. For all the wonderful insights this journey has provided, for me one fundamental truth about the human mind has stood out. What really defines us, our aspirations, aptitudes and abilities, is the distance between us.
In a world where our perceived value can be largely driven by our visibility in the office, the number of hours we are working, or from the number of meetings we attend, is it any wonder that productivity is suffering? The frustration for many employees is that activities in the workplace are taking them away from actually getting things done. Attending meetings can be very useful, when well-planned and organised with a definitive outcome - but how often do you get to attend meetings such as these?
So you want your company to offer the very best customer service? Some new thinking from the field of social psychology is suggesting something quite radical: Stop thinking about customers as customers, and start thinking of them as part of your team.
