TRADING PLACES: The Being Playful Podcast: Playfulness to Revolutionise Performance
Manage episode 461376153 series 3310977
Ever wondered how playfulness and authentic communication could revolutionise workplace culture and accelerate outstanding leadership? In this episode I joined Chris Marshall, Behavioural Scientist and Founder of The Playfulness Institute, as a guest on his 'The Being Playful Podcast'.
We talked about how creating the right environment enables both people and businesses to flourish. I shared my perspective on workplace dynamics, revealing how understanding and responding to human needs creates environments where creativity, innovation, and authentic connection can thrive. I explain how focusing on the human side of business leads to better performance and engagement.
The conversation explores the deep connection between environment, emotional awareness, and performance, with key insights including:
- The distinction between controlling performance and creating conditions for excellence
- How acknowledging emotions can transform team dynamics
- The importance of leaders modelling authentic behaviour
- Why collective intelligence trumps individual brilliance
- The power of understanding and working with our natural stress responses
We deep dive into:
- How creating psychologically safe environments enables peak performance
- Why pausing and self-awareness are crucial for effective leadership
- The importance of normalising emotional responses in professional settings
- How playfulness naturally emerges when stress levels decrease
- The role of curiosity in fostering innovation and connection
The discussion takes fascinating turns into how both playfulness and emotional awareness can help manage uncertainty, encourage authentic expression, and create environments where innovation flourishes. This leads to more effective leadership and deeper workplace relationships.
