Human Potential Optimization – A Thought
Posted on | July 29, 2012 | No Comments
As a specialist in Adult Behaviors in Working Groups, my particular focus is: what has occurred in the first five years of the individual’s life. Many have said that the professional group is merely a replacement for the playground of our childhoods with bigger kids, greater emotional and physical defenses, and fears. 35 years of professional experience in many fields has taught me to be more understanding of the unmet needs and fears of the young child still very much residing in the heart and mind of the adults gathered around. My life’s work has borne fruit in the near completion of a Doctoral PhD in Organizational Systems and Psychology of Adult/Child development issues. While I scratched my head and pondered the unusual behavior I encountered in business, my efforts directed me to study seemingly erratic and stubborn behaviors. What was at the heart of arrogance, isolation, greed, and empathy? This is not new research and I will not claim to have created anything new. I am however committed to the cause spearheaded by so many in early childhood development. My leap and contribution is the effects that remain as these children grow to be citizens of the world and society. How do they react? What have they carried in their hearts even when they cannot remember the first two years of their life? One can say that through observation of a person's monologue on any subject, a trained observer can deduce the environment of this adult’s infancy. It’s possible and quite reliable. What is the value of such study? For organizations, it is achieving optimal results in collaboration with many adults with unmet childhood needs. It is raising the success potential by illuminating the causes of pullback, non-contribution, and territoriality in professional systems. The problem individual as well as the high performer is a quilt of life’s experiences laid on the muslin backing that is infant development. By understanding what makes humans act as they do, an organization increases its chances of success and cooperation. For the individual, he or she will come to know how and when healthy boundaries are important and whether the concern is current or built into our mindset at a very early age. The infant who screams in vain for its mother or anyone to hold it, comfort it, and pick it up may become the adult who is grasping, fearful, and malicious. It’s proven in the research. So why do we cut programs for infants and toddlers or their mothers? Why do we disparage teachers who are expected to compensate for poor post-natal practices? Criminal acts, isolation, unhealthy emotions, and lack of empathy stem from these negligence’s at a very important time in our development.
