Creative Destruction: Scripts
Do you ever get a sense of deja vu?
You might get a sense that when ever this happens to me - I do this.
This is a script. You probably repeat scripts over and over again whenever you meet similar situations that prompt a similar response.
For instance a very "british" response to poor service in a restaurant is to become internally angry, complain to your partner and friends, and then do nothing and accept the situation.
This situation - and if you are guilty of the above action - is a script.
Falling into a script stops you evaluating situations and solving problems properly. They may also be quite stressful.
If a person prompts a script may be a couple of words spoken to you, a look, body language, tone or pitch of voice, or possibly how someone dresses.
If you are prone to a particular script there should be a solution or a process that you can go through to improve your own potential performance. Part of the difficulty is identifying your script.
How might you do that?
