Crucial Dimensions

Why do some changes stick while others fail? It all comes down to two fundamental questions: ❓ Can I do it? (ability) ❓ Will it be worth it? (motivation) This idea, rooted in Aristotle’s philosophy and brought into modern psychology by Albert Bandura, explains why motivation and ability are essential drivers of human behaviour. The Crucial Influence model builds on these principles, offering practical tools to help people strengthen motivation and develop ability—for themselves and others. It’s a proven way to create lasting change. How do you approach building motivation or ability in your own life?

When employees stay silent about concerns or withhold information, organisations pay the price—teamwork, safety, and quality all suffer. Research by Milliken and Morrison (2003) highlights how “organisational silence” has contributed to serious failures, from airline crashes to medical errors. The lesson? Open communication isn’t optional—it’s crucial. How can we encourage every voice to be heard?

Struggling to communicate under stress? When emotions run high, how we communicate matters. Here are four skills to help you stay effective: 1️⃣ Speak Up Early: Don’t wait. The longer you stay silent, the more problems grow. Consider the risks of not speaking up first. 2️⃣Challenge Your Story: Feeling victimised, helpless, or blaming others? Pause. Question the narrative in your head. 3️⃣Create Safety: Before you dive in, share your positive intent. When people feel safe, they’ll be more open to your message. 4️⃣Start with Facts: Emotions blur reality. Ground yourself in facts to guide conversations and reactions. Practice these, and you'll turn stressful moments into meaningful dialogues. What’s your go-to tip for staying calm under pressure?

How do you stay calm and clear-headed in a crucial conversation? Try using The Path to Action: 1. See & Hear: Observe what’s happening objectively 2. Tell a Story: Notice the story your mind creates about the situation 3. Feel: Acknowledge the emotions this story triggers 4. Act: Choose a response that aligns with your goals When you understand this process, you gain control over your responses, paving the way for more effective conversations. #CrucialConversations #PathToAction #Communication #MindfulCommunication #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence

We recently had the pleasure of working with RSL Queensland’s People & Culture team in Brisbane! 22 team members dove into the Crucial Influence model, with CHRO Jen and Shirley from L&D leading the way. During the same week, the team took the next step by certifying four trainers to roll out the program with RSL Queensland team members in 2025. Looking forward to seeing the future impact on their journey! #CrucialInfluence #Leadership #LeadershipTraining #LeadershipCourse #BehaviourChange #ChangeManagement
