As work complexity grows, people become anxious, and they might realize they are missing the right skills, their world might change, resistance increases, morale declines.

Look at the relation of complexity and morale as 2 strands of DNA (Daily Needed Actions). The work strand tracks the complexity of work, while the people strand monitors the morale and productivity of organizations and individuals. Progress or delay in one causes the acceleration or slow-down of the other.

Watching the video above - how do you judge and manage people’s morale while they work?

Companies and organizations are complex systems—they operate beyond organizational charts. There is more to the company environment than technology, logic, and work; the interaction of people’s values, relationships, emotions, and ambitions is critical, yet it is often an underestimated factor.

Why are we so bad at judging people's morale during intricate work and change?

  1. We rely too much on the assumption that people are self-motivated - Only 2.5% are.

  2. We generally assume that people are happy to change their habits - The opposite is true.

  3. We believe that when people get silent, they have accepted change - No! They usually get disengaged.

All the points mentioned hinder a company’s ability to adapt quickly—a reason why change and transformation are so hard and should focus more on people than on technology.
