Creating a Stress Resilient Culture
Are you working in an innovative organization where leaders model by their words and actions that they care about the well-being of employees? Do the leaders in your organization have a positive mindset about employees’ welfare? Does your company or law firm offer stress resiliency programs for management and employees?
One of the most powerful questions one can ask is “Do I create an optimistic workplace climate full of possibility and maximizing everyone’s potential?” Emotionally intelligent leaders truly care about helping all employees achieve healthy, happy and productive lives.
Are you a leader who models stress resilience by creating a workplace culture and climate where hardworking employees feel appreciated? Are you able to create a high performance workplace where employees are fully engaged and aligned with the organizations’ vision? Do you have an organizational culture which values appreciating all of its employees and the value they add to your enterprise? Do organizational leaders encourage stress prevention and health promotion?
Culture and Climate
An overwhelming number of companies are merely mediocre because they culturally replicate fear-based behaviors, reacting to events rather than proactively driving toward a vision. Far too often, a negative climate of judgment and criticism is created by leaders at the top. Leaders at these companies inhibit human potential and create an atmosphere that leads to less than stellar performance.
Successful companies are most often led by leaders concerned with the well-being and full potential of everyone who works in the organization. Research demonstrates that the most successful companies are led by leaders who are humble, inclusive, inspirational and willing to demonstrate innovative/visionary leadership.
Leaders Mindsets
Human behaviors are often difficult to change, but attitude and cultural adjustments are the only ways to differentiate yourself long term. To have a meaningful effect, leaders’ attitudinal changes must precede actual organizational changes, which ultimately creates social and employee shifts from stress behaviors to optimal performance.
It takes focus and intention to improve corporate culture, instill attitudinal changes in positive thinking and routinely express appreciation. You must find a few actionable principles that truly make a difference and revolutionize workplace culture. You must take specific steps to cascade these principles deep into the company, at every level and into every behavior.
This is a big order, which begins with inspired leadership at the top.
Working with a seasoned executive coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating leadership assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i and CPI 260 can help you become an inspiring leader who shows authentic appreciation and stress resiliency. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become happily engaged with the strategy and vision of your company or law firm.
