Neuroscience and Psychology | How They Work Together
A brief history of neuroscience and psychology The disciplines of neuroscience and psychology have a long and intertwined history. Early psychological scientists were interested in understanding the relationship between the brain and behaviour. But it was not until the late 19th century that neuroscience began to emerge as its own distinct field. During this time, scientists like Carl Wernicke and Franz Gall were beginning to map out the specific areas of [...]
Team Motivation and Communication: How Leaders Influence Both
Communication and motivation are closely connected in the workplace. What leaders communicate, how they communicate and what they choose not to communicate can all influence how people understand their work, experience their organisation and decide where to invest their effort. Good communication does not automatically create motivation. People are motivated by different things, and motivation is influenced by factors such as autonomy, recognition, growth, purpose, relationships and reward. However, communication can [...]
Internal Recruitment and Succession Planning: Building a Stronger Talent Pipeline
What Is Internal Succession Planning? Internal succession planning is the deliberate process of identifying, developing and preparing people within an organisation who may be able to take on business critical or more senior roles in the future. It is related to internal recruitment, but it is not the same thing. Internal recruitment usually begins when there is a role to fill. Succession planning begins earlier. It asks which roles are critical [...]

Case Study: Building Team Resilience, Motivation and Collaboration Through Change
Organisational change places pressure on individuals and teams in different ways. People may be dealing with the same external challenge while experiencing it very differently. Some become more determined, some more cautious, some seek greater connection and others need more autonomy. For leaders, understanding those differences can make it easier to support people, maintain effective working relationships and respond constructively as circumstances change. This case study follows Waterfield across approximately 14 [...]
Persistent and Consistent: Why You Need Both at Work | flowprofiler®
Persistence and consistency are closely related, but they are not the same thing. Persistence is the ability to keep working towards an objective despite difficulty, delay or setbacks. Consistency is the ability to keep showing up and applying effort or behaviour reliably over time. You can therefore be persistent without being particularly consistent, perhaps working intensely when motivated but stopping and starting along the way. You can also be consistent without [...]
What drives behaviour in the workplace?
Why do people sometimes behave very differently at work, even when they have similar skills, experience or responsibilities? And why can the same person behave differently from one situation to another? Workplace behaviour is rarely driven by one thing. It emerges from an interaction between the person, what they are trying to achieve, how they are feeling, the people around them and the environment in which they are working. That is [...]
Leaders: What Motivates Your People?
People are not motivated by exactly the same things. The opportunity that energises one employee may leave another indifferent. Public recognition may encourage one person while making somebody else uncomfortable. Greater autonomy may motivate one employee, while another may value collaboration, development or a clearer connection to purpose. This creates an important challenge for leaders. You cannot assume that what motivates you will motivate the people you lead. And you cannot rely [...]
The role of EQ in resilience
The role of EQ in resilience Emotional intelligence and resilience are closely related in the workplace, but they are not the same thing. Emotional intelligence is concerned with how effectively we recognise and understand emotions, regulate our responses and interact with other people. Resilience is concerned with how effectively we respond, adapt and continue functioning when we encounter pressure, uncertainty, setbacks or challenge. The two can work together. For example, a [...]
