What you need to know about the Fertile Void (2/2)

What you need to know about the Fertile Void (final):At work we will always choose the best way of maintaining balance as we adjust our behavior to changing circumstances. Sometimes the process gets stuck, and the person cannon develop.The 4 typical strategies that people use but that block their development:✔ Introjection: the person has swallowed opinions whole. With a fixed belief about how to behave, the options are limited. E.g: “you must be strong” or “don’t cause trouble”✔ Projection: when a person projects onto other people and disowns her own behavior denying her contribution. E.g: manager who complains that the team is unresponsive.✔ Retroflection: a person does to himself what he wants to do to other people. E.g: Self-blame “it’s all my fault”✔ Confluence: someone who merges with others with a weak sense of own needs. E.g: someone agreeing too readily, unable to disagree with the group.If this happens ask yourself:✨ what was I trying to avoid?✨ what would I lose if I stopped behaving in this way?✨ What would I gain?Priority #1 is to raise our self-awareness; the start point for change! 👊
