Have you ever made a dumb management

decision?

Sometimes your brain is out to get you

Page 4: Slow down to go fast

We have 2 very different brains

“New” brain - higher-level reasoning abilities

“Old” brain – instinctual, instantaneous response (helped us survive back when we had to quickly recognize & respond to predators & other threats)

Page 5: Slow down to go fast

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.

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.
