Last month saw the passing of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow – the seminal work that describes the human state of happiness, optimal experience and high performance. The book (and his research) has subsequently influenced everything from office design, to how to train soldiers, website and video game design amongst everything else. In this episode, I commemorate the author by synthesizing the essence of his work (in less than 15 minutes!) and describing how the Flow state is an absolute panacea for the 3 symptoms of our present COVID “hangover”.   Insights include: Why finding Flow is at the very heart of LeadershipWhat is the Flow state?Why enterprise became interested and what it discoveredThe conditions you need to know as a Leader to create FlowHow Flow is a panacea for the 3 symptoms of our pandemic hangoverFlow’s naughty neighbours : Boredom & Anxiety  Related Episodes  Episode 34 : Finding Meaning in Chaos Episode 26 : The Leadership Contribution Episode 12 - 14 : Motivation in Chaos Episode 5 : Clarity in Chaos Support the show (http://flowukandireland.com/)
