I came across an article on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The subject is of great intrigue to me, and set me thinking about how we can opt to OMIT to EMIT, as even the best made cars emit carbon dioxide. But hang on – are we to be concerned only about gas, heat, light, or radiation related emissions? What about behavioral emission? What kind of energy do we emit at the workplace? In society?
In psychology, emitted behavior is referred to as the observable behavior that is emitted in response to any stimulus. For instance, if we touch a hot surface, we instantly recoil and give out a sound. So how does our behavior impact our work culture?
Leaders play a significant role in shaping the culture of the workplace. When they emit clear and transparent communication and follow up with their actions, they can omit, or at least mitigate, the destruction of trust and engagement of the workforce. When leaders emit a positive attitude and make themselves more available and approachable to their team members, they can omit decreased collaboration within teams, and foster better teamwork and organizational productivity.
By emitting the right communication, leaders can omit misalignment of corporate level and department level goals. When they emit reliability and accountability, they are able to instill improved confidence in their teams, as team members feel secure under their leadership. Morale is on the high across the organization, and there is higher job satisfaction. This results in lower manpower turnover, as well as higher creativity and innovation at the workplace.
Omitting to encourage and support their teams can result in a toxic work environment, higher tardiness, reduced enthusiasm to meet targets, and an overall discontentment. At the same time, micromanaging teams can emit lack of self-confidence in team members, often disrupting work-flows. When leaders choose to omit giving clear directions, there is increased chance of errors, leading to re-work and ultimately higher costs.
Long story short, leaders who are role models of positive behavior inspire similar behavior at the workplace and ultimately lead to great direction and clarity, higher engagement levels, fewer mistakes and errors, better problem-solving, better teamwork, higher productivity, and a stress-free work environment.
