Senior Partners averaging 19 years with the firm, and 10 years in management.
Using competency data from the “others”in a 360 assessment, and
financial performance of their accountsfor two years later.
The Business Case
Tipping or Trigger Point Analysis
Latest in competency assessment
How much of a competency is sufficient (triggers)

Exercise
The Goal and Action Management or Self-Management Cluster (I.e., Efficiency Orientation and Initiative)
The Self-Regulation Cluster (I,e, Self-control and Adaptability)
The People Management or Social Skills Cluster (I.e.,Empathy, Networking, Developing Others)
The Analytic Reasoning or Cognitive Skills Cluster (I.e.,Systems Thinking, Pattern Recognition)
Rank order the clusters in terms of their impact on financial contribution to the firm.

Limbic brain system deals with passion,emotions, memory, and learning. Amygdala focuses on passion and meaning.Hippocampus focuses on memory and its context, and provides neurogenesis.
Sensory messages go to the Thalamus.It is connected to the amygdala through one synapse.It takes multiple synapses to reach the neocortex.
From this we developed the neocortex, whichallowed nuance in complex thought and emotion.
When an experience occurs, at best we feel and think at the same time, in most situations, we feel before we think!

1. ~ 1992: We feel before we think.
2. 1998: Neurogenesis in humans-- We can develop new neural tissue throughout life. But stress stops the process through secretion of of cortisol which leadsto loss of memory and inhibiting new neural growth.
3. 2000: AsymmetryThe Left Prefrontal Cortex lights up when we think of
hope, possibilities and positive excitement.The Right Prefrontal Cortex lights up when we think of
criticism, obstacles, defensiveness, and depressingexperiences, which also produce the stress reactionwhich detracts from our memory and neural growth.
