Activating the Positive Emotions of a Winning Culture
Many leaders and organizations are failing because they switch off the part of employees’ brains needed for innovation and resilience. Successful leaders know how to activate employees’ neurological “Seeking Systems” which creates a natural impulse to explore our worlds, and learn about our environments.
This seeking system produces dopamine, and positive emotions like enthusiasm, zest, and curiosity. We will study three low-cost ways that you can use to employees’ people’s Seeking Systems:
- Express unique strengths and perspectives;
- Prompt curiosity and learning through exploration;
- Find a story about the why of work beyond the money.
