I love it when when the science matches the kind of lived experience. What im what i'm wondering about is maybe the the rest of work. So you've talked about feedback, one example of something that is very activating and very problematic the way we do it and the status quo. What are some other fundamental work habits, norms, patterns, ways of working that are just standard? You know, across the fortune 500 that that don't really work the way our brains want them to work.
What’s going on in our brains when we have breakthroughs? Why do some of our most basic work habits and norms exhaust our minds rather than light them up? If feedback is essential for cognitive development, why can it freak us out and set our teeth on edge?
These are some of the big questions David Rock, CEO and co-founder of the Neuroleadership Institute, ponders all of the time. David believes that if we can increase our ability to think well at work (since, spoiler alert, most work is thinking work) and bake more neuroscience into the workplace, we can be more effective, build better habits, and have better interactions within our teams and organizations.
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans ask David all about how brains behave at work.
