Your brain is wired to utilize its own nonconscious autopilot to process eleven million bytes of information per second while it only consciously processes forty bytes. Using your own biases, your brain’ s autopilot is faster than a supercomputer, but for leaders under stress, it often dismisses important information.

Now, leaders can learn how to unleash the power of their supercomputers before their brain’ s autopilot slams their company into a stationary object.
Of all the business concepts and books that I have investigated, the Brain-Based Leader Certificate course( BBL) is the one I recommend you start with first. It is the real starting line. This course explains the neuroscience of why we are predisposed to have a poor relationship with feedback. In my book, Transform Your Company, I describe how an unhealthy relationship with feedback prevents business improvement concepts from working. It is a learned skill to update the brain’ s
