Habits for Highly Effective Staff- Using Person-Centred Thinking in day-to-day work
To really make a difference to someone's life - and to ensure they have more choice and control- staff supporting them need to participate in an ongoing loop of listening, learning and action.
This can be done through habitually using person-centred thinking tools. These are the foundation of change and they can help staff to learn what matters to an individual; what good support looks like; and how an individual communicates their choices and makes decisions.
Through using person-centred thinking, staff can think about their role in the individual's life and how they can bring about action. They can analyse what life is like for the person now, what is working for them and not working, and what needs to change. Then staff can continue to learn about what is important to and for an individual and how to balance the two.
This short paper for managers and staff offers seven different ways to build good habits that can help achieve the outcomes or changes that people want to see in their lives.
