Workers Wire for War or Peace - It's How the Human Brain Works

Last week I got an earful from one worker at a manufacturing plant War into Peace.jpgand another earful from his fellow worker … as a two year conflict between two managers rages on. Eventually cortisol shuts down a person’s ability to communicate peacefully. Nobody seems to remember  specifically what started this battle … but we all remember the cynical bantering that lacked respect for managers on both sides. Human brains wire for peaceful solutions by the way people:

1. use
words without blame but with mutual solutions in mind
2. wield tone in ways that welcome and learn from
opposing views
3. create images for peace rather than emphasize options for battle

Have you noticed persistent conflicts launch through disrespectful back-and-forths where you work …? This behavior stirs up
cortisol, a hormone that promotes war.  Look at ways the brain processed words at this firm and you see the same ancient hatred that hardens people in the Middle East .  Hezbollah and Israeli brains wired for war long before the latest bloodshed we’ve witnessed here…. Does the same hatred stir rage in people through battle words….tone… and images…where you work? How do you deal with difficult people?

Gruesome battles are merely extensions of a brain’s prior conditioning which wires for deep seated hatreds … often escalated on both sides … and simply launched into battle by the side whose guns of war pound first. Unfortunately hatred is hardened even more through wars that result from words, tone and images we create at work today. How are you
re-patterning your brain for well-being?
