Every frustrated leader eventually shrugs and wants to tell employees "Leave your sob stories, excuses, jealousies, negativity, and complaints at the door. DON'T BRING IT TO WORK... JUST DO YOUR JOB!!!"

 

If it were only that easy, leading, managing, and supervising would be stress free and fiscally sound. If you, as a CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, team leader or supervisor want less stress and more productivity, continue to read.

 

Dr. Sylvia Lafair's leadership programs, consulting, and coaching, based on her successful book "Don't Bring It to Work: Breaking the Family Patterns that Limit Success", offer the way OUT of the swirling, spiraling sensitivities that cause team conflict, low moral, and high blood pressure.

 

The OUT technique teaches you to Observe, Understand, and Transform behaviors that interfere with company productivity, team collaboration, and personal fulfillment.

Thirty years of her 'in the trenches' research led to a major breakthrough. The patterns you learned in your original organization, the family, are the ones you bring to your present work organization. Not only that, when stress hits the hot button, there is a natural tendency to lock in (she explores the 13 most common patterns), and that means if you think a co-worker is acting like a baby... you're right!

 

The OUT technique helps individuals, teams and whole companies learn to become Pattern Aware. Power games, favoritism, micro inequities, shaming, blaming, judging are replaced with spontaneity, responsibility, fairness, appreciation, cooperation, and accountability. We have seen increases in sales, customer satisfaction, loyalty and decreases in sick days, human resource interventions, and legal hassles.

 

Being Pattern Aware is the work of 21st century leaders. Cognitive thinking, emotional intelligence, and relationship dynamics are combined in a user friendly way with a powerful systems' perspective to help you live a better life, at work and at home.


CNN LogoIs your boss a bully who needs to feel important and boosts his ego by withholding important information from you? Or maybe you work with someone who is so fearful of argument or criticism that problems go unsolved because she won't discuss them.

CNN LogoLafair’s book covers psychology, specifically how your family environment affects your work life... Covert, who says he is “not usually a fan of books like this,” gives this one a thumbs up. He cites its compelling discussion of the various roles people adopt, how they disrupt work teams, and for its recommendation of ways to get around them.

CNN LogoIn my dotage, I have discovered some things—one of them being that, often times, patterns repeat themselves. In Don’t Bring It to Work, Sylvia Lafair contends that negative behavior traits at work can often be traced back to one’s family. And, though being a jokester or a gossip at work can be fun, it can also be very destructive in a team business environment.
