What's Love Got to do with Performance & Productivity at Workplace?

We surveyed more than 3,200 employees in 17 organizations spanning seven industries: biopharmaceutical, engineering, financial services, higher education, public utilities, real estate, and travel. In organizations where employees felt and expressed companionate love toward one another; people reported greater job satisfaction, commitment, and personal accountability for work performance.
- From an article published in Harvard Business Review, Jan-Feb 2016 by
Sigal Barsade, Professor of Management, Wharton;
Olivia A. O’Neill, Assistant Professor of Management, George Mason University

To cut-over to greatness, organizations need to train their leaders on three critical skills. Infact, these three critical skills are also needed to be able to perform a role of a great parent. You cannot fulfil 100% of your intentions and realize your greatest dreams in deepest communion with your highest self, if you haven't trained yourself on these three fundamental skills which unfortunately are neither taught in schools, nor colleges, not even in the organizations where there's a continual search for ways to increase performance & productivity.

These 3 skills are:
1. Nurturing Skills: Give your unconditional love and acceptance to your people. This is what Sigal and Olivia above discovered in their extensive research. What it means is that a Leader needs to learn to be a parent to their people, and have people experience being nurtured. 
2. Coaching Skills: Support your people to realize their greatest dreams in deepest communion with their highest self. This is when your people will give their lives to you. Performance and productivity is highest when people work with their heart, not just with their mind; and have childlike trust & faith in their leader's commitment for them.
3. Leadership Skills: I mean being a Leader in the New Model of Leadership where the Leader does 10X of what he asks his team to do, is an inspirational role-model and not a motivational speaker. Charisma is of no value, just as Jim Collins found. Motivation is being pushed from the outside, inspiration is when it comes from the inside. Real leaders inspire by their example, by being the highest expression of what they want their team to be. 

The above skills require a fundamental shift in the Being of the Human Being, and that cannot be achieved in the current model of Leadership. What is really needed is evolution, now no longer on the physical plane; but on the mental, emotional and spiritual planes to transform what it means to be a human being.

The current model of Leadership creates High Performers, who actually use a very limited capacity of what's really available to them to create results. In my blog yesterday, I distinguished between High Performers and Super Performers. If you are seeking Super Performance, you need to cut-over to the new model of Leadership which is where the performance barrier is broken.

Sure; we can choose to live with dog-eat-dog competitiveness, resignation, cynicism, rat-race culture, people cutting stone uninspired by what they are doing, merely coming to work to get that salary at the end of the month, no purpose, no passion, just zombies staring at their screens or attending meetings. There cannot be breakthrough performance here.

And yet, we can choose something else - Monday morning excitement to come to work; people discovering to live their purpose through the work they do and working with joyful passion; relating to each other as extra-ordinary and with love, gratitude, reverence; every act done with mastery consciousness not for a positive appraisal but because it deeply fulfils people to do it that way; integrity expressed as being on time everytime, doing what is said by the time it is said not because boss or customer is chasing but because honouring one's word is the only way to live; having it all - deeply fulfilling successful career, joyful relationships, happy responsible kids and lots of nourishing me-time while making a huge difference to the world. Yes, this is in the domain of possibility. All you need is to leave your resignation and cynicism outside the door; and believe. Inside of that belief, you will get the Power to Create™ a brave new world.

The time has come.

Love,
Jyoti.
