Pygmalion Effect

A team can do as well as you and the team think they can.

This idea is known as “the self­fulfilling prophecy(预言)”．When you believe

the team can perform well，in some strange and magical way they can.And similarly，when you believe they can't perform well，they can't.

The self­fulfilling prophecy is also known as the Pygmalion Effect.This

comes from a story by Ovid about Pygmalion，who created an ivory statue of his ideal

woman.And he immediately fell in love with it.He begged the goddess to breathe life

into the statue and make her his own.She granted Pygmalion his wish，the statue came

to life and the couple married and lived happily ever after.

The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw's play

“Pygmalion”．In Shaw's play，Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney

flower girl，Eliza Doolittle，into a duchess.But，as Eliza herself points out to

Higgins' friend Pickering，it isn't what she learns or does that determines whether

she will become a duchess，but how she's treated.

“You see，really and truly，apart form the things anyone can pick up，the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves but how she's

treated.I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins，because he always treats

me as a flower girl，and always will，but I know I can be a lady to you because you

always treat me as a lady，and always will.”

The implication(运用) of the Pygmalion Effect for leaders and managers

is massive(庞大的)．It means that the performance of your team depends less on them

than it does on you.The performance you get from people is no more or less than what

you expect，which means you must always expect the best.As Goethe said，“Treat a

man as he is and he will remain as he is.Treat a man as he can and should be and

he will become as he can and should be.”
