Setting vision and goals for 2023!

What drives our behaviours and impacts on our results?
As we walk through our daily personal and professional experiences, we take actions and show certain behaviours, that have a direct or indirect impact on our immediate or long-term results and achievements.
Do we know what triggers certain reactions and behaviours in us and the people around us?
Here is the article:
While working as an Internal Auditor in various international organisations, I had the great opportunity to be in contact with many different people with various cultural backgrounds. Although I might have audited the same IT processes across Europe, when presented with the audit results and improvement points my auditees reacted differently, which maybe is no surprise as we are all different human beings; however at times I was left wondering if the difference in behaviours was down to the country I was in and its cultural context, the teams, my words, their perceptions?
Of course, it was all the above and more. In the last years I took a deeper look into what impacts on our results, and the first obvious answer was our behaviours and the actions we take or do not take. Great, and now what impacts those behaviours?
The answer here is much more complex, and this short article does not aim to explain it all, but only to raise awareness on some of the important aspects which is worth considering when we want to change our behaviours so that we transform our results.
All the above directly impact on how we choose to behave. However, these elements are the less obvious and less known to the outside world, and at times even to ourselves; as we might not be aware of what really drives our behaviours, why do we make certain decisions and not others.
If we want to change our results, we often think about changing habits, or behaviours; which is only the top of the iceberg; we rarely think about what drives behaviours, the elements under the surface.
Behaviours and results are what I call the top of the elevate impact iceberg, and all the rest is beneath water (like in the picture above); and as always with every iceberg, to see the base and heavy part we need to dig deeper. We need to:
We will never want to change everything under the surface, because it is part of our diverse identity, which makes us the unique individuals we are, with our unique qualities and perspectives. We only want to challenge and change those elements that do not serve us well, and do not allow us to make the best behaviours’ choices that lead us to achieve the results we want.
