Why self-awareness is the next big opportunity in creating high performing cultures.

A lot of factors affect organisational productivity - employee management, business systems, goal setting and outcomes, to name a few.

And there have already been a lot of discussions on how to improve them.

However, there's still one factor that's been often overlooked but it is crucial to making all of these factors work together.

And that is creating a safe and healthy work environment.

Employees find it challenging to do their best work when their work environment feels unstable.

It may be hard to see daily but from a big-picture perspective, this results in poor engagement and low-standard thinking.

Some examples of factors that can influence them are people pleasing, convenience, peer pressure, political correctness and different psychological stressors.

This is why as leaders, it's crucial to direct our focus towards building a culture that supports and strengthens their psychological resources such as resilience and optimism.

A culture that puts self-leadership and self-awareness at its core.

A culture that practices active listening and consistent feedback.

A culture that values the well-being of its employees.

Once we've established a culture that prioritises self-awareness, we can recognise low-standard thinking before it affects the organisation.

Instead of blaming and making excuses, we're able to influence our workforce to take ownership and responsibility for their choices and move forward despite challenging times.
