Reality TVM - What is it?

It’s human nature that we wish to be heard. Our natural born instinct is to contribute. We naturally seek affirmation that we are of value. Quite often in the work place when a Manager seeks to display those traits, it comes at the cost of someone else being quashed.

When you are a Manager, how do you balance the needs or the organisation with those of your direct reports? And when do your needs get a look in: Reality TVM.


Reality TVM

Imagine a workplace where your every move is recorded, every critical conversation you have with your team is taken into the editing room and sensationalised for Reality TV Management... a live channel displayed to the world that has the power to vote you off.

How would this change your day to day conversations? When you have to sit back and watch your actions under the bright lights, would you back yourself and be proud of how you handled it?


Reality TVM is a coaching strategy that breeds respect in the workplace, evicting short term gains for the greater good. You look after those you lead first. You balance the company needs second because you have trust in your staff and their sense of purpose and mastery. Your prosperity and affirmation naturally follows as those in your care support you with conviction.

You're willing to innovate and take risks. You're willing to take responsibility. You're willing to make tough decisions. You're willing to communicate. You're willing to place trust in your staff and offer them autonomy. You aren't the "Officer" and they aren't the "grunts"... they are your team, they are skilled, they are great at what they do. You personally don't always know what's best, but as a team you do!

Here’s a few good “c” words: If you’d like a creative culture of collaboration... contact us today...

Your view of your manager. Which works best for you?

The Thrill of the Fall We've all been there, the feeling that the world is crashing in around you, things just aren't going right. Maybe it's a major 'tabloid worthy' mistake you've made or a series of gut wrenching events that have you feeling anything but happy. You've taken a fall. It's in this state that we feel most vulnerable and unsure of ourselves... but it's also a wonderful opportunity!

As Leaders how can we better understand a fall and more importantly, how can we learn to harness its power? In this article we're not going to give you some 'rah rah' speech... we are going to examine the body's response to a fall, it's flight or fight response and how we can harness this to overcome adversity.
Perpetual Motion of Change Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion, the extra energy an object possesses due to it's motion, the force that keeps an object moving until something get's in it's way. It is defined as: "the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its current velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes."

Negative force of the same or higher magnitude is required to reduce that energy and therefore the object's velocity. The theory doesn't just apply in science, but even more so in Change Management, whether it's an individual, a team or an entire organisation.
