You can easily tell when learning lies at the center of an organization. People flourish at many levels, and the workplace rocks with state-of-the-art ideas.
When the heart of learning is cut from any workplace, the opposite happens. People grow afraid to take risks, and bureaucracies defend their existence rather than achieve their vision.
 Have you seen it happen?
Here are 10 MITA Center keys to unlock learning at the center in ways we track through higher motivation and achievement:
1. Increase intelligence through daily activating multiple intelligences.
2. Exchange ideas with collaboration in mind, rather than lecture one another.
3. Play music that alters moods and adds zip to mental capabilities.
4. Avoid venting in favor of proposing new ideas that solve problems.
5. Build dendrites for a competitive edge with experts from other fields.
6. Laugh at ourselves as we fix mistakes, and move to mind-bending outcomes.
7. Engage brainwaves that work best for peak performances at work.
8. Offer encouragement as a way to cheer on mental acumen.
9. Build neuron pathways beyond blame through regular reflection.
10. Bank serotonin as a way to roll out inventions that raise the bottom line.
With learning alive at the center of any institute … you will no longer settle for “training” which is better reserved for dolphins and dogs. In brain based learning all learn and all teach in mutually beneficial ways.
How does learning occur at your organization?
