The human brain is a social organ. Developmental
psychology tells us that our minds only develop in relationship to other
minds. Our minds are fields that constantly interact with each
other to create larger social fields.
Social connection is necessary for survival...as
well as for learning and development. Given our need for connection, our
brains experience the workplace as a social system, a system of relations.
We find that we have the
same needs at work for belonging, acceptance and inclusion as we do in the rest
of our lives. The better organizations do at creating environments where we can
form healthy connections, the better they will be able to tap the collective
strengths and intelligence.
Q: What might support organizational
capacity to help us develop our minds together?
