Pygmalion effect, the power of belief.

Pymalion effect is a psychological phenomenon where high expectations and positive expectations will lead to increased performance, our positive expectations of others will affect that person, will become more motivated, feel empowered and feel more confident.

And then that attitude will have an impact on that person's achievement, which in the end our hopes and expectations for that person really come true.

This Pygmalion effect is then scientifically proven, in real life we ​​may encounter incidents like this, for example, we are a leader, and we have two staff, let's call them Roger and Zack, they are two people who are comparable to each other similar skills and abilities.

But we as leaders treat them differently, Roger is always given the trust to handle a job, while Zack is treated normally, if there is an ordinary job then Zack is asked to do the job, because the leadership attitude makes Roger feel more reliable, feel more motivated and felt he had to work harder, and finally Roger really achieved the target desired by the leader, but on the contrary with Zack because he was treated ordinary, Zack felt like an ordinary person, and felt his abilities were only average, Zack was then demotivated to do things that the best he could actually do was.

The opposite of this Pygmalion effect is the Gollem effect.

Where the low trust and expectations given to someone will affect the person's low performance.

From this case we can take many lessons, we can apply the Pygmalion effect in various ways, in a business, even in a family, from this we can also learn how strong a belief or belief, our trust or belief in other people is will greatly affect that person, the impact can also be positive or negative.
