Have you ever made a dumb management
decision?

Sometimes your brain is out to get you
We have 2 very different brains
“New” brain - higher-level reasoning abilities
www.TheHumanFactor.biz www.MoreThanaMinute.com
“Old” brain – instinctual, instantaneous response (helped us survive back when we had to quickly recognize & respond to predators & other threats)
The old brain is a superb pattern-recognizer looking for data to support what we already know to be true about the world & often actively rejecting info that contradicts our view of the world.

We don’t believe what we see… We see what we already believe…
…and we seek constantly to prove ourselves right

That’s how we get caught totally off guard when our best customer defects to a competitor.
And that’s how we never see the outsider who sweeps in & steals market share with a new product or service we never imagined.

every now & then.
Take a moment to clear the mind & reset.
Look up, look around, ponder, wonder & explore.
Ask the occasional “what if?” question without expecting an immediate answer.

about what you're thinking about.
Question some of your thinking processes. Change perspective. Challenge assumptions.
Challenge the need to have the one right answer that we always strive so hard to find.

on what's going on around you.
Focus on winning. Constantly.
Get crystal clear on what winning means for your business & you personally.
Move towards it instead of just running in circles.

Slowing down to go fast may seem counterintuitive. But running in place, no matter how fast, won’t get you anywhere.
