Why is important to reveal your employees’​ potential?

Why is important to reveal your employees'​ potential?

Are you using the full potential of your company?

If you don`t have a program to release the full potential of your employees may be not and you are missing good opportunities.

What does this mean?

We are used to thinking regarding our employees as a workforce that can perform only the tasks related to their positions, education, and experience. What stays hidden is their potential in different areas. Your employees could be multitalented, having interests and talents in different areas that could actually help your company grow and expand in many areas. The fact that at age of 31 years only 2% of 98% at the age of 4-5 years old people remain creative geniuses means that in 96% of the people their creativity is waiting to be awakened and at least 96% of your employees are sleeping creative geniuses.

You can read more about the research and the theory here.

This means that if you reveal your employees’ potential and weak up their creativity you will be able to grow and develop your organization in ways you haven`t imagined or considered so far. From your everyday processes to new products or services, new areas, or creating a new market niche that could actually increase your revenue. And as the human potential is infinite you will open the door for infinite opportunities for your company as well.

From where to start?

Your employees are human beings. They have dreams, personal life, and their own life plan and vision that includes their personal and professional life that you have to respect. So before start making plans for your company`s workforce, working positions, and promotions, you have to make sure that the plans of your employees are matching with your plans for them in your company.

How?

Start with an honest coaching session with them. Make sure that during the meeting you will build trust between you and your employees by the following steps:

  1. The employees should know that whatever they share in the meeting with you will be confidential and they won`t be punished for their words, plans, or vision. Make and do it in real. No judgment, no punishment. The worst thing is to lose the trust of your employees.
  2. Prepare an internal agreement that protects their information and rights.
  3. Ask questions to define what are their common goals related to your company:
  • What is their lifetime plan regarding their work and career?
  • Do they have other areas of interest?
  • Do they want to develop their skills in other areas or businesses?
  • Do they want to start their own business? Even if the answer is yes this doesn`t mean that the employee won`t work well or perform well. Even the opposite. Those employees will want to gain a good experience, build a legacy and good name that will help them when they start their own business. So it`s not necessarily a bad thing and the good thing is that you will have time to find a new person on time. Ask your employee when he/she plans to start their business and to train the person that will replace them. Again their best interest is to leave a well-trained person at their place.
  • In what business area do they want to have their own business?
  • Is it related to your business? If it is you can even become partners and expand your activities.
  • What do they think of their work in the company?
  • What do they think of the environment in the company?
  • Do they have any challenges? Don`t be fast to judge them. Often the problem is in the process not in the people. Try to find the real reason that causes the challenges, problems, or delays, if any.
  • What causes the challenges, the problems, or the delays at work?
  • Are they interested in another scope of work in the company?
  • What they would change, add, develop, create or expand in and out of your company? Whether you like the answer or not do not judge the employee. Your main task is to listen, understand your employee and look from their perspective and point of view.
  • Why they would the mentioned changes?
  • What are their professional dreams?
  • What kind of hobbies do they have as children?
  • What were their favorite games?

Invest some of your time, the time of your HR team, or the direct manager (depending on the structure of your company) in developing the potential in your employees and you could end up with the best investment you had ever made after the investment in you and your company.

Personal SWOT analysis – don`t let anybody else to define YOU

Personal SWOT analysis

No right answer!?

Have you ever experienced it? May be often than you think.

This situation is designed to make you wrong whatever of the obvious choices you choose and foolish you. This is I would say another form of gaslighting and I would like to give more clarity as it is spread largely leaving people with damaged self-esteem, lives while making a profit for the people that do it.

Very often both form gaslighting and the drama triangle are combined and the abuser in the triangle is using gaslighting to make the victim hopeless (without a good future without them). Learn more about them here

They start by attacking the way you see yourself. You might even don`t understand it because it could start with great feedback for something that is not quite great but it`s good to believe it. So why not? It feels so good (here I am not talking about genuine feedback). This is the point where they will gain your trust and shortly after will come the bad one if you don`t want to follow the right direction.

Second phase: No right answer.

Whatever you do is wrong even it`s not. But you already believe those people that glamorized you so you should listen to them and do what they want from you. If not we are coming to the rescuer that appears in order to save you, build you again, and bully you again if you are not following their desires. Like this, a lot of people are blocked in the circle of manipulation and mental violence that control their lives. They try to put shame on people for the things that they actually do to them and people are afraid to talk about this.

