In today’s workforce the talent pool of technically competent people fluctuates. While everyone still competes to hire people with strong technical skills, it is becoming increasingly clear that performance is a function of both technical skill and behaviour capacity. Furthermore, the increasing stress of the pace of change and organizational complexity has been shown to have a direct effect on behaviour capacity that impacts the effectiveness of technical skill to drive performance.
Behaviour capacity is the leverage that drives technical skill performance because behaviour capacity is directly linked to how the brains of people actually function. Brain research has proven your neurological energy drives your thought-habits and feelings, which ultimately manifest as human behaviour in the physical world. Therefore, if peak performance is your end state, then transformational change is essential to achieve it and you need to recruit and develop people with both technical and behaviour capacity skill sets that can be easily morphed into a culture of collaboration and growth.
Much like technical skill, behaviour skill can be taught by creating a common language and knowledge-base around human energy, aka neurological energy. Harnessing people power, both individually and at a corporate level, begins with the skill of Positive Presence™. Positive Presence is a new and deliberate way of thinking and behaving that makes the connection between human energy and behaviour and is easily practiced and developed right on the job. For many, it is just a lot of common sense, but for others it is a slow and gentle process that requires the help of both team mates and leaders.
