Adaptive Feedback aligns with the reality of humans... Adaptive feedback gives you a portfolio of skills that can be flexibly adapted to each conversation. Rooted in proven behavioral psychology, Adaptive Feedback is based on four essential pillars: ➡️ Human-centeredness: Adaptive Feedback meets people where they are, accepting the messy reality of human interaction. ➡️ Mindsets over models: Adaptive Feedback helps people adopt an optimal mindset for entering into feedback conversations. ➡️ Principles over protocols: Instead of rigid protocols, Adaptive Feedback teaches psychological principles and how they can be applied. ➡️ Proven behavioral science: Adaptive Feedback is rooted in sound theory, based on evidence, and is tested by the rigors of reality.

Could you be a covert manipulator and not know it? The answer is very possibly yes, according to Seth J. Gillihan, a psychologist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy. In an intriguing post at Psychology Today, Gillihan defines covert manipulation as "subtle ways of trying to influence what other people think, feel, and do." And, he writes, many of us engage in covert manipulation without realizing it. #leadership #management #careers #behavior Seth Gillihan | Harry Flaris | Geo Slam | Anthony Dondarski, Certified SAFe® 5 Agilist, SMC, SFC | Will Lukang, MBA, PMP, CSM | Amanda G. | Renee Johnstone | Giacomo Mascillaro | Michael O'Hara | Richard Hurley https://lnkd.in/exZuT8Uk

#learningneverstops #tamingbias #cognitivebias #problemsolving #betterdecisions #agileteams Cognitive bias profoundly shapes the ways we perceive, think, and make decisions. They are mental shortcuts which have evolved through countless generations and provide dramatic benefits and substantial drawbacks. Bias is active in all parts of life – personal, professional, and social. And they are particularly insidious in Wicked Problems. Taming bias is a vital skill in today's knowledge work. But it's hard and requires a process, self-awareness, and a willingness to examine how we work as teams and individuals. If we don’t have tools to address bias, we dramatically increase our vulnerability to risk. But if we learn the language of bias and apply the principles of ‘plays’ in addressing them, we become more effective in our work. Learning never stops!

5 words that prevent learning:    "I knew it all along!"  This is an example of Hindsight bias, and it’s not just an annoying habit. It's a cognitive trap that can seriously impair our decision-making. This mental quirk makes us believe events were more predictable than they actually were. It oversimplifies the past, leading us to incorrectly assign blame or credit. This prevents us from learning from our mistakes. When we convince ourselves we "knew it all along," we miss the opportunity to analyze what really happened and how we can improve. If you want to make better decisions, start by recognizing when hindsight bias is at play.  Question your post-event narratives. Was it really that obvious? What information did you actually have at the time? By challenging our hindsight bias, we open ourselves up to genuine learning and growth.

Negative Learning in the Workplace: What's Happening and Who Needs to Fix It Negative learning at work isn't just about picking up bad habits from others. It's also about the deeper stuff happening in our brains and psychology. It's like everyone’s ignoring the elephant in the room. Let's break it down and see why fixing this is super important. The Brain Stuff 1. How Our Brains Copy Others - Mirror Neurons: These brain cells make us mimic what we see. So, if someone’s slacking off, our brains might push us to do the same. 2. Feeling Good vs. Doing Good - Dopamine Hits: Our brain loves to feel good. If avoiding work makes us feel less stressed or gives us a quick pleasure, we might keep doing it. 3. Stress Mess - Cortisol Overload: Stress can mess with our brains, making it hard to make good decisions. This can lead us to bad habits like procrastination. Why We Copy Bad Habits 1. Learning by Watching - Monkey See, Monkey Do: We learn by watching others. If we see colleagues dodging work without getting in trouble, we might do the same. 2. Fitting In - Peer Pressure: When everyone’s doing it, it feels normal. We might start slacking off just to fit in. Why We Need to Fix This 1. Productivity Plunge - Work Slows Down: Bad habits spread, and suddenly, no one’s getting anything done. 2. Morale Tanks - Frustrated Workers: The people who work hard feel discouraged when they see others getting away with doing nothing. 3. Company Health - Long-term Damage: Over time, this can really hurt the company’s performance and lead to more people quitting. Who Needs to Step Up? 1. Leaders and Managers - They need to notice these bad habits and address them. Setting clear expectations and giving feedback is key. 2. HR Teams - HR should create policies and training that promote good habits and hold people accountable. 3. Employees - Everyone needs to be aware of their own actions and how they affect others. Supporting each other to stay on track is important. Understanding why negative learning happens can help us stop it. Promoting good behaviors and keeping everyone accountable will make the workplace better for everyone. #HR #WorkplacePsychology #Neurobiology #CorporateCulture #EmployeeEngagement

(Key Mental Model List - Gabriel Weinberg) A mental model is just a concept you can use to help try to explain things (e.g. Hanlon’s Razor — “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by carelessness.”). There are tens of thousands of mental models, and every discipline has their own set that you can learn through coursework, mentorship, or first-hand experience. There is a much smaller set of concepts, however, that come up repeatedly in day-to-day decision making, problem solving, and truth seeking. As Munger says, “80 or 90 important models will carry about 90% of the freight in making you a worldly‑wise person.” #mentalmodel #mentalmodels #criticalthinking #decisions #decisionmaking #wisdom #strategicthinking
