ceiling effect

CeilingEffect refers to the phenomenon that in a certain field or an organization, for various reasons, an individual or an organization cannot further improve after reaching a certain level.

How do individuals break through the ceiling effect?

Know your ceiling

First of all, individuals need to know where their ceiling is, whether it is in skills or mentality, knowledge or experience. Only by clarifying the bottleneck can we make a breakthrough plan.

Learning new skills

Secondly, individuals can break through the ceiling by learning new skills. For example, sales staff have reached the bottleneck in sales skills, and they can improve their comprehensive ability by learning knowledge in marketing, customer service and other fields, thus breaking through the ceiling.

Change mindsets

In addition to the improvement of skills, personal mentality is also an important factor to break through the ceiling. If a person always complains about his work and life, it is difficult for him to break through the ceiling. On the contrary, if a person can face challenges positively and optimistically, and constantly look for opportunities and breakthroughs, then his ceiling will gradually disappear.

How can organizations break through the ceiling effect?

Break the normal procedure

If an organization wants to break through the ceiling, it needs to break the rules first. If an organization has been operating as before, it is difficult to break through its ceiling. On the contrary, if an organization can constantly innovate and find new business models, new products and services, its ceiling will gradually disappear.

Motivate employees

In addition to innovation, organizations need to motivate employees. If an organization's employees are not motivated and creative, it is difficult to break through its ceiling.

Cultivate leadership

On the contrary, if the leader of an organization can have foresight and decision-making power and lead employees to innovate and break through constantly, then its ceiling will gradually disappear.
