Procrastination is much more complicated than we see it. It can be a result of stress, overworking, burnout, reduced motivation, or simply bad time management. What we can all agree is that is definitely a bad habit that harms our productivity and affects the way we feel every day. 

However, procrastination isn’t something that can’t be overcome. If you notice that an employee of yours has become a procrastinator, there are several things you can do to help them get out of the loop.

In this weekly episode, we will focus on why your employees may proscrastinate, while how, you, as their Leader, can drive them scientifically beyond ?

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.

As designer Frank Chimero writes: “Fatigue happens to your body, but burnout exhausts your soul.”

 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 SUPERHUMAIN™ Thinker.

Episode Notes

The prevailing attitude in the workplace can create the conditions needed for innovative growth, or it can lead to a toxic environment where new ideas are unwelcome. The willingness to embrace doing things in a new way and adopting a positive mindset in regards to experimentation are both crucial for a positive attitude in today’s business world. 

Leaders are expected to be problem solvers, but no one leader can do everything alone. Effective leaders must inspire others to want to solve these problems, and they should encourage employees to also think outside the box. A leadership style that is harsh, constantly negative and rigid is not conducive to collaboration and instead will likely lead employees to pursue other avenues of employment. Leaders should assess themselves first--are you behaving in a manner that will positively impact those around you?

In this weekly episode, we will focus on how can SUPERHUMɅIN™ Leaders tap into the power of positive thinking?
