A ‘Mastery Culture’ refers to performance-structures and habits that revolve around the support of effort, cooperation, learning, mastery of tasks, and emphasis on individual/team development.
So how should we go about fostering a mastery-oriented culture? Research tells us that task-oriented (rather than ego-oriented individuals) are more likely to persist in the face of failure, put in more effort, select more likely challenging tasks, and stay more motivated and focused in the process of development. Further, self-mastery coheres with increased well being, self-regulation and confidence. Is it enough just to focus on task development and efforts alone?
Workshop 1 : examine 3 Key Principals for Creating a Mastery Culture, and discuss how to implement them for maximum effect and benefit within your team:
- fostering intrinsic motivation by emphasizing the development of expertise, self-determination and ‘sense of belonging’
- making time to develop the inherent talent of individual employees, by providing creative challenges and opportunities to participate in decision-making
- providing evaluative feedback focused on personal and team-improvement, mastery of tasks and challenges, and the quality of the work-process with an emphasis on commitment and self-development
Workshop 2 : create key conditions for Teams to thrive through Trust, Empowerment, and effective Decision-making
The best performing businesses prosper when employees manage their own performance and motivation, and self-motivation is arguably the most important characteristic that companies look for in their employees. However, to empower these benefits there must be a high degree of mutual trust.
Workshop Outcomes :
- examine the success factors required for self-directed teams, and address how leaders can empower their employees and working partners to perfect the balance of autonomy and accountability
- gain insight into how teams are affected by limitations and benefits of team decision-making, how some team structures can improve decision-making, and how the dynamics of team trust are integral to this process
- understand the role tacit knowledge plays in your decision processes and within your team dynamics, to best leverage it for improved information-gathering and decision-making strategies
- examine how leaders and decision-makers can make more effective decisions, and increase the creativity of the solutions they find when problem-solving
