As a human being I have a physical boundary to the outside world. My contact with the environment is mediated by my senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, sound, feelings) and the sense I make of these through my beliefs, values and self-concept – my ‘sense of self’. I can choose to be in contact or out of contact with others. I can include or exclude myself. I can move towards people, away from them or against them. I can be more or less open with other people in how I communicate. I can try to control, be equal or be submissive. My face can be fixed or relaxed. I can be rigid, flexible or somewhere in between. What balance I strike in my contact with others will be based on several factors including those which I now describe. My physical heritage My physical heritage is the inherited genetic makeup and the physical disposition I am born with. This will influence my level of physical and psychological comfort or discomfort and therefore the choices I make. Genetics and physical disposition are outside of the scope of this book, although it is important to recognise their influence on our psychological makeup. My focus is on the social and psychological domains and the behaviour of people to explain silo working and how to improve the quality of relationships people have. You cannot change the spots on a leopard, but you can influence how it behaves! Sharing Widget |
