When
the pandemic and recession struck, everyone suddenly had to change
their schedules, routines and work structures almost overnight. This
substantial behavioral change was a shock and many found
it difficult to change to their new environment. Going forward these
unproductive behaviors become entrenched and the associated
underperformance issues are much more difficult to remedy.
People
often try to rationalize faulty behavioral patterns, rather than
confront them. They pretend that it isn't happening, convince
themselves that it's not important, or believe that it will sort
itself out. This is dangerous.
Most managers and HR professionals are well aware that the new world
environment has had a wide range of impacts on employees. That said,
many
managers are still wary about having potentially difficult performance
conversations during a difficult time especially since
underperformance can be impacted by changes in behavior.
The great
majority of Coaches, Managers, Leaders, Supervisors, Team Leaders
have been trained to provide performance oriented coaching via
positional technical skills training, some thinking skills
(motivation, perseverance etc) and feedback only. However, it
is not possible to put people’s emotions and behavior in stasis. The
emotional, cognitive and physical effects many people are dealing
with are profound and potentially long lasting
Many recent studies have shown that “Technical Skills” (our natural
skills and learnt skills through training and experience) only
represent at best 20% of the input into our performance. The
remaining 80% which affects performance primarily comes from our mindset
(how we make sense of the world) and emotional aspects driving
behavior -ie; Emotional stability, Commitment to
growth, Performing well under stress, Self-awareness, Self-control,
Resilience….etc). Recent studies have confirmed Managers / Leaders
simply don’t understand just how deep rooted their own behavior
patterns are, let alone how to positively change them in other
people.
In times of prolonged economic uncertainty, candor, clarity and
honesty along with care and trust are critical elements to providing
a supportive and flourishing workplace environment.
When there are personal matters and mental aspects associated with
underperformance, a person may not even realize any problem exists,
and therefore show no insight into the causes. A
behavioral trained coach (internal or external) provides a range of behavioral self-awareness
programs for all people so they have the opportunity to obtain the perspective,
recognize the negative behavioral drivers at work and make the
necessary behavioral driver exchanges.
Coaching conversations
If a performance issue has been happening for a few days it may be a
blip; if the problem is persisting for weeks then it is starting to
become a pattern. Two to three months of the same behavior means
that it is likely to continue unless the circumstances or
environment rapidly and fundamentally change. Performance issues
that have been ongoing for many months are unlikely to change
substantially without two or three one-to-one, behavioral intervention
coaching sessions.
Behavioral Coaching drives Performance Coaching
Unsurprisingly, changing economic conditions are simply a wake-up
call for leaders to challenge themselves and their teams to best
manage the worry and achieve even more ambitious results through
rigorous self-awareness and the new possibilities that go with it.
Uncovering any underlying maladaptive, unsuitable driving behavior and replacing them with
higher-performing choices via evidence-based, behavioral change
coaching is now a must for today's leaders and managers.
In times of stress people require some means to acquire personal
contentedness, peace of mind, security etc. 21st Century Behavioral
Focused Coaching, based on solid neuro-psychological theory and
evidence-based practice, is now a proven vehicle to; 1) improve the
well-being and functioning of the company (it's people) and, 2)
assist those in transition -in or out of the company.
