Neuro-m PhilosophyOverview
The NEURO-M SYSTEM is based in evidence and proven in real-world application
Philosophy
Organisational = personal
- Organisations are productively-purposed human social systems
- Individuals and teams can be no more successful and fulfilled than they are empowered to be
- People pursue meaning and significance through socially-oriented experiences and/or outcomes
- People want to identify with organisations they are associated with, and their status / role within them
- Ethically and practically, a core goal for every organisation must be to optimise experiences and outcomes for employees, employers, customers and broader society
Philosophy
Wellbeing = Performance
Where people feel unable to achieve fulfilment and wellbeing at work, they will feel compelled to:
- Compensate for losses in intrinsic fulfilment through gains in extrinsic rewards (e.g., more pay, less hours)
- Disengage from, or even retaliate against, people, entities and tasks they associate with felt losses
- Reduce cooperation & effort, rebel or leave
Organisations that do not establish fundamental alignments in goals, values and personal factors risk:
- Creating “us vs them” thinking and practices
- Overwhelmingly extrinsic/compliance based motivation, with minimal engagement & performance
- High turnover, gossip, militancy, conflict, legal issues
- Low quality, customer satisfaction, discretionary effort & profit
Philosophy
COMPATIBLE GOALS
We are intrinsically motivated to achieve and maintain feelings of fulfilment and wellbeing (felt as safety, happiness, contentment and good health). This includes:
- Knowledgeability, competence and autonomy
- Status, respect and self-esteem from pursuing and achieving meaningful goals and outcomes
- Creating and maintaining safe, stable relationships
- Performing enjoyable, stimulating, challenging and novel tasks
Organisations are typically purposed with achieving measurable outcomes. They are likely to be accomplished most effectively and consistently by:
- An engaged, focused, cooperative, knowledgeable, skilful and self-managed team who find their work and workplace interactions stimulating and rewarding
- Positive reputations for brand, products and people.
Philosophy
Compatible goals
To ensure ideal outcomes, organisations need to create and sustain ideal conditions
