Deadly Sin 6 - Disengaging Attitudes

Updated: Dec 22, 2020

๐Ÿ‘ฟ Leaders are humans full of emotions. These emotions serve as both a driving force and a signal.


๐Ÿ‘ฟ In times of crisis, they are exacerbated among employees, within each leader and in the markets.


๐Ÿ‘ฟ In this context, we have three mechanisms at our disposal:


๐Ÿ‘ฟ Flight: this is reflected in behaviors such as not making decisions, avoiding certain discussions, focusing on one's favorite functions to the detriment of those that make sense.


๐Ÿ‘ฟ Fight: this results in aggressive behaviors, the multiplication of tactical or even strategic movements, tense interactions with one's environment, the will to be on all fronts.


๐Ÿ‘ฟ Freeze: this leads to procrastination, absence, confinement in one's ivory tower, withdrawal into outside activities.


๐Ÿ‘ฟ These mechanisms are healthy as long as they are mastered and balanced. They become problematic and potentially toxic when uncontrolled.


๐Ÿ‘ฟ In order to be a committed player who champions energy and enthusiasm, it is necessary to proceed with cognitive reframing through reinforced self-awareness, the decoding of the sources of badly mastered behaviors and the courage to change perspective.
