17. How to Train Your Brain to Think in New Ways?
Leaders, What got you here, Won’t get you there
Get acquainted with our latest neuroleadership insights and strategies while moving up to become a SUPERHUMɅIN™ Thinker.
Episode Notes
As many C-suite Leaders we interact with: you may go to the gym to train your muscles. You run outside or go for hikes to train your endurance. Or, maybe you do neither of those, but still wish you exercised more. We spend so much time focusing on improving our body; shouldn’t you also focus on learning how to train your brain to think better ?
We all have our favorite mental models, the ones we naturally default to as an explanation for how or why something happened. As you grow older and develop expertise in a certain area, you tend to favor the mental models that are most familiar to you.
Here's the problem: when a certain worldview dominates your thinking, you’ll try to explain every problem you face through that worldview. This pitfall is particularly easy to slip into when you're smart or talented in a given area.
As the common proverb says, “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
In this weekly episode, we will share some of the best ways to do this is to expand the set of mental models you use to think. As well, I will share with you some tools that I am using for thinking better.
Enjoy the Show!
