Key takeaways — The Body Keeps the Score
- ✓ Kilalanin ang Physiological Basis of Behavior, na nagpapakita na ang mga reaksyon ng iyong koponan sa stress ay madalas na resulta ng malalim na nakabaong mga biological na pattern sa halip na puro propesyonal na lohika.
- ✓ Bigyang-diin ang Psychological and Somatic Safety sa inyong organisasyon, dahil hindi makakagawa ang utak ng tao ng mataas na antas ng estratehikong pag-iisip kapag ang katawan ay nasa estado ng perceived threat.
- ✓ Isakatuparan ang Self-Regulation Techniques bilang isang pangunahing kasanayan sa pamumuno, gamit ang mindfulness at body-awareness upang mapanatili ang iyong executive presence at kalinawan sa panahon ng mahahalagang organisasyonal na krisis.
Key takeaways — Think and Grow Rich
- ✓ Magkaroon ng isang Tiiyak na Pangkalahatang Layunin para sa iyong samahan, na ang bawat desisyon at paggamit ng yaman ay nakatuon sa isang malinaw at nakakahikayat na bisyon ng tagumpay.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Master Mind Principle sa pamamagitan ng pagbuo ng isang grupo ng mga eksperto at tagapayo, upang makabuo ng kolektibong talino na higit pa sa kabuuan ng mga bahagi nito.
- ✓ Palakasin ang Di-matitinag na Pagsusumikap, na nauunawaan na ang kakayahang magpatuloy kahit sa harap ng pansamantalang kabiguan ay pangunahing katangian ng mga matagumpay kumpara sa iba.
