Brain Development

What is the most important part of our body in relation to leadership? Undoubtedly, it is the brain. What we learn in leadership abilities and skills is nothing when we compare to the brain as our emotions, intellect, knowledge are all residing in the brain. Management gurus always say `think positively and look at the bright side of things' is nothing but the programming of our brains. If we programme our brains to think positively, then it will send positive signals to the body as well and we will respond to the matter at hand positively. See how powerful the brain is. Positive affirmations go a long way in programming the mind as well. That is why we have to tell ourselves `We have a great day ahead'.

High energy and positive leaders effortlessly transfers optimism to his followers while the negatives ones wear down their peers.

There is 1 interesting advertisement that I recall relating to the brain. There is this infant formula which boosts the brain development by connecting the neurons. The more connection it makes, the better the brain development for the child. Interestingly enough, our brains actually gets better the more we use it. Those who are constantly learning and actively challenging their minds live longer than some who don't. The secret recipe for maintaining a sharp and productive life is to spur new neuron growth. Remember an idle mind is the devil's playground.

The brain thinks in picture not words. That is why pictures are broadly use in adult learning as it leaves an impression in the brain. Schoolgoing children are also using pictures to depict an action.

I recalled attending a training course and that was the first time I heard of the word `brain food'. We were given raisins as brain food by the trainer. Basically brain food helps us to think better and improve our memory.

The brain is 80% water. Drinking lots of water keeps it hydrated and listening to baroque music increases our ability to learn.

So maintain a positive outlook by first actively engage ourselves in brain exercises.
