Vitality at work, is it possible?
Mary Rensel 
Quiet quitting is rampant, how do we support our teams to feel vital ?
Wellness is not enough, Why Vitality of the Team is needed…
Vitality is defined as the capacity to live and grow. There are studies looking at the vitality of the teams at work. A 2019 manuscript by De Jonge and Peeters described vitality at work as a state of physical and psychological health, which contemplates self-actualization, agency, personal well-being, and growth. There are also studies looking at the wellbeing of the team, vitality adds the growth component. This past week I had the honor to speak with a small leadership team that had taken the time to get out of town and take a few days to intentionally focus their goals and build skills. It was so wonderful to see people that were so obviously connected and informed on each other’s lives. They had intentionally taken time away to connect, plan and grow. I also had the honor to speak to a room of 200 docs and nurses who also took a morning to connect, learn and grow together. What a week! The literature suggests the wellbeing of the leader will influence the wellbeing of the team and their productivity. One way to say it is “we are all in the same soup”. We share our emotions and skills. The 2 leaders of these teams built a space where their teams could connect, grow and support each other. The energy and support was contagious! My favorite part of the day was when one of the docs in the front of the room whispered to me “ I love this” as they were working on a value assessment and she was even willing to share her values with the room. She appreciated the clarity of naming her values, we described them as our “lines in the sand”. Her comment made my day.
I love to share the neurobiologic needs of the brain at work, to connect, to align with its values and gifts and to feel momentum to design a career path that has meaning and purpose. The wellbeing of the leader and the team members will influence the level of belonging, impact and momentum of the team and the team’s outcomes. Learning the neurobiologic needs of the team leads and team members is not optional, in my opinion. We all need to feel we belong, have impact and can continue to learn and grow.
These 2 teams I had the opportunity to meet this week, both took their precious time and attention to connect, build skills and support each other. It was an honor to witness such wonderful vitality. The key to vitality at work is starting with wellbeing and then adding professional development. We can be well and work on our wellbeing as well as honoring the brain’s ability to continue to learn and develop. We, as humans, feel fully alive and vital when we are growing and learning. We can also feel tired, frustrated and like we are floundering as we are learning something new. Learning is not perfect or pretty, it takes effort, persistence and focus. Brains need extra support if you also want to learn today, please give it more water, sleep, movement, connections and compassion when you are an adult learner. Also connect your learning goals to your values and visions for a brighter tomorrow, as adult learners we will increase our likelihood of success if the goal is meaningful to us personally.
Vitality includes the ability to live and grow, what will you do this week to be sure you are giving all the resources you and your team need to build capacity and growth?
Growth takes attention and intention, don’t leave this to chance.
You got this.
I believe in YOU and YOUR TEAM.
