Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Believe it or not … your company’s brainpower may be poorly suited to innovations that could keep you competitive.

More surprisingly … this problem is less related to age and more to daily practices that wire… re-wire … and unwire dendrite brain cells.

The brain's wiring works against firms that mandate rigid routines.  It also fails companies  that neglect creative approaches initiated by talented workers who reach high standards by using their unique mix of intelligences.  How so?

Some parts of healthy brains work without much help. That’s why people breathe … hearts beat … and body temp holds constant.

Other parts, though, connect to chemical and electrical roles … tied into hundreds of billions of nerve cells … and also tied into practices that cause chemical bankruptcy at an alarming number of sinking companies. That's why the very dollars lunged for ... tend to diminish in frantic current chases.

How can goals be reached when we stomp out high-performance minds at work?

The brain’s hardwired circuitry can lead to trouble for a firm that demands micromanaged approaches daily.  Then suddenly … struggling leaders spring new approaches onto workers with disastrous results. No wonder this cycle leads to pink slips and toxic workplaces.

Here’s a quick … and easily administered check to see if your staff is ready to roll out new innovations that equip the firm for changing directions. Simply suggest a new starting and ending time to the workday … and then watch for less than cool responses.

Do you offer the creative space for your workers to run with innovations that keep you at the cutting edge in these uncertain times?
