What causes the striking similarity in human behaviour in so many organizations? Why does a bank teller ignore customers waiting in line, choosing to concentrate on clerical tasks? Why do some employees develop a sense of entitlement, expecting managers to make them happy? Why does an executive feel compelled to put a positive spin on a negative situation?

Dr. Thomas Tavares reveals how jobs, the universal building blocks of organizations, generate three psychological factors – focus, intensity, and skew. Together, they create a powerful mind field that leads to short-term thinking, weak internal communication, low levels of innovation and teamwork, and lack of coaching. This prevents companies from achieving the flexibility and response times required to keep pace with high speed change. While you cannot slow the pace of change, you do have control over the psychological environment of your organization. The Mind Field will give you the tools you need to change behaviour throughout your company and boost the speed and flexibility needed to keep pace with change.
