How To Employ The Hawthorne Effect For Maximum Results
During my time in premedical school as a rookie x-ray tech, my school sent me to a military site. I received the best training on that subject in the country from high performing ranking military officials who were legends in the field. (68P)
Definitely a good idea on them because i was a young undisciplined buck. In my time there I got the full military ass chewing, ass whopping, character building, but also an advanced education that the books couldn’t give me.
Why was this?
Why do people in the military get in incredible shape but fall off once their “out.”
How did what the books try to teach me fail, where an ass chewing did it?
Well on one hand my instructor was a genius. His name was Acosta.
I’d compare him to Hitler if he was a good guy and loved x rays. Regardless of his strange character and random high blood pressure outburst, there was one thing no one could deny, not the school system, the board of X Ray Technology or the Nation itself. (this man got many awards for developing one of the greatest x ray programs in the world.)
That was this guy was the MF MAN and the greatest of all time when it came to teaching and getting people to learn. How did he do this?
One of the techniques he used was the HAWTHORNE EFFECT.
What is the Hawthorne effect?
The Hawthorne Effect was coined in the 1950s by researcher Henry A. Landsberger when he analyzed worker experiments conducted at the plant between 1924 and 1932.
- It is a change in human behavior
- People alter or improve their performance
- It happens because they know they are being watched or studied
THEIR PRODUCTIVITY Skyrocketed, but right when the researchers left, it immediately dipped.
There a psychological phenomenon was discovered, the Hawthorne Effect which was actually named after the company they founded the state at.
“What is the Hawthorne effect in simply psychology? The Hawthorne Effect refers to the phenomenon where individuals alter their behavior or performance simply because they are aware of being observed, rather than due to specific changes in their environment.”
Acosta had a system set in pace, where even a sleep deprived, young knucklehead soldier/student could learn top level imaging skills in a matter of months.
He made it clear that you were constantly observed and held accountable for your ACTIONS! Just the thought of that made PERFORMANCE SKYROCKET! Also you feared for your life whenever he was around. (Fear is a great motivator.)
This is the SECRET OF THE GREATS. Let me tell you, I coach people, ive trained people in fitness. Do you think there is some magic secret?
Other than constant obsession, relentless drive for improvement, and huge amounts of sacrifice. It is actually quite simple.
I have also been coached by one of the greatest natural bodybuilders alive today. CHRIS JONES. REPRESENTING PUMPCHASERS!
When I worked with Chris was the first time I ever got shredded and lean in my life.
What do you think he taught me?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
All he did was send me a workout plan and macro plan, and i listened to his instruction. (Accountability).
BUT it was because he WAS THERE that I followed the PLAN.
How can you employ the Hawthorne effect for boss ass results in your life?
EASY. 1 IS hire someone in the area you wish to accelerate your life on.
Ever wonder why those high-level CEOs and BOSSEs have assistants?
When is my coffee appointment.
When do i need to meet blablbabl? ITS BECAUSE accountability is the secret to success and results! IT IS THE BACKBONE TO PREVENT FAILURE.
A failure prevention mechanism is one of the biggest ways to guarentee your success in any endeavor.
This is why Batman always has a contingency plan for every single battle he goes up against, he suspects failure happening & if it doesn't happen then he won either way.
I know it is often you have the desire for success. You have the motivation and desire to go for your goals.
Why haven't you achieved them yet?
It is because you are likely motivated on certain days, as all human beings. You have the huge drive for success and negate the chance of failure ever happening.
The only way to prepare for failure never happening, is to prepare for when it does and know how to prevent it.
Most people have a plan to win, but they don't have a plan to keep winning, and to make failure impossible. Utilizing the hawthorne effect is the secret on how.
Now if you can't afford to hire someone, or are one of those people who want to do it themselves.
THEN YOU CAN OBSERVE YOURSELF.
Here are your tools below and what you’ll need to amplify yourself to a level you never thought possible.
