Mindmap

Keywords

💡效率

效率指的是完成任务或生产产品的能力与速度。在视频中,提到公司普遍只运行在50%的效率,意味着有很大的提升空间。这与视频主题紧密相关,即通过游戏化和即时反馈来提高工作效率和员工满意度。

💡游戏化

游戏化是指将游戏设计元素、思维和机制应用于非游戏场景的过程。视频中,演讲者通过将公司运营比作游戏,来解决员工参与度和效率问题,使员工在完成任务时获得即时的满足感和社交认同。

💡即时反馈

即时反馈是指在行为发生后立即给予的回应,这在视频中被用作提高员工积极性和参与度的工具。例如,当员工完成任务或达到目标时,他们可以立即获得分数或其他形式的认可。

💡社会判断

社会判断是指个体在社会环境中对行为的评估和反应。视频中提到,通过社会判断来驱动员工行为,例如在军队中,逃跑会受到同伴的负面评价,从而促使士兵遵守纪律。

💡多巴胺

多巴胺是一种在大脑中产生的神经递质,与愉悦感和奖励机制相关。视频中提到,玩游戏时会释放多巴胺,使人感到快乐,这是游戏化能够提高工作满意度的生物学基础。

play00:07

play00:09

going to tell you next 15 minutes a

play00:11

little bit of my 15 years and just go

play00:16

from there so it's about my buddy Sudhir

play00:21

achar he's also my business partner I

play00:24

met him a long time ago when I was a kid

play00:27

we started playing and that was the

play00:29

bondage game was the bondage we had a

play00:33

lot of fun with it we drifted apart

play00:34

about 10 years ago we met again we met

play00:39

again and we started working together

play00:41

and we saw that we changed but our DNA

play00:48

was the same we played but this time in

play00:51

country clubs we played golf we had a

play00:54

lot of fun we were competing just as

play00:56

badly wood hackle push each other

play00:59

compete still try to win every time we

play01:03

started a company and started working on

play01:05

a certain problem and we noticed that

play01:09

there is a huge problem in Ana prizes or

play01:13

in companies and a priceless companies

play01:14

and the problem was this the problem was

play01:21

simply the fact that companies are

play01:25

probably all these great inventions

play01:27

everything going on companies are

play01:29

probably working at 50% efficiency just

play01:33

50% efficiency do you know why let's

play01:37

look at it from the employees

play01:38

perspective this is what we think of

play01:40

work we think of work really

play01:45

passionately and say you know what I

play01:47

hate it how many of you are there I hate

play01:52

it right if that's not enough let's look

play01:57

at the problem from the other side the

play01:59

leaders what are they saying

play02:02

they like the naked thinking man you

play02:04

know why because they have no clue of

play02:07

what's going on because they have to

play02:08

deal with our attitude right so they

play02:12

have major issues of the fact that they

play02:14

cannot see anything they are like the

play02:16

blind leading the blind

play02:19

so much so that I've heard some of the

play02:22

CEOs come in and tell me Harsha we have

play02:24

data mafia said what data mafia yeah of

play02:28

course nobody gives me anything how can

play02:30

I run the company not only that I have

play02:31

to take this company to the promised

play02:34

land promised land of operational

play02:37

excellence and vision mission my board

play02:38

member is beating me up this is the

play02:42

problem the problem is so bad that in

play02:45

every company in the world there is a

play02:47

huge chasm this is a big divide we call

play02:51

it the Great Divide and you know what

play02:54

the management gurus have done all of

play02:56

you I'm sure like there are management

play02:58

gurus out here we've been taught better

play03:01

and better ways of widening the gap

play03:04

because we don't trust the employees the

play03:06

employees don't trust us so much so

play03:09

there is one really effective tool that

play03:13

has been developed and you really want

play03:17

to see a demonstration of it I might

play03:20

break things and so please I apologize

play03:25

in advance and you know what it is it is

play03:28

this that's what it is it's an effective

play03:34

tool they beat us up we what do we do

play03:38

wider is the chasm we hit them more

play03:42

nobody wants to work the beauty of it is

play03:50

this can be solved and we have

play03:54

effectively solved this problem

play03:56

so let's Park this aside for a moment

play03:59

and let's go and see the solutions the

play04:03

solutions are two in nature and they are

play04:08

not at all related to enterprises or

play04:11

process or none of the fancy stuff they

play04:13

made out to be they are based on the

play04:18

biology of human beings just a moment

play04:22

ago we did something really cool we

play04:25

played a game

play04:28

when we are bored we play games we

play04:30

compete against each other see who is

play04:32

winning right so let me tell you a story

play04:35

about it

play04:36

this was long time ago when I was a

play04:39

newbie manager I used to have people

play04:42

that would report to me you know you can

play04:45

call the manager breakers when I woke up

play04:48

I'd pray I hope this guy doesn't come to

play04:50

work I don't have to deal with him and

play04:54

one of them let's call him Bob I was

play04:57

working on a major deliverable and it

play05:01

was 11:30 on a Friday night and it was a

play05:05

national holiday I believe so this was

play05:07

in Dallas I I walked out of my office

play05:10

and then I saw Bob was out there Bob's

play05:13

light was lit and this is the guy that

play05:14

won't stay past four o'clock I'm like

play05:17

what happened I walk up to Bob and said

play05:19

Bob what's happening is everything all

play05:21

right and Bob goes yeah everything's

play05:24

fine I'm getting to the next level in

play05:26

the game I said what game he's playing

play05:30

video games

play05:31

in the office 11:30 I'm livid so this

play05:36

guy says I said Bob what are you doing

play05:39

really in the game I'm killing the dead

play05:42

what are you doing he was killing

play05:44

zombies crazy stuff so I said okay Bob I

play05:48

just walked away it said loser and walk

play05:51

to him and then at four o'clock in the

play05:54

next morning I got up worked out at the

play05:57

gym pushed hard went back to golf right

play06:01

so I played golf with three other bodies

play06:04

