Stop for a moment to reflect. Do you think you spend your mental energy wisely?

I think the manufacturing industry has it backwards.

1. Having – Results: KPIs are at the forefront of everything, while people talk more about each other than to each other.
2. Doing – Working to get results can become difficult if you give your power away to your emotional responses.
3. Being – Emotions such as hopelessness, helplessness, anger, and fear have become an unfortunate norm in many manufacturing work environments.

That’s how it should be:

1. Being – Intention matters. It matters a lot. How do you want to be as an individual to achieve your personal and professional goals? For example: focused, respectful, disciplined, positive, and organized.
2. Doing – Working on your tasks becomes so much easier if you treat each other well and with respect. It makes for a healthy and productive work environment.
3. Having – Results will come if you focus on being before you get into doing. If you understand that your thought process is responsible for your outcomes, it will be so much easier to achieve the desired results.

Would you like to see more positive results in your life? If the answer is “yes,” you have to make a conscious effort to stop negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones.

Why?

If you…

• give your attention to the negative, you will start thinking negatively.
• think negatively, you will feel bad.
• feel bad, you won’t be productive.
• lose your productivity, you will feel stressed and fearful.
• feel stressed and fearful, your mental and physical health will be affected.

It’s a given that our productivity drops if we spend most of our days in emotional states such as anxiety, frustration, or anger. A huge amount of energy is wasted at all levels in our organizations because of the inability to regulate thoughts and emotions.

What do YOU give your attention to?

The majority of people seem to spend far more time talking about what they don’t want, don’t have, and don’t like.That’s what they focus on all day, every day, week after week, month after month, and year after year.

Far fewer people focus on the direction they want to go, what they want to see, and what they want to have. They consciously look for the good in every situation and in every person.

Just a few weeks ago, I facilitated an exercise in which people had to explain what a world-class organization looks like. Would you be surprised to learn that most employees had absolutely no idea how they could contribute to making their organization world-class? For the most part, they didn’t even know what world-class meant.

How would YOU answer the following questions?

1. What needs to happen to make the organization you work for world-class?
2. Do you speak about what others should do, or do you take ownership and responsibility for your own actions?
3. What kind of person will you have to become to work for a world-class organization?
4. What new skills will you have to learn?
5. How will you grow as a person?

Be intentional with your thoughts, spend your mental energy wisely, and watch the magic unfold.
