Fear of change, fear of failure or fear of loosing a job can immobilize us; reduce productivity, innovation and the quality of our relationships. Fear is part of life but it can be managed in the workplace to reduce its impact. Here is fuel for thought:
· Seek information and clarity from credible sources to reduce uncertainty
· Examine fears from other’s perspective to understand the emotional interplay
· Encourage dialogue to help reflect and deflect issues
· Identify root causes of fear with daily journaling
· Find strength by establishing trusting relationships
· Promote confidentiality but minimize secrecy
· Resist filling information gaps with speculations
· Practice a healthy lifestyle - faithfully
· Value feedback and practice laughter
· Help others manage their fear and learn from it
· Empower people to find solutions to bring control and comfort
I found several of these to be quite powerful.
