- Nina Schwarting: What can you do if new structures make everything chaotic? For you as well as for your team. We all it. We live in a working world where is something new A new structure, new roles, new responsibilities, new technologies, you name it. Something new For leadership, this often means unclear expectations. unclear decision-making paths and, above all, more tuning. What many of us do consider in these moments is what our neurobiology does. Yes, the work we in our work world primarily for the people who knowledge workers is now cognitively shaped, but Nevertheless, body plays a huge role in even if we managed to the body from many places and not pay Our body, and that's mean, our nervous system, to these changes on outside that feel very chaotic, very, very strongly, because these changes are unpredictable. The nervous system simply doesn't what's going on. It tries old patterns, how you reacted but these patterns and quickly into an alarm state, which is very difficult to handle for yourself, because you're reacting and don't the strategic outlook, but also for the team, where this insecurity can lead to things starting to to the feeling. until nothing is done and it to a shutdown. There are many things you as a force of when you are with your nervous system. What you want to in these situations is to create control again. You want to security quickly. I you tiny exercise that very easy and immediately your nervous system. All you need is a piece of and a pen. I recommend you this exercise with paper and pen because the brain can in completely different way. If you your paper or you can three post-its, it doesn't then I three notes for you. So, once in three sections or three post-its, I have three notes for you. And first letter you can on the side is CONTROLLE. here you can really everything you can of now, whatever you in the current situation, despite change, despite chaos on outside. So really just hit Also really don't claim to complete or anything that, just start things down. In the second column, or if you have posted it, on the second post, you write all the things you can So here, overwrite influence. What can you influence? There are many things on outside, but are also many things like your communication, your attitude, etc. So really think about which influence you in this quite chaotic situation that you are currently experiencing. And last least, the third column on your paper or for your third post, just down the heading, no influence. And there you can everything where you no influence in this current chaotic situation. This exercise takes two minutes. You can it in three minutes. It shouldn't out of focus now. The goal of this exercise is simply that you all current topics in these three buckets, these three spaces for you. Why? Because it neurobiologically. Your nervous system scans all time, as already mentioned. And if it that on the sheet paper, especially when to control and influence, more points than, for example, when to influence. no influence, so everything that right, then your nervous system will a sense of control over this situation. And in this case, your nervous system can also ensure that the alarm mode, i.e. the amygdala, your alarm center in the brain, is regulated again. Because the brain now situation as a tangible interpreted simply because it suddenly no longer sees what is chaotic and what you no influence on, but because it can in the first two spaces what it can what it can An incredibly simple exercise that has the goal of your nervous system in these moments so that you can of this alarm mode and rationally and clearly and strategically. Cool exercise, can wonderfully with the team. I would recommend you this exercise every now and then. It helps to down the thoughts.
