Mind Games at Work 🧠

Understanding the psychology of the workplace makes you a better leader and colleague.

• Motivation Matters: Beyond money, what drives people? Autonomy, mastery, purpose, etc., vary widely.
• The Power of Feedback: Specific, timely, focus on behaviors…good feedback fuels employee growth.
• Group Dynamics: How teams form, common dysfunctions, so you can build more cohesive teams.
• Conflict Resolution: Different conflict styles exist, understanding them allows for more constructive outcomes.
• Burnout Prevention: It’s not about the individual, what systemic issues can you address as a leader?
• Unconscious Bias: Be aware of how it affects hiring, decision-making…even the most well-intentioned have them.

A bit of organizational psychology knowledge goes a long way to foster a more productive, inclusive, and positive workplace.
