Applying Zone of Control Thinking According to research done by Stephen Covey, most of us have no control over 50% of what happens in the workplace, some influence over 35%, and a lot of control over about 15%. This means that we need to think about our circumstances and recognize where we have control and influence, and where we don t. We do much better when we focus our efforts on positive change where we have control and influence. -- Patricia Fisher
Zone of Control 15% have control What you have control over... 50% no control & no influence 35% some influence
Strategies we use when dealing with circumstances outside of our control We can accept it We can change it We can change the way that we deal with it We can escape from it
Things you find worthwhile.... Triads: please choose a recorder, reporter, time keeper When you think about your workday, what things do you do that you enjoy or find worthwhile? Record the answers in the left hand column Next, ask: Where do they fit in terms of your zone of control? Tick the appropriate column (some may be seen as falling in more than one column)
Coming back together as a whole group... Share Out Novel Ideas Only
Now on your own... Step 1 When you think about your workday, what things do you find troublesome?
On your own continued... Step 2 Rank each concern you recorded on a scale from 1-5 where a 1 is relatively minor and a 5 is very troubling.
On your own continued Step 3 Choose a priority item from each of the three categories (full control, influence, no control) to reflect and journal about.
Journal Reflection Questions 1. For the concerns you have control over, what would be the most helpful and positive strategies you could use? 2. For the concerns that you have some influence over, what would be the most helpful and positive strategies you could use? 3. For the concerns that you have no control over, what would be the most helpful and positive strategies you could use? (Remember that these will typically fall inside either acceptance, changing the way we deal with it or escaping from it).
How do we support one another? The amount and quality of social support and companionship that a worker receives is an important predictor of health and well-being and provides a critical buffer against daily work stresses. FORMAL: INFORMAL:
Changes -in the work & in us There have been many profound changes in the workplace and society at large over the past 25 years -these have combined to place a whole new set of pressures and stresses on individuals, families, workplace and social institutions.
