Why do most efforts to improve team or individual performance fall apart within a short period of time? Why is it that our feelings of accomplishment diminish so quickly after we achieve a goal or target? These questions are just some of the topics I discuss with Stanford professor and author Shirzad Chamine in this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe”.Shirzad is the chairman of CTI, the largest coach-training organization in the world whose clients include managers and executives from Fortune 500 companies, as well as faculty from Stanford and Yale business schools. In addition to his PhD in neuroscience, Shirzad also holds a BA in psychology, an MS in electrical engineering and an MBA from Stanford, where he lectures.Shirzad's first book “Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential And How You Can Achieve Yours” has already become a New York Times bestseller, having received critical acclaim in both business and leadership circles.Over the course of our conversation, Shirzad and I discuss:How most of us impair our performance through self-sabotaging thoughts that we mistakenly view as being beneficial.The simple trick that allows us to overcome this self-sabotaging perception in order to improve our performance.How to tap into your higher brain areas to increase your performance by tapping into your real potential.How to determine whether the criticism or feedback you provide to your employees has a negative basis and not a productive one.The lie that pushes high-performers to excel and why we should all avoid it.As I mentioned at the end of the show, I’d love to hear what you think about this episode, as well as what other topics you’d be interested in hearing more about in upcoming episodes of my show.
