Your employees don't fear you do

According to Professor and Tania · Mellon Professor Lee · Thompson (see figure) of the results of the study show that this is not the case. The two men is the don't hate me because I'm beautiful: threat assessment of the statistical test to beautify themselves, "a book by the author.

In four of the MBA students on different scenarios of the experiment, the professors found, when it comes to assessing our impact other people, most of us suffering to lead us to hide potentially valuable criticism this great fantasy. On the other hand? we imagine yourself not easily affected by other people's talent and quality of real threat of damage.

For example, in the first experiment, the students were placed in the "ego threat" or "self threatened" environment. The first group to read a copy of the request they carefully consider their interpersonal relationships in their threats and jealous of their skills and qualifications of the person's statement. The second group was instructed to consider their relationships so that they feel threatened and jealous. After that, the two groups were asked to describe them and each class of people strategy. The first group of people to not give them that will cause a threat to human suffering caused harm to themselves simplistic. The second group of participants on the contrary, in response to perceived threats, they themselves should be giving yourself more testimonials.

These strategies have a negative influence of management, Thompson said. The "shallow if I will own, I might conceal, not provide may help team of insight," she said. "In order to learn, we must be able to face each other." Despite the positive self delusion helps troubled away from frustration, but Thompson says, we need to give people more praise. "Take some time to think about other people how great," she said. You may only see a greasy neglect of brilliant solution.