I want to give you some examples so you will be able to understand better.

Example 1:

Question to politician: The previous political party said they will take to jail a specific group, person, criminals, who you will put in jail?

Any of the obvious answers is wrong. Yes, even if say who deserves it. Why? Because is not their job to put somebody in jail they have to build them a fair system that has to do this.

Example 2:

A call to the fair fighting team to help for moving a paralyzed person for medical treatment. If they do it is wrong because it`s not their job to do it. If they don`t the person could die. So it`s good that they had helped but the right answer is where is the support for those people.

Example 3:

In the workplace. Your boss is out of the office but there is a sudden important visit or a colleague come to you with a request to help for something that is not your job. If you denied your boss will blame you that you are an unsupportive team member and you don’t think of the company. If you help then they will blame you that this is not your job and it`s not done well, or you mess up everything even if you don`t.

Example 4:

They gave you work out of your scope but when a colleague comes to you with a related problem they blame you that you are a schemer or a gossip. If you don`t take it into account then again is bad because you are not performing the work.

Example 5:

A connection asks you for money or it could be a charity organization. If you refuse you will be defined as coldhearted and you lack humanity. If you help you could be scammed. You can ask for their registration and ask them to raise funding on the specialized platforms for such activities.

Example 6:

You are in a situation where you need something but the choices you have will only bring more problems. In other words, you will be fooled if you try but also if you don`t. So the solution is a third choice. Depending on the case it will be different but one thing is sure neither to try nor to not try will be good for you. In such cases stick to your core values and what is right.

Another method of manipulation is to promise you something with many conditions to please and when it will happen it`s not clear.

Don`t stay a victim of such a violent circle. Take control of your life.

HOW?

KNOW YOURSELF!

MAKE A SWOT ANALYSIS OF YOURSELF

Straights:

  • What are your skills?
  • What are your talents?
  • What you are doing effortlessly?
  • What you are really good at?
  • You can make skill tests. There are different platform that offer different type of tests.
  • What is your potential?
  • What are your values?
  • What are your straights?
  • What childhood interests or dreams did you have? Have you done something about them? Is it possible to be one of your talents?
  • With what part of your work you can be proud of yourself?
  • If there is exactly the same person in front of your self how you will describe it? What SWOT analysis you would make for him/her? What would you admire in him/her?

Weaknesses:

  • Which are your weak points?
  • What you can do about them?
  • How you can improve them?
  • At which points you are feeling insecure?
  • How you can get more practice on them in order to overcome this insecureness?
  • What kind of mistakes you are more often doing?
  • What is the reason for them?
  • What you can do about it in order to prevent doing it?

Opportunities for growth. DON`T STOP LEARNING!

  • What do you need in order to add more value and expand the skills and knowledge you already have?
  • Do you have interests in different fields?
  • Are they connected somehow to the skills and knowledge you already have?
  • Even if they are not connected can you connect or combine them in your activity?
  • What is your potential?
  • What are your vision for your life and the life itself?
  • What are your dreams?

Threats:

  • What do you afraid of?
  • Can you define if and when you act due to fear?
  • What kind of external factors can affect you, your actions, your way of thinking, your mood, your way of work, and your self-esteem?
  • What you can do in order to limit or minimize those influences?
  • Make a risk prevention plan for your life.

Be honest with your answers. It`s important to have the correct picture of yourself. Knowing yourself is the force that nobody can take away from you and hurt you with gaslighting.

Making your own measurement system to which you can refer in abusive situations will keep you confident, unshakable, and independent by others’ opinions. Feedback is a good thing when is genuine, constructive and it`s target is to become better not to manipulate you or to ruine your self-esteem.

The worst thing is to not do anything. Action will give you more confidence.

Make the analysis and start acting accordingly even if you are scared. Make an action plan to reach your goals or main points from the analysis.

Take control of your life.

  • Make the analysis
  • Make an action plan for your goals
  • Ask for help
  • Report the case
  • Find a coach
  • Take our program “Personal SWOT analysis” for deeper understanding and help in making and executing your action plan.

My madness greats your madness

My madness greets your madness or

My uniqueness greets your uniqueness

I start with this provoking title to release the worries many people have that if they show their uniqueness they will be judged, claimed, or even labeled like crazy by some people that don`t understand it. (I`m not talking about here real clinical cases) Simply some people are not able just to understand different perspectives or in some cases even gaslighting you or manipulating you. And now I want to give more information for a better understanding of those threats as you could be in such a situation but you could even not be able to notice it.

