The Butterfly Impact; a Book Excerpt

This is an excerpt from The Butterfly Impact: Resilience, Resets and Ripples, the new Amazon best-selling book by Mark Briggs.

A crappy culture will surely slow any business down and make it more difficult to achieve goals and hit performance benchmarks. But that’s not the real problem.

A toxic culture can ruin a person’s life. Nine out of 10 American workers, about 130 million people, go home every day feeling they work for an organization that doesn’t listen to or care about them.

Sadly, research also found that the rate of heart attacks goes up 20 percent on Monday morning. Culture is not some touchy-feely nicety that only Silicon Valley startups can afford to have. It’s vital to your health and well-being. And thankfully, you can do something about it.

Lens of The Butterfly Impact

Using The Butterfly Impact as our lens, we know that a poor workplace culture will inevitably infect each person’s life outside of work, too. It only gets worse if your culture is truly toxic or fully dysfunctional. If you think this is management’s responsibility, you’re partially right.

The ability to create and foster a great culture for people to thrive is one of the best traits of great leaders. Waiting for someone else to fix it leads to feeling powerless, however. You can do more than sit back and complain about the culture at your workplace. Again, your health and well-being are at stake.

Here’s the secret: You are the culture.

The Greatest Power in the World.
A SMILE😁

CNBC reported that from a recent study published in the journal Experimental Psychology, researchers found smiling — even a fake smile — can have a positive impact on mood.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/21/simple-trick-that-can-make-you-happier-according-to-research.html #:~:text=According%20to%20a%20recent%20study,into%20thinking%20you're%20happy.&text=%22Dopamine%20increases%20our%20feelings%20of%20happiness.

Essentially, a fake smile (preferably a real one) can trigger certain facial muscles that can "trick" your brain into thinking you're happy.

Will you rather be tricked to be happy or be sad? What if the trick will not just open a supermarket door, but a lot of doors of opportunities?

Try a smile, it is cheap to produce but highly valued by all recipients.

Work-life Quote – My Mistakes My Experiences

Saying there is no such thing as a mistake, is like saying, we "fail forward"; and all things are learning opportunities. If we choose to, such learning or "failing forward" opportunities help us to realize how to do the particular activity better, next time.

When a recruiter ask for work experience, and you list all the good, great, and big achievements, you will realize that they will come back to you. The only intent is try to clarify a point, "is there such a thing as a bad mistake with you?" That is when they ask you, "if there is anything you can change from the past, what will it be?" They are asking for your "good" and "bad" experiences and how you overcame or learnt from them.

Keep doing your thing, keep taking baby steps, keep learning, and have an open heart. Don't let the fear of failure put a limitation on what you can do. Go out there, aim for the best, achieve your goals and be who you are meant to be.

Work with "idiots", even if you realize that one of them is ...

Work-life Quote – I Cannot Work With Idiots

You know what, the idiot in the mirror is not me.

What if my boss still shows up at my home-office using Artificial Intelligence, with his Avatar? And he is standing behind me, exactly the same way he will in the office, watching, micro-managing to ensure that I am doing the work according to his speck, in his own way, according to his own order.

Many times, we need to work with smart people and those who, in our own opinion, are not so smart or intelligent. Possibly, not necessarily idiots.

Someone maybe physically or psychologically challenged, differently enabled (not quite disable), but everyone has something for someone. We just need to have some patience to look closer, deeper, search with a fine brush and with some love or empathy.

Work-life Quote - I cannot work with idiots. Please work with "idiots", even if you realize that person is you. Okay, but the idiot in the mirror is not me.
