Improve strategy, influence, and decision-making by understanding your brain | Evan LaPointe (founder of CORE Sciences)
- Evan LaPointe is the founder of CORE Sciences, which teaches companies and individuals how our brains work and how that translates to improved collaboration, better products, faster decision-making, and more growth.
- Understanding the different systems of the brain can help you become more influential, increase productivity and creativity, and improve your vision and strategy skills.
- Structure meetings with diamond thinking to generate diverse ideas before focusing on decision-making.
- Creating a supportive “habitat” and team environment that values different ways of thinking can prevent issues like excessive focus on ROI or rigid adherence to procedures.
- To build better relationships at work, focus on being a positive experience, assess and build trust at three levels and encourage open, honest discussions about differing beliefs and opinions.
- Enhancing focus can be achieved by allocating time for activities that foster daydreaming and creativity, designating specific times for focused, high-output tasks, and setting aside dedicated periods for deep, intensive work.
- Stop assuming people are similar to you. Instead, build the muscle for getting along with people very different from you.
- The brain has three main systems: safety, reward, and purpose. Understanding how these systems work can help you optimize your own performance and better motivate your team.
- When faced with a problem or decision, identify which “department” of your brain you’re using, and actively choose the department to consult based on the problem at hand.
- Reverse engineer your desired outcome to understand the inputs and processes that lead to that outcome.
