Have you ever noticed how people who seem curious about life in 
general… also possess more power to change behaviors in themselves and in others…? They ask questions rather than wield commands ... the way we see in those who misuse positions of authority….
Rather than try to convince others of particular solutions or answers, people who invoke change… tend to ask for insights from those around them.
Leslie Brothers, psychiatrist–neuroscientist showed in his book ... Friday’s Footprint: How Society Shapes the Human Mind ... how the brain is structured to be more socially oriented than generally used. From birth we experience a form of empathy, and at six months, well before we even speak, we experience advanced socially oriented emotions such as jealousy….
That’s why whenever people hear criticism, the brain’s subconscious alarm bells rings and they’ll likely balk....
Top-down approaches… regardless of how sophisticated they are structured are rarely enough to provide reliable change. It’s why brain based and visionary leaders remain curious… ask questions and look beyond their ideas for change.
