Within weeks, the smallest child learns how stress and feelings control the behavior of those around him. Notice, in your next meeting or as you pass through a work area, how this skill is being used. Feelings are Performance Shaping Factors. They control your perception, thought and behavior. The Designed Change Process empowers you to take charge of these Control Valves of Perception, Thought and Action. Your staff can learn how to manage feelings and emotions to maximize productivity and minimize error.
"They just aren't motivated". Motivation is the process of energizing people to be productive. "So, just threaten to fire them and they become motivated quick enough". Right. Only now they are motivated to avoid being fired, and they do that with all their energy. Productivity from that is accidental and limited. The optimal motivation is developed by each person, and developed themselves. Then they will not blame others while they ignore the problems they see around them. Rather, they will begin to work as a motivated and integrated team. The Designed Change Process carefully designs motivation into your organization.
They talk about blind rage. They say love is blind. They are right. When you are looking for excellence, and you need both high productivity and accuracy, you need a work force which knows what feelings they need for what work. Product development requires flexibility of thinking and a setting of low stress. Production needs intensity, concentration and automatic activity. The Designed Change Process equips you to produce these varied forms of thought and action through managing the skills of feelings.
