High Energy Groups vs Low Energy Groups
| filed under: The Power of Human EnergyIn our search to learn all we could about human energy and its impact upon human outcomes, especially in teams, groups and organisations, I came across these two word pictures:
High Energy High Performing Groups:
| Informal Experimental Action-oriented High cooperation Low defensiveness High levels of trust Little second-guessing Few trappings of power High respect for learning Few rules and high flexibility Low levels of anxiety and fear Empowering of team members Little discounting or disparaging Failures seen as problems to solve Decisions made at the action point People easily cross organisational lines Many informal problem-solving meetings People pick up and correct the errors of others Trouble puts people into ‘problem-solving’ mode Willingness to take risks and learn from mistakes | The words I use are: Excitement Challenge Growth |
Low Energy Low Performing Groups:
| The words I use are: Fear Stress Decline | Rank is right |
