Screnshot of the headline from Substack note "Reasons your employees or clients don't "just do it.""
Just sayin...13 reasons why they don't "just do it" that aren't because they are lazy, entitled, or lacking motivation.

Here’s my take on #leadership and #organizationalbehavior. It speaks to the heart of why we misunderstand behavior in the workplace (actions, inactions, things said and left unsaid, body language, tone…). And it’s not anything I learned in my #iopsych books/classes.
Employees & leaders constantly misunderstand each other. Keeping it from derailing the team, growth, & bottom line: There's a skill for that, and you won’t find it in most management books or traditional leadership courses. You will find it here: tinyurl.com/mw85jzf7

I am a huuuuuge history and genealogy nerd. I love going down the rabbit hole of both.
As an organisational psychologist who assesses IQ for a living, Trump may have had the potential to be average when he was born. However, being super rich from birth, and having been born with personality traits of extreme low conscientiousness (a predictor of unethical behaviour, and law breaking), and being incurious by nature, he shied away from education early on, and has ran from it ever since then. People like that cope in the world by developing an outsized ego. He has learned that by acting super confident, he can fake being smart enough to be useful. The problem is that it is not that he knows nothing of value, rather it is that he knows stuff that just isn't so. Just like that tariffs will raise income enough to replace taxes, etc. He suffers mightily from the Dunning Kruger effect, and when there are people asking real questions, resorts to bullying. He is an authoritarian leader, with attributes that make him a despotic leader. This is going to get much worse. Given that he is president again, he will never listen to anyone, because he 'reasons' that he got where he is by being super smart, so there is no one smart enough to advise him. Like all despots, he has ensured that only sycophants have his ear. This leads to disastrous decisions and even downfall. His followers score very high on right wing authoritarianism. This is where people outsource their thinking and blindly follow their dear leader, no matter what. It is also accompanied by out group aggression, hence the insurrection. Altemyer & Dean 2020 found that 43% of Americans score high on this, and overwhelmingly tend to be Trump supporters. In addition Choma & Hannock 2018, found that they score low on IQ, which is in keeping with large scale research on right wing authoritarians and even right wing people.

As I tell my clients, emotions are contagious, and there are A LOT of them out there. Especially if you are in the DC Metro Area. I hope this resource helps you buffer yourself.

Honored to contribute to one of my community’s outlets.
I imagine some of my bookmarks will similarly collect figurative dust.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
For me, I use it for posted links to news articles or research articles that I want to read but cannot read in the moment I saw the post.
I am sure my colleague @iopsychmemes.bsky.social will have fun with this.

I agree Rose. I just wish the craft of discourse, of productive conflict, was more commonly taught. The public square in any form can exist, but the skills to use it for more than flogging are the differentiator.
2) But if it isn’t, do we put people in harm’s way by testing it?
1) At APA 2025 I spoke with Dr. Evans briefly about this: Say an AI “therapist” chat bot is used. Ethically, you have to disclose this. But does knowing it’s a bot and not human change the relationship and alter our ability to know whether the bot is as effective? Or could be?
4) Only 20% to 28% of 6- to 17-year-olds (US) meet the 60 minutes of daily physical activity recommendations. (PAA)
The list goes on…
There a number of factors contributing to this problem and it will take a Herculean, cross-disciplinary effort to turn it around.

3) * Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-14 (NAMI)
* 46.9% of US adults get enough aerobic exercise. (CDC)
* 24.2% of US adults get enough of both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity.(CDC)
…
2) A $6.3 trillion wellness industry by end 2023, up from $4.6 in 2020 and projected to hit $9 by 2028 (per global wellness institute)
And yet…
* 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year (NAMI)…

2) Mine is the only study to compare 4 subsets of workers’ psychological well-being (Eudaemonic). Across all measures & demographics: NO SIG DIFFERENCE.
What matters is how you react to the pressures on you not if the pressures are from being an employee or biz owner (is my theory for follow-up).
1) Thank you APA for selecting me as 1 of 10 to present my research competition-style at conv. 2025! Honored to share my research which directly impacts biz outcomes.
Thanks to my #Division13 colleagues for their support!

About to present, errrr, compete in Psych-in-Three at APA 2025. 3min to present my research. 10 finalists. Only 1 can “win”. #iopsych
Excited for APA 2025! #iopsych #psychology
Thanks! Whew!
Hey #IOPSYCH peeps, I updated my handle. Not sure how that affects starter packs sooooo 🤷🏼♀️ Would love to make sure we’re all still connected. Also lmk if you’re at the APA convention in Denver!
