Team Psychological Safety is crucial, which refers to a climate where team members feel free to speak up, acknowledging challenges as learning experiences and modeling curiosity.

Module 3: What Makes Individuals Thrive? Motivation and Vision

Self-determination theory highlights the needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence as crucial for motivation.
A continuum of motivation exists from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation, with external regulation, introjected motivation, identification, integration and intrinsic motivation being different stages.
Vision, as a communication of an inspiring future for a group, plays a role in guiding and motivating individuals towards goals.

Supporting Autonomy

Empathy and understanding individual motivation are key to supporting autonomy.
Providing choice, explanations, and avoiding controlling language are important aspects of supporting autonomy.

Supporting Competence

Provide supportive and informative feedback, praising initiatives and accomplishments over comparing to others, to nurture a sense of competence.

Supporting Relatedness

Showing care, concern, and acknowledging struggles along the path to growth in a group helps create a warm and supportive environment.

Vision vs. Goals

Vision communicates a compelling future aspiration, whereas goals are concrete objectives to achieve that vision.
Vision inspires, while goals guide the steps towards the vision.

Neuroscience Perspective (NEA/PEA)

The Neuroscience perspective suggests that a positive emotional attractor (PEA) state (positive emotions) is ideal for vision-setting and change processes, while negative emotional attractor (NEA) states (negative emotions) may hinder this.
It highlights the importance of positive emotional states for effective vision and change management.
