Concept 2: Positive Work Environment
The concept of “reflected best-self” can produce a positive work environment. It challenges employees to think about situations in which they were at their “personal best” in order to understand how to exploit their strengths. Robbins and Judge (2009), stated that the concept “reflected best-self” is practical when employees are asked to think about situations in which they were at their “personal best” in order to exploit their strengths. Erika would need to think back to the times that she was successful and on the top of the leader board to exploit her strengths.
She knows what it takes to get to the top. Erika has to focus on the strengths that she has rather than dwell on the limitations that might arise every now and again, which is normal.
In contrast, Fisher (2009) stated that, with the “theology of self-help, we do not try to manipulate our emotions first and foremost through “positive thinking” or other such techniques, but rather by grounding our belief system in the truth of God’s Word.” (Insert Scripture from Bible
