Power of Edifying others
(Emotional Management for Personal & Professional Growth Series)
As we discuss the topic of "People Skill at the workplace," let us discuss some insights on improving people's skill management techniques.
For the last few weeks, we have discussed some of the cause and effect of human emotions like pain vs. pleasure, recognizing, appreciation, people's reasons for their actions, beliefs behind the behavior, etc.
Now let us discuss some of the proven processes to apply when dealing with people. One such process is “EDIFYING.”
The meaning of Edifying is to build.
“If you edify a person for some qualities,” means you build a person for those qualities. You may be building the quality himself/herself and the minds of other people as well.
Edify a person, to others and themselves, even for the things you wish they would do. They'll soon begin to "believe in the qualities " and start adopting the traits and behaviors for which they are being edified.
For example,
Your friend praised you and said, “you are very punctual for every occasion and straightforward in expressing your views.” This expression is something your friend edifies you (build) for those positive qualities.
Eventually, you behave up to, at least to friend's expectation of being punctual and straightforward as much as possible. Indirectly you strive to be consistent on those behaviors for which you have been edified.
It happened to me also in my school days, even though I did not know the meaning of edifying. Whenever i was promoted to the next class, the class teacher informed the next standard class teacher that i was a brilliant student. This used to happen every year and to maintain that “Build-up”! i was striving hard to be a “ so-called" brilliant student in academics ( fortunately or unfortunately, i have never been excelling other than academics.I wish someone edified for other talents
).
You can relate in your life that someone introduced you to the third person with some buildup; subsequently, the third person might have treated you according to what he was briefed.
That is the power of edifying as it emerges from the deep emotion of human beings that we want to be notable and recognized for something. We strive to meet the expectation.
In a professional environment, this is one of the powerful processes every leader can adopt by identifying positive qualities in each people and making the person aware of (as 1-1 basis) or in front of others. That edifying process will make the person or make others expect the behavior from the person.
When you expand this concept, you can edify your team and your industry as well. Because what you expect comes to you.
