Five side streets lead to remarkable mental dividends that can be easily bypassed on today's conjested, fast-paced business highways. Ready to shift pace for a smoother ride?
Try five mental gears that increase brainpower and efficiency at the same time:
1. Difficult: Challenges stretch and exercise your brain, like hiking or swimming build bodily well-being. The opposite is also true, brainpower shrinks w
ith lack of new challenges.
2. Different: Diversity ratchets up mental power and in turn can lift your firm’s bottom line. Why then do so many firms miss diversity’s benefits? Look for a new way to work, invite a person from another culture to lunch, or wear a color you rarely wear, and you’ve already stepped into different possibility for your day.
3. Dodge: Disappointment often follows when people run from mistakes and fail to take away lessons for a more successful next try. Instead, face mistakes with courage ... while you dodge negativity and cynicism that stunt growth and raise unnecessary speedbumps.
4. Dream: Multiple intelligences hand you new tools to dream in ways that ratchet up mental health and productivity. Use and develop your talents in ways that help you dream, and you’ll also propel your workplace toward mental dividends.
5. Dare: Risk-taking is usually valued more in the best business settings, and yet inspiration for a healthy dare - remains available to all who all who stir a sense of wonder. Invent something new and your brain will create new neuron pathways to take you to the kind of innovations that change your world.
Any one of these mental pathways could jolt your business out of slippages that accompany uncertain marketplaces … into lighthouse territory and bonuses associated with high-performance minds.
