Neuroscience and leadership
Many of us are increasingly frustrated by the fact that today's problems were often caused by solutions that were provided yesterday – solutions which, with the benefit of hindsight, were patently inappropriate or inadequate. Mostly these are caused by people operating out of less than optimal worldviews coupled with a primarily ‘red zone’ area of brain control. In this article Douglas Long explores the issue of worldviews as developed by Clare Graves and couples this with some basic neuroleadership concepts

Friend or Foe the Importance of Creating Great First Impressions
We often refer to the brain as having two hemispheres: the left, largely responsible for logic, and the right, predominately responsible for creativity. This description fits what we know to be the cortex or new brain; however, there is a third dimension, the hypo-thalamus or pre-historic brain, which is in fact the brain stem and is solely responsible for instincts.

Why Change Is So Hard
A single human brain is estimated to have the switching capacity of the entire U.S. telephone network.It can hold up to 100 trillion bits of information, dwarfing the capacity of any computer ever developed yet. But the brain can act as a prison unless we learn how to control it. The brain can, and often does, lick us into automatic perceptions and behaviors that are inaccurate, ineffective, or downright destructive. How the human brain works is worth noting if we want to change.

The Power of “Liz”
The power of our primitive Lizard Brain is unbelievable. This has more control over us and others than one thinks. Understand how you can turn this reality into a viable tool that works.

The Brain of a Leader
The area of our brain that we allow to control our thoughts and actions is a key factor in determining whether or not we are enabling ourselves and our organisations to deal effectively with new technological advances and rapidly changing circumstances. In this article Doug Long explains the default areas of control used by most of us and gives pointers to using a more effective area of control.
Brains, complexity, leaders
Our brain's area of control, our world view, and our ability to deal appropriately with the complexity we face are key factors in entrepreneurial and leadership success. The need to understand about the brain’s areas of control and to develop “blue zone control” becomes increasingly important as the business grows. Successful leaders are comfortable with the levels of complexity they confront and are constantly seeking new tools for dealing with the increased levels of complexity they know are around the corner
It's in the Brain - leadership and social issues
It is now fairly well accepted that the brain has three quite clear areas from which to control our behaviour – the area closest to the brain stem (sometimes called ‘the reptilian brain”), the limbic area (sometimes called “the mammalian brain”), and the cortical area (sometimes called “the human brain”. There is hard data that shows where teachers engage with students, the students become more responsive to learning and they don’t want to “let the teacher down”. In turn this has an impact by reducing antisocial behaviour in the community around the school. There is also hard data that shows where employees are engaged with their work and with their co-workers, there is significant reduction in lateness, absenteeism, sickness, and abuse of trust.
Third Generation Leadership - Developing 3G Leaders (I)
G3 Leadership requires an additional element to earlier generations. It requires the ability to manage down those areas of the brain that are not helpful in leader-follower interactions while simultaneously managing up those areas of the brain that are helpful. I refer to these as "Red Zone" (not helpful) and "Blue Zone" (helpful). Where the leader has his or her brain's locus of control is critical because only G3 Leaders are able to engage everyone with whom they interact: a G2 Leader can engage only some and a G1 Leader can engage only a few. In this article the first step to becoming a G3 Leader is provided.
Nurturing Nature-Does Your Brain Need a Workout?
Millions of brain cells die every day. If you are not replacing them with new healthy cells your brain will atrophy like any other muscle. Learn how to grow new brain cells and keep your brain healthy.
How the Economy Affects Your Brain
It’s a well known fact among the Mental Science community that chronic stress can actually alter brain anatomy. Stress (depression, fear, etc.) may cause specific areas of the brain to shrink in size. As the brain areas shrink, their functions (brain chemical secretions and electrical impulses) are altered. This anatomical adaptation to stress will ultimately affect how a person thinks, behaves, and reasons. In other words, changes in the brain due to stress, makes us less able to think of logical solutions to our problems. In addition to the irrational problem solving capacity produced by stress, the actual brain cells will change according to your thoughts.
Health Habits: Supplement Your Brain
Guess what! Your brain does not operate on its own… it’s attached to the rest of you. If you keep your body healthy, your brain will be healthier too, and you will be giving your brain a better chance to help you stay smarter and live a longer life of abundance and vitality....
