Management

Your subconscious is working against you – a simple tweak to your thought process can fix that.

We’re all biased.

You may have read the above and already your mind is raising its defenses. No… I don’t have a biased bone in my body.

The fact is: you do. So does everyone around you.

Scientific studies, in fact, suggest that certain forms of bias may be hardwired into the human psyche.

For instance, Professor Stephen Neuberg published research in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in 2005, showing that we evolved as a species to quickly assess dangers posed by those outside our group for survival.

The ability to process information rapidly was a life-or-death evolutionary advantage to our ancestors in their hostile environment.

As our environmental landscape changed, we still needed to process information with speed, but the decisions became increasingly nuanced.

The swift system that evolved to identify and mitigate threats in hunter-gatherer societies became faulty, resulting in several cognitive biases everyone harbors.

Cognitive biases – or mental shortcuts – help you sift through the massive volumes of information available at each given time.

One comes to appreciate this thought process when confronted with the fact that, according to Professor Timothy Wilson from the University of Virginia, we face about 11,000,000 pieces of information simultaneously.

However, these mental shortcuts can lead to irrational, false, or even harmful conclusions.

For example, an HR manager – overestimating their understanding of a subject – could neglect to consult knowledge specialists during their hunt for new tech solutions.

This could lead to a loss of crucial time required for operational tasks.

Worse, this decision could lead to losing company money on ineffective tech solutions.

Such cognitive processes can consequently prove detrimental to your professional and personal life.

But wait – you didn’t think we’d leave you without good news, did you?

All the techniques that give you control over subconscious cognitive activities are within your reach.

Highly effective sales meetings motivate, excite, and provide the sales team with clarity and focus. As a consequence, the investment cost (in terms of both time and money) accrues a healthy Return on Investment (ROI), and supports achievement of the Sales Management job purpose of ‘achieving sales through others’. This return though doesn’t happen by accident. Careful attention to the right preparation, effective implementation via the use of well developed chairmanship and facilitation skills, along with robust follow-up all contribute to success; there is a recipe for success.Sometimes though, one or more of the ingredients can be lacking, or may even be missing altogether. This can turn the meeting from one which achieves an impressive ROI to one which impacts negatively on motivation, fails to contribute to clarity and focus, and (at best) provides only limited returns.This book plugs that gap, and provides the pragmatic and practical ‘know how’ (including a chapter on the do’s and don’ts related to virtual meetings) to ensure that sales meetings are indeed ‘motivational’!It’s puzzling then that so many organisations don’t provide their Sales Management team(s) with formal input regarding how to ensure this critically important activity drives success.

This book reimagines how safety performance is done. The two authors share case studies and stories from decades of experience working with companies globally to create sustainable safety performance in high-risk operations. It takes a practitioner’s approach to translate academic theory into practical steps that can be used from the boardroom to the frontline.
Safety is ultimately about people. Safety Performance Reimagined identifies the need for a sociotechnical approach and introduces the concept of 4-Dimensional Safety which successfully navigates the complex interplay between people, technology, systems, the structures, and the markets they operate in.
How do leaders and the people conducting operations in complex environments create resilient, safe, and sustainable performance?
The conventional approach fails to equip organizations to handle the complex interplay between people and technology in workplaces. Safety Differently, Safety-II, and HOP have all contributed to answering the “what’s missing” question. They address the Why and the What of the New View of safety, but there is one more piece that needs more exploration—the How.
This book provides proven practical solutions and outlines ‘How’ organizations can achieve sustainable safety performance.
