#95: Psychological Premise.

Psychological premise. How would you define it for the thing you’re in? Your industry?

For example, in financial services they will tell you that markets run on fear and greed.

Then it’s no wonder that the industry built up to facilitate markets (including that of ancillary service providers) is rife with fear and greed. Even in the work lives of the people who are far removed from the action. It’s like the circulatory system; it touches every part of the organization.

The psychological premise isn’t always broadcasted or obvious, especially because it is often in conflict with stated corporate values.

But once we’ve figure out what’s really going on, we can become the observer and use skillful means to navigate our world with clarity.
