Turning off your brain’s auto-pilot
Key Takeaways
-
Businesses fail because they make small mistakes in many areas creating a heavy burden on the leader and eventually sinking the business.
-
There are only 2 constituencies you should care about- Your customers and your team vs. focusing on beating your competition.
-
Teams get most of the work done in the company. Leaders must attract the right people, put them in the right teams, find a way to grow them, and provide an exit strategy when necessary.
-
Neuroleadership focuses on creating a more brain-friendly organization by making sure interactions in the workplace don’t put people’s brains in a threatened state.
-
Most of our decisions are made automatically without thinking. It takes a lot of work, time, and effort, but it is possible and it is worth it to slow down your bad habits and create better ones to replace them.
“[On creating psychological safety] It starts with you, you have to say, I'm a human being”. And that starts with three things: “I don't know”, “I'm sorry”, and “I need help”. When you can do that. you're giving permission for your team to be human beings. That generally raises the level of the team, productivity, and engagement.” — Bill Flynn
