Have you ever been working on an activity and when you checked the time, you could not believe how much time had passed? You were so focused on what you were doing that everything around you faded into the background. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a renowned psychology, refers to this mental state as “flow.” Understanding how to create an atmosphere for your employees that is conducive to entering the flow state can improve everyone’s efficiency without having to add more hours to the day.
For this Assignment, review all of the information in the Daniel Pink book on the concept of flow. You should do additional research as well or online on the work of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who developed the flow theory. Next, complete the activity “Give Yourself a Flow Test” on p. 153 of the Pink text. Respond to Pink’s questions about your experience in 1- to 2-pages. If you feel like you have not had any or just a few flow experiences, then explain in the paper why you believe you have not had any and create a plan for what you might do to create more opportunities for experiencing flow in your life
