Back2Better Webinar: From Envy to Inspiration with Kriti Jain

 

Pressure situations can quickly create a negative mindset. Our ‘animal’ brain begins to perceive others as a threat to our grandiose self-centered existence. We get into a survival mode which means we relish in the misfortunes of others and indulge in destructive competition. Instead of motivating ourselves to be better, we sabotage our ‘rivals’.  That powerful emotion is envy.

In this interactive session, Professor Kriti Jain, an expert on leadership and decision-making in the workplace, will share insights on:

  • Disruptive consequences of envy for individuals and teams.
  • Steps one can take to convert envy into a positive motivational force.
  • Lessons for leaders on how to spot and navigate this complex emotion within their teams.

Envy doesn’t have to be destructive. It signals an opportunity, an invitation to feel a sense of admiration towards those successful others and build an inspiration-driven culture.

Professor Kriti Jain is an award-winning management expert and works with global business leaders on topics of leadership, decision-making, and organizational culture. Her research and teaching focuses on why people think, decide, and behave the way they do and how leaders can create meaningful human-centric workplaces.
