Addressing Organizational Limits with Simmone Bowe

Dive into Episode #149 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast with host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Simmone Bowe, leadership development consultant and founder of Limitless Life, a boutique training and HR consulting firm helping business leaders refine people strategy, performance improvement, leadership development, executive and career coaching, and mentorship.

Organizational limits can become psychosocial hazards when they create stress, uncertainty, or negatively impact employees' mental well-being. Here’s how:

• High Job Demands: Excessive workloads, unrealistic deadlines, and constant pressure can lead to chronic stress and burnout.

• Lack of Control: When employees have little say in how they perform their work or are given limited decision-making authority, it can lead to frustration and helplessness.

• Poorly Managed Organizational Change: Frequent restructuring, downsizing, or mergers without clear communication can cause anxiety and insecurity.

• Unclear Roles and Expectations: Conflicting responsibilities or vague job descriptions can lead to confusion and stress.

• Limited Support: A lack of social support from colleagues or supervisors can make employees feel isolated and vulnerable.

• Inadequate Reward and Recognition: Feeling undervalued or underappreciated can lead to demotivation and resentment.

Ms. Bowe’s expertise in training, development, HR, and leadership provides a unique perspective on how individuals and organizations can break through these limits to become truly limitless.
