COURAGE FOR THE FUTURE FOR INNER STRENGTH
Skills quickly become a thing of the past. Knowledge decays rapidly. Networks among colleagues and friends emerge and fade. What remains for you? You and your courage for the future. Of course, not only the company benefits when you enhance your courage for the future, but also your partner. Because it has a positive impact on your personal life as well. But you benefit the most from this investment. It pays off in four accounts.
COURAGE FOR THE FUTURE - A 4-FOLD INVESTMENT
1. Confidence - The conviction that there are many paths to the goal and that you will find them. 2. Resilience - The ability to quickly recover when you were on the wrong track. 3. Optimism - Belief in success and the realistic reasons for that belief. 4. Self-efficacy - The belief in possessing the skills to navigate the paths.
COURAGE FOR THE FUTURE IS PROVEN
It is crucial to invest in all four dimensions. If a person can consider various paths to the goal from the beginning (confidence), they can more easily recover from a dead-end path (resilience) while maintaining their optimistic attitude towards achieving the goal (optimism). The resources interact with each other. They reinforce each other. This is what makes them so powerful in combination. By 2011, there were already more than 50 independent studies with over 12,000 participants. What do they show? Increased courage for the future has an impact on:
- psychological well-being - job satisfaction - competency growth - positive behavior in the company
COURAGE FOR THE FUTURE MAKES CENTS
Courage for the future is THE investment in the inner strength of your employees. And it is trainable. Our own studies prove it: People with trained courage for the future increase their innovation behavior by up to 73%, and their readiness for change by almost 30%.
