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. |

Visual Requirement Definition: Establishing the Point for a Clear Commonality of Understanding
| |
| Visual Requirement Definition (VRD) can at first glance mean anything from being the test results from an eye exam to the specifications for the latest and greatest plasma high definition television.
However, and in the context of my interview with Blueprint's Matt Morgan, and in particular his reference to a study which indicated that the human brain is geared more towards receiving information by way of visual input versus say the written word, the VRD concept quite nicely aligns with the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words? |

Fear: Taming the enemy within
| |
| Every day I speak to managers, executives and sales personnel about what holds them back from achieving the success they want and earning the incomes they desire.

But fear has a structure and when you know the structure, you can make it disappear.

Teens and Sleep Problems: Quantity Sleep Doesn’t Always Mean Quality Rest.

| With the added stress of school, social pressures and significant increases in newly arriving hormones, middle school kids up to college freshman are suffering from a lack of both quantity and quality of restful sleep.

Researchers found that students who received not only more sleep---but also a better quality of sleep, got more A’s and B’s, while the teens who got less sleep received more C’s and D’s. |

Role of Leadership in Planning
| |
| Executives love to talk about planning… most complain their processes don’t work very well. Harvard Business Review reports that only 11% of CEOs believe that strategic planning is worth the effort. Most planning processes are too complex, and only document decisions already made. CEOs have the responsibility to make their planning processes effective; I believe the key is to keep the processes simple and focused. |

Creating a High Performance Organization

Nice or Honest?
| |
| I’m leading one of my martial arts classes on a hot summer afternoon. The air conditioner is working full-tilt, but only teases us with an occasional whiff of cool air. The students are fully focused and sweating through a set of choreographed exercises we call “kata”.
After laying it all on the line they wait for my judgment...
I ask, “Do you want me to nice or honest?” |

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.

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.

Increasing Your Impact and Influence - Move Your Thinking Somewhere Else
| |
| To have lasting personal impact and influence requires you to not only be conscious of what you are doing but to notice the effects on the other person or people and to modify your behaviour based on what you notice. This means using the inbuilt qualities and abilities of the human brain to transport you and your thinking to another place or position – and from that position you can be a more effective negotiator or influencer. As human beings we are, as far as we know, the only animals that can practise not only empathy but imagine ourselves in a different place or time and observe what is happening from that perspective. Personal impact and influence requires you to constantly use that ability of the advanced human brain to best effect. |

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. |
