DeLuLu ELI5 – Learning to Navigate Organizational Dysfunction for GenZ-MillenialsOrganizational Dysfunction and Survival
Organizations have not gotten any more sane or easy to deal with. The level of dysfunctional behavior is reaching ever higher despite the end of a world wide pandemic. Finding the right fit based on values, roles, and opportunities is not just a challenge, it is almost impossible to decipher what is going on inside any major corporation until months after being hired.
So what does DeLuLu and ELI5 mean? Well, Delulu is just another way of saying impulsive – crazy or dysfunctional. And ELI5 is an acronym for Explain Like I’m 5 years old. Industrial – Organizational Psychology can be overly academic with too much theory and not enough in the trench stench or on the ground easy to use tools. That stops here.
challenge
The biggest challenge to every person entering the workplace is toxic culture, toxic behaviors, and toxic bosses. When you combine those with a lack of self-clarity, where your goals are not well defined and you add an inability to understand your own or others emotional states is it any wonder work seems dismal.
- Improve self-clarity concept:
First, discover what your traits, interests, values, beliefs, and goals are. That is five easy quizzes. And then you put them together and ask do these line up? And does my work tasks get me where I need to go to developing a portfolio of achievements that make sense to those attributes or characteristics.
- Determine the right career arch:
Every life has an arch, that arch has various life-stages, those stages are going to leave a legacy. Start with the legacy. What does your portfolio of completed projects look like in 10 years? Awards? Certifications? Letters of recognition? Books? Speaking engagements? Dream big! Really big, like Moonshot big. Start at the legacy and then walk back to where you are now. Understanding of course of the bumps and the dips in health, wealth, and connected happiness may bring you.
- Optimize behavioral repertoire:
You can’t change anyone but yourself. So you must begin with you. Developing emotional intelligence, body signals, and how those relate to impressions will help you greatly in understanding how to navigate even the wackiest organizations.
solution
The solution is my profit off dysfunction bootcamps or my Moonshots, Missions, Marshmallows and Mindset handbook or online courses.
But here is a brief breakdown. First we unlearn all the pop-psychology, internet memes, and pseudo-life-coaching garbage that is floating all around you. Then we assess your traits, interests, values and ethical belief systems. From there we develop your big dreams or your LOONIES – Ludicrous, Obviously Objective, Nevertheless Insane, Event Status. Something within the laws of physics and personal possibility but also something that might take years to train or complete. That alignment of self to a Moonshot changes the equation on motivation and distraction.
results
Nothing can stop someone with a powerful dream. Nothing can get in their way. And no one can bother you. Why? The reptile brain knows why. Because once you engage with a dream that is so powerful that it engages not just the mind but the body, the instincts, and the drives to survive. All various lifestyle calculus goes out the window. The aim is to have Moonshot = Life. There is no alternative.
Of course there are more than the three steps above. It takes some effort and time to develop emotional intelligent coping skills, breakdown moonshots into missions and stretches, and it takes practice testing out behaviors in real world situations to elegantly and with panache avoid others that don’t have your drive and tenacity.
But if you do learn to use your reptile brain, the effort shows:
- Reduced non-productive dysfunctional behaviors by 43%
- Decreased impulsive reactions by 50%
- Lowered the risk of missteps to career progression by 95%
- Increased resilience and flexibility by 30%
