The greater a person's belief in their own power to influence an outcome the more likely they are to succeed with a new challenge. The following four step process can help you develop someone else's self-efficacy: • Build confidence- Question any belief they might have that is limiting their performance. For example, if an employee thinks they aren't experienced enough to manage a project you can remind them of their unique strengths and capabilities. • Promote modeling- Have inexperienced employees watch other colleagues with similar skills perform more advanced tasks so they too can develop those positive, "can-do" beliefs. • Evaluate to motivate- Rewards, recognition and positive feedback are key to helping your employees feel more competent, motivated and open to growth. Negative feedback can devastate those with low self-esteem, as they almost always take it personally. • Optimize the environment- Create a vibrant, energetic, stress- free workplace that encourages your staff to get the nutrition, exercise, and rest they need so they can perform their best. INCREASING THEIR SELF-ESTEEM Self-esteem is the approval we have of ourselves and the extent to which we see ourselves as capable, significant, successful, and worthy. It is the most essential of the CSE domains since workers with low self-esteem are often unproductive because they are indecisive, fear making mistakes and strive for perfection which leads to frustration when it isn't attained. Generally they are highly irritable and pessimistic, and can drain the positive, enthusiastic energy of their more self-assured colleagues. Predictably, those with low self-esteem are more likely to be unsatisfied with their jobs, performing them considerably worse than those with higher self-esteem. To boost the self-esteem of your employees: • Recognize and celebrate their successes and accomplishments as much as possible. • Express your gratitude and appreciation to them for the contribution and difference they keep making. • Be a model of kindness and compassion to others, especially those with lower self-esteem.