all CEOs all of them fairly well off for

play06:11

a grand prize of three golf balls

play06:15

that's for three golf balls over here

play06:16

three golf balls this is what we played

play06:19

for and for this we fought we competed

play06:25

if you thought this was competition know

play06:27

we can do better we were really tough on

play06:31

each other and yet all four three golf

play06:34

balls that they could have bought the

play06:36

entire golf ball factory without even

play06:39

denting their wallet

play06:41

funny huh what do you do we are crazy

play06:45

and then on the way back I just realized

play06:49

that there's no difference from my

play06:52

disgruntled employee and me both of us

play06:56

are losers why because this guy is

play07:01

working on a national holiday he's

play07:03

having fun all by himself at 11:30 in

play07:06

the night I have a major deliverable yet

play07:08

I'm playing golf well I said okay there

play07:13

must be something to this

play07:14

we parked this so let's come to the

play07:17

third problem so we've got a problem

play07:19

we got one biological discovery and

play07:23

actually somebody mentioned this is

play07:26

biological because every time you play a

play07:30

game you play a game because there is a

play07:32

chemical that is released called

play07:35

dopamine and that is a happy chemical

play07:38

that makes you feel good so every time

play07:43

you check off something when you do

play07:45

something it's released so we parked

play07:49

this aside this is the happy chemical we

play07:51

have the happy chemical with us leave it

play07:52

aside

play07:53

then we go on and we'll talk about the

play07:57

next solution the second solution is

play08:01

let's do some experience you're learning

play08:03

you know this is getting boring too much

play08:06

talking so let's do some experience

play08:07

you're learning um all these guys are

play08:12

waiting for me to do this so let's say I

play08:14

came into this off this thing wearing

play08:21

this tennis skirt hey this belongs to my

play08:25

wife so no complaints now if I came

play08:30

wearing this what would you say you

play08:34

would laugh see I I hear people making

play08:38

snide remarks absolutely right but the

play08:42

real question the real question is who

play08:46

taught us that this was wrong who taught

play08:49

us this do you see what I'm saying

play08:53

it is incredible

play08:54

or that somebody out there is teaching

play08:57

us that miniskirts on men as bad and

play09:00

that's called social judgment this

play09:03

social judgment can drive us in the

play09:06

right direction our society biologically

play09:10

as human beings we have survived because

play09:13

we have been taught by our forefathers

play09:17

don't go touch fire son it's going to

play09:19

burn

play09:21

so this is our guidance mechanism so now

play09:26

we have something cool

play09:27

let's put it all together let's put it

play09:29

together so what we did was we had this

play09:32

major operational excellence problem we

play09:35

had the operational excellence we had

play09:37

all of that but the great divide we

play09:39

fixed it by having people play instant

play09:43

gratification games with social judgment

play09:47

you look at any successful company any

play09:50

place that has worked at incredible

play09:54

efficiencies they work on social

play09:57

judgment so example army right so look

play10:01

at the army instant gratification you I

play10:05

kill you all I know the other answer I

play10:08

am dead and if I'm running because I

play10:13

don't like the army or I'm afraid what

play10:16

do you do they're not going to call HR

play10:18

hey he's running away they're going to

play10:20

turn around shoot you social judgment

play10:23

everybody is judging you this is what

play10:27

has driven us to the next level this is

play10:30

a great discovery because this can

play10:33

change the world

play10:34

this can change the world but I'm sure

play10:38

there are some of you sitting out there

play10:39

saying oh please sir sure it's one more

play10:42

dot man if I go out there how the heck

play10:47

do i implement this that's what we have

play10:49

done for the last five years we've gone

play10:52

ahead and literally implemented the

play10:55

whole company as a game and let's just

play11:00

play day in the life of club in our

play11:03

company I walk in

play11:05

I am no longer Harsha I am zero that's

play11:10

my avatar name the beauty of it is I get

play11:15

measured just like everybody else

play11:16

so I have a scorecard pretty cool

play11:20

everything I do is instant judgment

play11:24

instant gratification nice why because

play11:30

it's an open no more once in a year

play11:33

judgment where I'm going to fight with

play11:36

my manager right so if this is not

play11:40

enough let's go to the other side the

play11:43

CEO Sudhir is sitting in u.s. in the

play11:49

Cleveland he can not only see everything

play11:52

but he can control things by simply

play11:54

changing the game wow this is cool

play11:57

not just that our customers actually

play12:00

come in and play the game if we do good

play12:03

our customers give us points instant

play12:06

gratification we do more good nice so

play12:10

once we get to this what has happened is

play12:13

the great big chasm we have has been

play12:16

breached now we have a connection a

play12:20

conduit so the entire company the

play12:23

playing field itself is changed it's no

play12:26

longer somebody pushing a big rock up

play12:29

the hill it's actually the other way

play12:31

around because everybody is contributing

play12:33

to save the company and help the company

play12:35

if this was not good there are some

play12:40

other naysayers in our amongst us who'll

play12:44

Saoirse prove it show me the results are

play12:48
