While many people speak of the need for change at work, a few lead transformational practices. Powerful economic and social forces continue to set in motion an urgent need for change. In response … brain based practices will ensure transformation at your organization. How so?
When transformational practices come tethered to recent life-changing 
discoveries about the human brain … people grow flexible and prepared to meet that firm’s modern and fast paced world demands. Have you seen it happen?
Consider common problems that create crisis and watch the brain at work:
1. Tenured workers refuse to change: Many firms unknowingly offer incentives for people to stay in the ruts that kill business deals daily. Invention, with all its dynamic rewards, provides the inspiration that drives winning markets.
2. Daily practices fail to align with vision: The part of one’s brain that dreams big differs from the part that steps daily toward that vision. Both need to be nurtured.
3. Poor tone diminishes corporate culture. Good tone often comes for sharing and communication a great vision in ways that workers can see personal and organization dividends.
John Kotter, in his bestselling book Leading Change, emphasized ongoing learning and changes as keys to reaching maximum potential at work. I’d like to add that when transformational practices align with brain based discoveries, growth follows.
Do transformational practices keep you and your firm at peak-performance?
Ellen, there were good reasons why things like tenure and unions were established, and this has kept both education, business, the medical field and government in some horrible ruts, but the pendulum is swinging back, thankfully.
You suggest invention would help workers to get dynamic rewards and to drive winning markets for business. With a win-win like that, everybody benefits.
Oh, to see more of that! Great post!
