Summarize
There are three levels of human behavior:
- visible behavior
- semi-conscious mind
- subconscious values
This book discusses the third level of leadership
BABE
The third level of behavior consists of the following four aspects:
- values
- assumptions
- beliefs
- expectation
Collectively called VABE, it guides what we think the world should be and what we think the world should be like.
VABE defines the nature of personality, which can be divided into the following types:
- Distinction: This is X --- I am Chinese
- Relevance type: X is good --- Chinese are the smartest and hardest-working race in the world
- Strategic: If A, there B --- If China is going to become independent and prosperous, then it must adhere to the leadership of the xx party
VABE has a very high cultural identity, and it is greatly influenced by regions and families. Because the formation of VABE requires long-term influence and accumulation. It's like stalactite, built up over time, some brittle, some strong
The Diamond Model of Leadership
Key Elements of Leadership: Leaders, tasks, followers, and organizations make up the diamond model of leadership.
Leadership includes four competencies:
- strategic thinking
- Communicate effectively with others
- Designing a supportive organization
- lead change
It can also be generalized with the VCM model:
- visioning: building a vision
- commitment gathering: stimulate investment
- monitoring and measuring: monitoring and measuring
The third level of leadership
There is a view that leaders can only lead the behavior of the first level, which was very popular in the past. One is because it is simple and rude, but in the age of mechanized information,
there are not so high requirements for people's subjective creativity. But now that the society has changed from a management society to an information society,
it is too simple and crude to simply guide behavior by results. There are different leadership methods for three different levels of behavior.
| level | method | result |
|---|---|---|
| level one | command, direct, threaten, motivate, reward | Short-term compliance, potential sabotage |
| Second floor | Argument, Interpretation, Data Citation, Participation | short-term obedience, reluctance to agree |
| BABE | Build vision, define goals, accept, open, emotional statement | put in |
Especially for fields that rely more on intelligence and innovation, consensus and recognition on vision and goals can stimulate more motivation.
Develop good habits
Humans are creatures governed by habit.
| behavioral hierarchy | Percentage of habit-driven manager training |
|---|---|
| visible behavior | 75% |
| conscious thought | 85% |
| VABE | 95% |
Human behavior and habits are the result of the combined effect of genes + different environments and cultures.
VABE builds the way we behave:
- way of speaking
- communication habits
- habit of thinking
- standard of right and wrong
Then being able to "beyond" our genes and VABE is the standard of maturity, adulthood or wisdom, the beginning of self-leadership
How to be a great third-level leader
First learn some principles and methodology
Multiple IQ Model
We evaluate whether a person is smart or not. Usually, the evaluation is his IQ, but this is not accurate. A person's IQ is divided into the following categories:
- Linguistic intelligence
- Mathematics - Logical Intelligence
- spatial intelligence
- sports intelligence
- musical intelligence
- interpersonal intelligence
- introspective intelligence
We usually refer to IQ as 1 and 2, and EQ as 6 and 7.
Emotional intelligence plays a huge part in personal success. A very important manifestation of high emotional intelligence is not to give in to your emotions.
The premise of high emotional intelligence is to identify yourself clearly. So where do emotions come from?
There are two areas of the brain that control emotions: the amygdala and the neocortex.
The amygdala usually evolved before the new brain and controls unconscious responses. If you see a snake, you are immediately afraid, bypassing the entire circuit of the brain,
so that the individual can react the fastest. And the neocortex processes interesting thoughts. Research has shown that if the amygdala is damaged, people's decision-making is surprisingly poor because it cannot learn emotions. Only those with a strong connection between the amygdala and the cerebral cortex were more
interchangeable model
To gain the other party's approval, there must be a clear and unambiguous exchange model:
- Assume others are allies who can help you accomplish your goals
- Clear goals, know what you want
- Carefully evaluate the world of others, understanding their concerns, priorities, and current needs
- Evaluate your resources to determine what to offer them
- Diagnose whether this series of exchanges is supported
- Choose an exchange base until the relationship starts to ease for both parties
The core content of the entire model is exchange, and exchange currencies are as follows:
- Incentive based currency
- currency associated with the task
- currency associated with the position
- relationship-based currency
- currency related to individuals
To sum it up, always pay attention to what you want? What can I offer you?
Then you need to practice your own abilities
A great manager must control his clarity, use the rational emotional behavior model, and focus on tasks and processes.
