@WaleAkinyemi This is so true. When the most passionate people in the team stop talking, there is a problem. Thanks Doc

WHAT IS THE INTERNAL HEART RATE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION?

A lot of studies have shown the correlation between the work environment and the heart rate of workers. The surprising thing is that those with high heart rates were not necessarily those with the toughest jobs. They were the people with the toughest job environments. They were the people who worked in places deficient in psychological safety.

The things that stress us are not the things that we WANT to do. They are the things that we HAVE to do. To illustrate this, if a person loves to walk and walks 5 km every day, the walk will not have any negative impact on their heart rate. In fact it will be positive and good cardio. Rather than being stressed, they will feel accomplished. If however they are driving somewhere and the car runs out of fuel necessitating a 1 km walk, it will be the longest 1km ever and it is more likely to raise the heart rate than the 5km walk.

Where there is a gap between expectation and reality in the workplace, stress will set in and the heart rate will also go up. So, a healthy workplace is not just healthy in terms of the business deliverables. The true state of an organization's health may lie in the heart rate of the workers when they think of the office or when they come to the office.

Again let me stress, it is not necessarily tied to how stressful or difficult their assignment is. You may have a highly demanding role and have a normal heart rate and then you may have a role that is so low pressure and still have a high heart rate because of the work environment.

What are some of the signs of a workplace that needs quick intervention?

1. If people lose their joy at the thought of work
2. If the job no longer ignites excitement and is just for paying bills
3. If people you once considered untouchables - people who were the greatest lovers of the brand begin to leave
4. When the rate of contributing fresh and bold ideas begins to wane
5. If silos begin to emerge.

Now silos are the products of poor internal communication or when a group of people feel that they are not being heard. This often leaves people dependent on the grapevine which is the beginning of trouble. Silos also emerge where people are looking for expression and experience has shown that they will gravitate to where they find it.

I am sure there are more indicators than the 5 I have listed but like I said when introducing this series, I will only talk from what I have seen and experienced over 3 decades. I am not in anyway trying to be intellectually or academically correct. What I am sharing here, is reported purely as an eye witness.

So, what is the internal heart rate of your organization? Are you ACE-ing it?

Technology defines the environment in which countries must respond to #COVID19.

This will accelerate innovations but will also be a magnifying glass for weaknesses in technology and in govt policies.

#Covid19 has put policymakers in an impossible position.

Keeping economies open leads to significant loss of life, while stringent lockdown causes severe economic damage.
