Jumping to conclusions

Enemy-ness

"We leap to conclusions and remember those conclusions as fact. We react on our own prejudices but don't always recognize them as such."

Jumping to conclusions

According to Wikipedia, "jumping to conclusions " (officially the jumping conclusion bias, often abbreviated as JTC, and also referred to as the inference-observation confusion) is a psychological term referring to a communication obstacle where one "judge[s] or decide[s] something without having all the facts; to reach unwarranted conclusions."

JTC has caused me more grief than any other Knower/Judger reaction I can think of. (Read more).....

The Temporary State of Enemy-ness

Can you imagine toilet paper being the root cause of someone's murder? Well, structurally, I can.

In my workshops and keynotes, I bring up the age-old debate on whether toilet paper should roll off the top of the roll or the bottom. My research shows that about 5% of the population is rigidly certain (from their Knower/Judger , of course) that the only proper way toilet paper should come off a roll is off the bottom. The other 95% is convinced (from their K/J) that God meant it to roll off the top. It can be quite amusing when two combatants start debating this in a workshop-and quite difficult to get them back on track.

I use the example to get people to feel just how concrete some of our rules of life, no matter how trivial, can be. (Read more).....

A note from the author:

Trust.

Understanding.

Camaraderie.

Three foundations of successful teams.

It has dawned on me that when working with management teams of highly productive executives, the most progress made is with the individual. After all, it's the individuals who develop these three conditions....or do not.

They may be a part of a team. They may even lead that team. They are first and foremost individuals. People who came to this position with Knower/Judger ramifications that can both serve the mission well and cause it to stumble. Serve the individual's life well, or cause it to stumble as well.

So it is clearly with the individual I work. It is even more fun when I work with multiple interacting individuals, and I can watch interpersonal wellness enhance performance and productivity.

Most managers and executives I have had the pleasure of Coaching report benefits not only in their professional world, but in their personal and recreational worlds as well. The tools are Universal.

If you want to explore expanding potential, enriching relationships, and accelerating performance....anywhere in your world, drop me a line or give me a call. Curiosity is a wonderful teacher.

...and....it's Time to Learn.
