You Can’t Push through Uncertainty with Steven Feinberg


Listen Later

“When confronted by uncertainty, first adapters win not by pushing harder with willpower, but by unlocking the game of patterns.”
- Steven Feinberg
Steven joins me today to discuss what NeuroStrategy is and how it can help leaders and organizations triumph. He shares how growing up in a world of uncertainty shaped his path to becoming a NeuroStrategist.
He explains the characteristics of a “first adapter” and outlines the principles of NeuroStrategy. He also reveals why using willpower alone is one of the biggest mistakes people make when they get stuck in a problem and provides an example of how higher-order pattern recognition can empower leaders and entrepreneurs.
