Procrastination is expanding An important moment when it comes to procrastination is procrastination is expanding. If we start procrastinating one activity, then later we start procrastinating another, third, tenth, twentieth. And such a self-replicating phenomenon is obtained. This is very dangerous. Among the more interesting things scientists and researchers say is that people who tend to procrastinate have other behavioral characteristics that prevent them from working, preventing them from performing actions, and preventing them from even being in a group of people. For example, one such sign is the beginning of recurring interpersonal conflicts. This is natural, because if someone postpones something, does not do it in a chain reaction for others, it can hinder work and perform their functions. Another very important moment - the leader tends to procrastinate and starts being late for meetings. How do we rate it? Various. We appreciate that he is stressed, that he is distracted. People are very quick to attach various labels, which are not the best and certainly do not increase productivity. Procrastination mechanism Also, if the manager tends to procrastinate, it will be very difficult for him to make decisions in other activities, in other areas, because such a mechanism is triggered, if it is difficult, if it is worrying, then this whole matter should be avoided. And then the brain catches up very quickly, here to avoid, and here to avoid, and here to avoid, and here to avoid, and the word "avoid" also appears in decision-making. Procrastinators actually live in an environment of greater chaos. They create that chaos themselves. Imagine a leader who creates chaos. There is chaos at his place and on the table and there is chaos in the meeting, and the running of thoughts is chaotic and everyone is to blame, there are problems with time planning. All these things have very sad long-term consequences. Work done is delayed, reports are delayed. It's a really interesting thing, I've been talking to managers about it and I've asked them what do you feel like you're procrastinating the most or your colleagues are procrastinating. This is not a study, just a simple conversation. They very nicely replied that the preparation of the last day's reports if needed. Especially those that are complex and difficult. They then find the reasons why this happened is because someone from the staff didn't bring some paper. We always find excuses. Employee demotivation Another point is that daily feedback to employees is delayed. This is already here for me, as a staff person, it resonated very strongly. In addition, a part imagines that if the employees took a talk about the week's work results and the manager suddenly says, you know, someone called me somewhere, we'll talk next week. This is extremely demotivating. If we were to go back to the generations, to the young generation, which really wants to receive that feedback here and now, it demotivates over time. What demotivation and unmotivated activity do, one could probably go on endlessly. The Procrastination Workshop Another very important point is that procrastinators often return to their professional activities but completely postpone their managerial activities. If he was a worker in a workshop and he became the head of the workshop, he is quite happy to go and do some worker's work, but he does not do the work of the manager at all. The long-term consequences are great because they accumulate. It would be very easy here if I put it off and I can come back after a month, but I put off one thing today, another thing tomorrow, a third. After all, we have mirror neurons in the brain, here are things related to neuroplasticity and neurology. Irm es we learn from each other. So what does it mean to be a leader who procrastinates? They also unconsciously teach team members to procrastinate. Such a workshop of delaying, delaying departments, delaying organization is formed. It affects the relationship with customers, it affects the mutual microclimate, it affects a lot of things. And of course, I come back again as psychology to the manager himself, responding to his own personality, his own mental health and other things.
