A few ways to remedy this personal and professional challenge include:
• Encouraging feedback from within the organization - It allows you to better understand what’s working within your company and what can still be improved upon.
• Practicing Self Awareness – If you don’t realize your ego is controlling your actions, it’s crucial to look inward to understand why it’s causing you to act in ways that thwart your personal effectiveness so that you can be better at self-managing.
• Being grounded in who you are – Living true to yourself and understanding your values and goals is key. Te ego often overreacts to failure and self- limiting thoughts. Grounding yourself in authenticity fosters consistency and clarity of direction. When your actions align with your true self, you project clarity and certainty because you are being genuine and transparent.
• Getting out of Frustration and into Courage - It takes courage to be wrong and admit to it. Cultivating your ability to admit missteps and embrace vulnerability is key to effectively managing how much your ego controls your behavior. Tis transparency also models vulnerability and authenticity for others to follow.
Have A Direction Being stuck in place can often indicate a lack of specific direction. If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll never know when you’re there. Your organization, the people within it, and you, yourself, all need direction. People need to see the vision, and they need to understand why they must feel compelled to act on that vision.
Ask questions of yourself and those around you. What is your purpose? What is the vision of your organization? Why is that important? How will it benefit the organization, the people in it, and you? What is the contribution you most want to give? When do you know you’ve given it?
Establishing a purpose and defining the contribution your organization aims to make are fundamental aspects of overcoming fear and resistance. Clearly articulated goals and a shared vision provide the necessary guidance for navigating through challenges and driving positive change. When people see and feel the vision, they understand why and how they can contribute. Tis gives them the positive energy to create and move forward, rather than react and stay complacent.
If you don’t have a direction, it’s easy to just stick with whatever you and your organization are doing right now and not change anything. While this approach may keep you afloat for a little while, it won’t enable long-term growth and success for you or your company.
Wake Up and Meet Your Higher Self When you embody the contribution you aspire to make and adjust your behaviors to be congruent with that contribution, you stand a little stronger, your stride is more confident, and your insights more profound. When you take time to establish measures for success and effectiveness, actively seek feedback from others, have a clearly defined direction and focus, and feel strong and secure about yourself and your abilities, that's the point at which fear and resistance no longer have a hold on you. Tat’s when you and your organization are psychologically and ontologically free to create the positive change you aspire to see.
