Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Need  productivity to prevent downsizing? Do workers at your firm feel frustrated – while leaders sense they should be performing better?

Even the most successful companies can profit from lasting improvements that can come during adjustments to new product lines, shifting work schedules or alterations in the firm’s vision. Core changes come easier when brain based practices move brilliant ideas into action.  Companies’ productivity tends to rise through hidden or unused talents that emerge. 

Eight Intelligences Can Create Mind-bending Productivity and Benefit Workers Too

1. Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence: helps you tell great stories, write emails, participate in interviews, converse easily with peers. It increases communication between management, clients and customers.

2. Visual-Spatial Intelligence:  equips you to read blueprints, create ads, design web pages, draw maps, draw pictures, take photographs and create displays. It sells more product to visual clients.

3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence:  helps you solve problems, balance checkbooks, make and keep schedules, budget money. It tracks financial gain and uses it to increase the bottom line.

4. Musical Intelligence:  empowers you to draw insights from concerts, play an instrument, hum melodies, sing along with others, draw in rhythm and rhyme. It creates a working and buying setting through music.

5. Intrapersonal Intelligence: stirs you to keep personal records,  read alone to fact-find, study to answer questions about personal contributions. It promote productivity growth through self-reflection.

6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: gains growth through engagement in sports, moving body to music, walking and outreach  tours. It  uses body language and building to move a project forward.  

7. Interpersonal Intelligence: makes you a great team worker and leader, engages family and community support for new projects, pulls solutions from debates. It seeks opposing views from bloggers or others.

8. Naturalistic Intelligence:  transforms wildflower specimens,  hunting expeditions, or natural patterns such as  photograph landscapes into solutions at work. It draws from nature to increase productivity.

Throughout the process of working through different intelligences, people achieve things never before achieved through using parts of the brain never before used at work.  Productivity tends to spike when workers  begin to use and grow their stronger capabilities  creatively.  It’s actually quite simple – simply tell people they each possess at least eight intelligences and brainstorm ways to bring all eight into the next project.  See any applications for a project that uses more of your unique capabilities? That’s the place to draw from one new intelligence ….
