Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Tonight I have the privilege of being interviewed on Wayne Turmel’s Podcast, The Cranky Middle Manager Show. In Turmel’s own words, “The Cranky Middle Manager is an irreverent but informative look at the leaders and thinkers trying to make the job of middle management that much easier.”

I had a choice of phone or Skype and I choice the phone, to keep some common landscape around me from shifting grounds for the 35 minute conversation.

The goal of this interview is to discover how managers can get the most from their intellectual resources, and, judging from the amazing interviews and leaders and talks on that show already, it was bound to be fun.

A good deal of my excitement came from the honor of an exchange with an intelligent leader like Wayne Turnel, about intelligence itself! Equally though, I am often intrigued with the interesting exchanges the internet and especially Podcasts like this one opens to leaders.

Communication, reaches into our interpersonal, linguistic and intrapersonal intelligences and it also reaches out to many kinds of thinkers, and when we’re open it comes back in ideas, research and new approaches to solve old problems.

Thoughts of the Cranky Manager Show also bring to mind your  generosity too, especially through the excellent communication we’ve shared in this Brain Based Business circle. Thanks!

Tell us what you think of the interview on a Podcast program at the Cranky Middle Manager series, Ok?. Throw your ideas into the mix … especially ideas about how the brain can improve communication in today’s workplace.

If you were to give me one piece of advice for another similar interview, based on what you know about the brain, about leadership, and about cranks in the workplace, what would you tell me from your experience?
