Welcome to Episode 124 - Organisational Psychology with Clifford Morgan

  

Have you ever wondered why some workplaces are amazing places to be a part of, whilst others simply… suck? I have, and I’ve experienced both types of workplaces. And what I’ve come to understand is that workplace culture has a big part to play in how well an organisation operates. 

 

Great workplaces have inspiring leaders, engaged employees, shared values and strong work ethics. They’re adaptable, efficient, and effective; but they don’t forget the human side of doing business. The challenge is how do we arrive at this workplace utopia – and helping us do this are Organisational Psychologists. 

 

Joining me this week is Clifford Morgan from Lumian Consulting. Clifford served in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for over 17 years before moving into organisational psychology. Clifford now combines his military discipline and focus with psychology to support workplaces to thrive. He’s also the author of the Coaching Leader, and provides great insight into workplace culture, values, conflict and teamwork. 

 

Key points

 

In this episode Clifford shares: 

·       Understanding Organisational Psychology

Key quotes

 

“A workplace that doesn't suck is probably where the leader’s expectations are met by the staff and the staff's expectations are met by the leaders.”

 

“the mechanics are the things that the team does … the dynamics is how they go about it”

 

“The primary benefit of [team profiling] … is the conversation that it sparks rather than the profile itself.”
