"These days, the trick is to leave things out and only do what counts."
Emails. Meetings. People. Our everyday working lives are governed by a massive flood of information and stimuli. Not getting distracted but staying focused is a real art. The good news is that our guest in this SMP LeaderTalks episode knows that this art can be learned. And by using a single keyword that leads to less stress and more productivity: 'No.'
"For the brain, 'less is more'."
Friederike Fabritius is a leading expert in the field of neuroleadership, author, speaker - and a convinced naysayer. Because for Fabritius, every 'no' at the right moment means a 'yes' to her goals. In an interview with Georgiy Michailov, she explains how we can achieve a state of flow at work by making conscious decisions so that we can focus on the important tasks.
"People need different working conditions to achieve their optimum."
The pair also talk about the importance of neurodiversity in the workplace. About how different brain types need different working conditions. Why traditional diversity initiatives often don't have the desired effect. And how, by taking neurobiological differences into account, we can build a high-performing team of people who enjoy their work.
