Evidence indicates that careers are no longer for life. Furthermore the art of ‘getting along’ with your colleagues appears to have diminished, writes David Bredin, and this has led to an increase in communication problems and at times, hostility. Neither bodes well for business or any kind of relationship in a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected.
Research in neuroscience is now bringing forward a plethora of scientifically backed ideas of how to deal with human social behaviours in a more positive way. Dr David Rock’s NeuroLeadership Institute has created a model, SCARF, that may be helpful in unpicking the underlying issues in ‘mismatched’ relationships. (We'll be looking further at SCARF and how we're using it in later articles).
Whether it be a better understanding of these social behaviours through science or simply finding time to communicate, this ability to be better at ‘getting along’ is becoming ever more important in today's environment. This may well help in creating better interpersonal relationships as well as extending the quality of extended careers and stability in people’s lives. To discuss how we can help you and your teams enhance their communication skills and effectiveness, get in touch.
