When you are depressed your thoughts are quite different from when you are happy, if you feel creative and are happy will have a different outcome generating ideas than you are not. Nothing is more harmful to a positive creative attitude than fear, uncertainties and doubts (FUDS), yet people and companies allows FUDS to control their lives.
If we want to have a positive and creative environment we need to address the fears, uncertainties and doubts. People needs consistency, they need to know that they can trust their ability and have the information needed to make the right decisions and not think about all the problems that can arise on the way because they always know that there will be changes to the worse and decisions will be taken outside their control. It’s like the difference walking in a secure or a bad neighbourhood, if we constantly need to look over our shoulders and feel fear – we will only think of what could happen and the risk of it happening, we see villains everywhere, instead of thinking of how we would spend the weekend or surprise our spouse.