What does gaslighting means?

The term gaslighting comes from the 1938 British play Gaslight, in which the husband misplaces random objects around the house and dims the gaslight to make his wife think she is going crazy(when she is not).

How this is used in life today?

The gaslighter externalizes and projects their thoughts, feelings, or perceptions onto the victim. In other words, they are trying to tell the other people who they are according to their perception and demanding the people to accept this as their “real self”.

What includes:

  • Minimizing feelings – telling you that you are too much emotional, overreacting.
  • The questioning reality, your memories, and past events
  • Denial of the bad things they did
  • Reputation dragging – trying to discredit you in front of others, doing things behind your back, and trying to present it as yours
  • Using your words against you in different meanings or in an inapplicable situation to drag you down. Here we could add the trolling as well.

You can read more about gaslighting on The Science of people

The second case is manipulation in

“The victim drama triangle”.

So, in this case, there is a Persecutor that makes your life impossible and blames you for everything, even for the bad things they are doing. The target is to push the Victim to go to the Rescuer that has to save it according to the plan and this is the only option because the Victim is convinced that is powerless, hopeless, tucked, and incapable. The problem is that in this case the victim`s self-esteem is smashed, not able to see the real self-value and uniqueness. In other words, is destroyed to be built according to the Rescuer’s desires losing herself/himself. As a result, the Victim`s wishes, desires, dreams, potential, talent, and uniqueness are diminished and people are forced to be and do what their abuser wants. They are reworded when they go in the “right” direction and punished when they are themself. In the end, people could have a lot but at the same time are unhappy and unsatisfied, and are trying to compensate for what is missing with wanting more and more, and enough is never enough. If they want to make a change they would be most probably gaslighted with reputation dragging or make them ashamed that they have a lot but they are unsatisfied and unthankful to the Rescuer. In other words, the Rescuer that saved them and build them after they were destroyed can also break them if they don`t please them.

Both cases Gaslighting and the Drama triangle are violent, very dangerous ones that can ruin people`s lives. If you are a victim of any of them do not hesitate to ask for help and you can follow also the steps described in the article from the link above.

THE GOOD NEWS

While there could be such people that will call you crazy there always will be other people that will see the beauty of your uniqueness and the good news is that there is research for this. It shows that:

Being weird is a huge dopamine producer for other people.

(dopamine – the happiness hormone)

The research also shows that weird experiences or communicating with such people boost people`s creativity, cognitive activity, and pattern recognition. It gets their brain working a new way and be more flexible. More information about the research you can watch in their free course on Udemy: 7 – scientifically proven steps to increase your influence

I want to share with you the example of Vanessa Van Edwards (you can watch it in the video course) to make unique business cards lollipops. Yes, you had read correctly lollipops. Do you know what was the reaction of the people she gave?

“The coolest business cards ever.”

So showing your uniqueness will not only capture their interest but also will boost their happiness, creativity, and flexibility.

How to show our uniqueness without hurting others?

There is a simple and easy way that you can use even for taking decisions.

Try to use your unique talent, skills, and potential to create a Win-Win situation for all parties – You and the others. Appreciate and show your value, not for the loss of the other party but instead, try to show your uniqueness and compliment their uniqueness as well.

My uniqueness greets your uniqueness.

Make your challenges profitable

      Today there won`t be a person that does not face a challenge, especially after Covid-19 pandemic. Even the children had to face it. Some people think that this is the way to grow. No, I don`t think so because this is only to lose our focus on other direction and often is not the best one to reveal our potential. Also it creates lost benefits for the current persona and for the sociaty itself. 

Example: 

When there weren’t sewerage people were struggling for freshwater. One person decided to carry water and made a business from it, later they made the sewerage and we are doing it today as well.

        Anyway, if you are placed in such a situation is better to make it work for you, not just to lose your time.

How you can do it?

       If your challenge is a lack of resources or services they may be the other people also are facing it. YOu can make a short research on the market and answer the following questions that will help you to clarify how you can do it.

  • Can you solve the problem or offer a better solution?
  • Can you fo it by yourself?
  • If not. Can you make it with support?
  • Do other people need it as well?

     If you have the solution and other people are struggling with the same then help them and solve their problem as well making a business from it with a win-win model for all.
