Beauty ahead of Time - Global Mind set : Chapter 11:  Two approaches to thinking 

©Keiko Kelly Mizuno SPACES,INC.

Your way of thinking can either stifle or liberate your inner creativity.  An individual's specific way of thinking begins in childhood and is usually acquired by imitating one or both parents. When you were too young to understand things, you learned from the way your parents thought.

 

A different mindset is usually a survival or coping mechanism.

It is developed unconsciously and unthinkingly as a reaction to the uncertainty and unpredictability that surrounds you. Fortunately, it is possible to unlearn these styles of thinking because they are learned. With continuous training, positive and more active thinking can overcome and counteract unhelpful thinking.

With continuous training, positive and more active thinking can overcome and counteract unhelpful thinking.

 

Mechanical thinking

 

If you adopt different styles of thinking and arrange them in a wide field, you will have mechanical thinking on the one hand and adaptive thinking on the other.

 

People who think mechanically are rigidly inflexible and very fixed in their ideas and opinions. They rely on what is known as "mechanical thinking" or unconscious thinking, and are unwilling to bend their ideas and interpretations, or to adopt ideas and opinions that deviate from what they have once decided to think.　

 

Mechanical thinking is also a form of "standard thinking", judging all things as opposite, black or white, wrong or right, with little or no distinction.

 

Why doesn't it work?

 

Mechanical thinkers have a tendency to be pessimistic and to look for reasons why something new or different won't work. In natural language processing, this is called "classification by difference". This type of person will keep looking for ways in which your words or suggestions differ from past events or from what they currently believe. Once they find a difference or conflict, your ideas are immediately disregarded and discarded.

 

Mechanical thinking is not creative. The favorite word of mechanical thinkers is "no". They have a so-called mental hardening or "attitude hardening".

 

How do we confront the mechanical thinker? By placing them in jobs and positions that do not require creative thinking. Most governments have people like this in their ranks, from the top to the bottom. This is why it is so difficult to get bureaucrats and government officials to accept anything better or different.

 

They can be good accountants, engineers and programmers. They score high on the aptitude tests for "adaptability" and "stability". They feel most comfortable in situations that are completely predictable and where change and disruption are unlikely. They are not particularly creative, but they are happy there. In fact, most of them are convinced that other people, who are more flexible and open to new ideas, are more unstable and less capable than they are.

 

Adaptive Thinking

 

Adaptive thinking is characterized by a high degree of flexibility in the approach to a project, problem or goal. As already mentioned, this way of thinking is also a characteristic of geniuses and highly creative people. This kind of thinking is something you should train yourself to do on a daily basis.

 

As is often the case, some people think mechanically in certain areas and adaptively in others. Some people are very firm in their political or religious beliefs, but relaxed and easygoing in other matters. The ideal for you would be to be an adaptive thinker in as many areas as possible.

 

Be flexible

 

People who think adaptively have no prejudices. They avoid clinging to their own ideas. They are impartial, stepping away from an idea and thinking as if someone else had come up with it and asked them for an objective assessment.

 

They are more flexible and try to look at the problem from many angles. They are optimistic in their belief that problems can be solved and are always looking for innovative and positive solutions to the most difficult challenges.

 

They are creative, imaginative and ask open-ended questions - why? When? Where? How? By whom? Which? and so on.

 

The key to being a good, adaptive creative thinker is to withhold judgment on as many things as possible, especially in the beginning. By withholding judgement and eliminating prejudice, you will naturally be more flexible in your thinking.

 

Finally, be willing to change your mind if you make a decision and receive new information that could counteract that decision. In particular, don't allow yourself to get hung up on a particular idea or belief if the evidence is against you.

 

Action

 

1. challenge your self-control beliefs about yourself, especially about your talents, abilities and potential. What if what you believe is not true? What if you have unlimited potential and all you have to do is use it? What would you do? Write down the bullet points.

 

2. think about a situation that is currently causing you considerable frustration or anger. Imagine that the attitude you are taking is completely wrong and that another person is right. Or imagine that there is an effective way of dealing with the situation that is completely different to what you have been thinking about. Draw a picture of the way you feel when you change your attitude. Or write it down in words!

 

3. Write down the chapters and sentences you have read so far from chapter 1 to chapter 10 that have given you the best ideas. By finding ideas and sentences that suit you from what you have learned in this way, you will be able to develop new intellectual skills. Try to write them down. If you don't write it down, it doesn't mean you haven't learnt anything, it just means you don't have enough curiosity to unlock your own potential.

One of the clearest signs of learning is rethinking your assumptions and revising your opinions.

竹のように粘り強く地にねずき、風がなびいても、なかなか折れない

心理的安全性の高い職場、健康経営を実現する為に

                        勇氣・元氣・エネルギーマネジメントWS研修のご案内

―　働くことって楽しい！

2022年2月に入り本格的に風の時代の寅年が始まりました。リモートワークがニューノーマルの新たな就労様式のひとつとなるなか、大事なことは、やはり対面でのコミュニケーションとなります。しかしながら、まだまだ新型コロナ収束が見えない中でのハイブリッド型を目指しての新たなリーダーシップスタイルを各社、各組織、そして各人が個人の能力を評価しながら、健康的なマネジメントスキルを日々の中で模索しながらスキルUP、マインドセットしています。４月からはセカンドクオーターです。新しい人財との対話、新しいチームとのやり取りが新たに始まります。併せて、世界中が本氣モードで地球環境と働く・学ぶことの平等を広げようとしています。日本の働く環境での最重要課題としているのが「パワハラ」です。人間は無意識のうちに、人を傷つけています。傷つけあって戦うことをやめてしまい殻に籠り、我慢して前に進む事さえしなくなり、いつの間にか心の病にかかってしまっていることさえ氣がつかない人が今沢山いることをご存知でしょうか。

改正パワーハラスメント法は、働き方改革を実現する為の職場実態調査から2019年に労働施策総合推進法が見直され、職場における上司と部下、企業に関連する外部サポート役に対して心理的に安全な職場のマナーとしてパワーハラスメント対策が強化されました。大企業は既に昨年の6月から従業員および関連するメンバーに対して周知および教育が大企業は2020年6月１日から義務化され、2022年４月からはすべての企業で遵守が法律で決まりました。安心安全な職場環境に必要な措置を人事や経営側が講じるだけではなく、「パワハラが起こらない組織づくり」に向けて取り組むことが重要になっています。

パワハラの原因には、ニューノーマル時代で働く「意識変化」や、従業員同士のコミュニケーションの希薄化など、職場意識の問題があると考えられます。このため、これらをひとつづつ丁寧に対応していくことで職場におけるパワハラ防止意識を高めることに繋がります。

本ワークショップでは、実際にパワハラを体験した方々からの体験談をもとに作成されたコンテンツです。社内でパワハラ防止研修を実施する技術をご紹介致します。実際に体験いただくことで、社内外マネジメントにお役立て頂ければ幸いです。
