How do you break free from ruts that freeze your brain? When work settings seem dominated by one mental approach only … or when financial fears grip the news?
Here are a few suggestions to run from ruts that banish brains into traps of fear an
d panic:
1. Mingle meaningfully with visionaries who communicate ways to use talent as a map forward in times of fear or chaos.
2. Build diverse teams at work and ask for new ideas in advertising, sales, and problem solving approaches.
3. Take a risk and implement one new insight that will improve the way you think, lead and resolve conflicts.
4. Create an innovative climate for ongoing exchanges among workers who appear receptive to change. Ask for their ideas about changes and then support the best of these to implement one improvement within a week.
5. List top fear that holds your firm back on one side of white board … and ask for doable suggestions to punch out panic … with concrete workplace strategy … on the other.
Helen Keller illustrated how high-performance minds conquer fearful ruts … in her words … Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all. The opposite is also true … Life is riddled with ruts when fear grips the human brain.
What words describe your firm’s future … fear or freedom?
Hello Dr. Weber,
Freedom!! Nothing in life is worth sacrificing one's freedom in order to maintain it or protect it. Fear can only take away whatsoever is surrendered to it by a willing participant who succumbs to peer pressure.
