Getting into solutions mode, a first step towards professional efficiency

Are you one of those people who believe that professional efficiency is a "must" for career development? Are you looking to improve your productivity and thereby the prosperity of the company or organization in which you work? If the answer is yes, but you don't know where to start, this article is for you!

PROFESSIONAL EFFECTIVENESS: WHAT IS IT?

For us, professional effectiveness is defined as the development of skills and knowledge throughout your career path. It is the sum of the investment in your know-how and your interpersonal skills.

And this is developed step by step!

PROBLEM AND IRRITANT: IT DRAINS

Like everyone else, you all experience a problem or an irritant that disturbs your daily life. These can affect your efficiency and productivity, create frustration and often have repercussions on an entire team. How do you react to a problem or irritant?

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, things can happen so quickly that you can fall into the trap of "criticizing for the sake of criticizing".

However, it is possible to get out of it at any time by switching to "solution mode". It is never too late to readjust your aim and change your perception of a delicate situation. That's when it's time to take charge and take action.

There is a way to intervene, to react to move towards professional efficiency, because for every problem, there is a solution.

TWO PROCESSES, TWO RESULTS

Let's compare two processes: the "criticize for the sake of criticizing" mode and the "solutions mode".

  • CRITICIZE TO CRITICIZE" MODE

In some cases, it seems easier to "criticize for the sake of criticizing" in the short term, because there is a false belief that it is easier and requires less energy. It is very human to think that the problem will go away on its own or be taken care of by a colleague.

Problem/irritant -> criticize between colleagues -> toxic environment -> frustration in the team

  • "SOLUTION MODE

The "solutions mode" is a state of mind (mindset) to develop in order to take a step towards professional efficiency. On a daily basis, your constructive mindset becomes your ally in dealing with problems and irritants. Stop using rose-colored glasses and realize that there is a solution to every problem.

Problem/irritant ->what is the cause ? -> situation analysis -> offer a solution

Out of curiosity, in which process do you most often recognize yourself? In "criticize to criticize mode" or in "solution mode"?
