Classroom: Where People Learn from Mistakes 🧑‍🏫

By Dan Hogan ・ 2 minutes to read

Right-Minded Choice Model to Forgive or Attack

The Classroom is a key symbol in Right-Minded Teamwork (RMT).

It represents the psychological state and culture of Right-Minded Thinking, where individuals take total or shared accountability and focus on personal and team growth. The Classroom is the symbolic opposite of the Battleground where people punish or are punished.

RMT invites teammates to view their team as a safe place to experience the joy and wonder of learning new teamwork skills and collaborating to achieve mutual goals and customer satisfaction. All relationships are essentially classrooms, or practice fields, for personal growth; the choice is whether to embrace that learning or turn them into battlegrounds.

The Right-Minded Choice and Principles

The Decision-Maker, The Real You, always has the freedom to choose between accountability (the Classroom) or victimization (the Battleground). The life goal is to experience more Right-Mindedness than wrong-mindedness.

When teammates hold onto Right-Minded Principles and Values, you create a Classroom at work characterized by:

  • Forgiveness: People are forgiven for making honest mistakes, realizing they are not their mistakes.
  • Abundance: An abundance mentality ensures there is always more than enough.
  • Accountability: People happily take accountability and ownership, knowing all relationship problems can be resolved.

The Classroom is a peaceful, fun place where people feel confident that their behaviors do not imprison them.

Escaping Ego for Reason

When you experience fear or realize you are having an Ego attack, you are in the Battleground.

To return to the Classroom, you must engage in a Moment of Reason. This is achieved by pausing, being still, and intentionally listening for your positive intuition, or Reason. You can remind yourself, “I choose to rise above this silly battleground and head to my Right-Minded classroom.”

How to Apply the Right Choice Model Create a Right-Minded Team That Works as One

This mindful practice helps train your mind to think in a more responsible, accountable way. You strengthen your thought system and restore yourself to Right-Minded Thinking.

In the Classroom, teams embrace the aspiration: Do No Harm, Work as One ®, and they Accept, Forgive, and Adjust to find solutions. The resulting team culture is a self-perpetuating cycle of acknowledgment, support, forgiveness, and recovery.
