“Eventually.......!” 😀
It is probably true that ‘they’ say, “all good things come to those who wait”.
Well, eventually, my waiting is over, and I am, eventually, on my way to Ireland. I never anticipated to travel in October and had to attend to quite a few other matters that were arranged months ago🤭….BUT, happy to eventually visit my daughter in Dublin! 🇨🇮
With packing and getting everything ready for the trip, it reminded me again of the last few months’ feeling insecure, uncertain, badly treated and ignored (visa office and embassy), waiting in anticipation, not knowing what and when (the future) ….ALL related to the SCARF model, which is such a useful tool in the World of Work.
Here is a reminder of the SCARF model, to consider when you really want your team to perform in excellence…. remember all these ‘domains’ have a positive and / or negative effect on productivity, engagement, motivation and general well-being of every individual member in your team.
What is the SCARF Model? 🧠
The SCARF Model was developed by David Rock: "SCARF: A Brain-Based Model for Collaborating with and Influencing Others."
SCARF stands for the five key "domains" that influence our behavior.
1. Status – our relative importance to others.
2. Certainty – our ability to predict the future.
3. Autonomy – our sense of control over events.
4. Relatedness – how safe we feel with others.
5. Fairness – how fair we perceive the exchanges between people to be.
I shall be back middle October
Greetings from the moss green island, IRELAND….
