While cults may execute personality changes in extreme ways, even those close to someone might observe, "This isn't the Jack I know." However, the methods cults utilize can be adapted in broader settings, functioning as effective management techniques or motivational tools.
Isolation
Cults often isolate individuals from their previous networks. In a workplace, this concept translates to "Leave personal life at the door." Similarly, at home, one can leave work matters behind. This approach helps create distinct "work" and "home" personalities.
Enlistment in a Cause
A powerful motivator is the feeling of contributing to a noble cause. Encourage involvement by linking group success to individual achievement. Make the cause ambitious and forward-thinking to inspire continuous participation.
Define the "Good Soldier"
Once individuals are part of a cause, outline the attributes of a "good soldier." Highlight existing strengths to affirm their role, while also emphasizing areas for growth. These attributes could be behaviors or values, guiding them to strive for an ideal, while underscoring their importance to the cause.
Cultivate the "Good Soldier"
Cults intensively drill desired qualities into their followers through exercises and feedback. In management, similar practices can cultivate motivation to adopt beneficial traits voluntarily. This is achieved by setting high standards and applying rewards and corrections subtly.
Establish a Group Myth
Solidifying a new persona is easier in a cohesive group. By involving individuals in collective activities, you foster a sense of unity and purpose. Whether through projects or team-building activities, such efforts help reinforce the newly developed personality.
These tactics can seamlessly integrate into business and social environments. If employing strategies similar to cults evokes hesitation, consider that these methods are widespread in various contexts. A proficient manager shares skills with a cult leader in uniting and motivating a team.
The benefits of these strategies include heightened motivation, strong team support, and a balance between work and personal life.
