When Stephanie West Allen reminded me today of a fascinating article in Business Week -- The Business Brain In Close-Up I revisited a “common sense” section that still intrigues me.
When it comes to common sense research and evidence provides the best footnote. Right? Why then, do we often say ... we know all that already, before we do it?
People often tell you brain based practices are common sense. That statement leads me to ask ... do business leaders who pony up $3,500 to attended David Rock’s neuroscience of leadership sessions ... already apply his brain based teaching? If so, their employees are simply not seeing its change in the workplace.
Check out the article at The Business Brain In Close-Up.
"It's full of possibilities," says
Have you often heard people tell you they already knew that – when you see little or no evidence in their day?
Before discoveries about the brain can lead to growth in business productivity ... a we'll want to move common sense into common practice. Al least until others spot the research and evidence that comes when people do what they sense they do to improve their business results. What do you think?
In the 8th Habit, Stephen R. Covey simply states:
"To know and not to do is not to know"
IMHO Leaders need to help to develop feasible action plans to convert (new?) knowledge into transformative organisational results.
