Attention Density… Brain Stuff, Part 3

by Tom Miller

Given that the physiology of our brain pushes back against new activity and change – how do we make progress when new ideas, methods or behaviors need to occur?

Interesting finding number three…  The key to changing behaviors is Attention Density. If we create enough focus around new ideas, we make connections.  Coupling a stimulating environment with structured activity leads to more nervous system connections being formed and generally higher levels of function.

The highest and best use of your organizations RRS is to help create a stimulating environment that recognizes and rewards the behaviors that are valued within the organization.  In the next post, I’ll outline an ideal RRS and how the components compliment the need for our brains to process change.

By the way…  I realize that these “brain posts” have placed RRS in the context of a change management tool.  An RRS functions in other capacities as well, but my point has been to single out the physiological limitations our brains place on us when we encounter change; so I haven’t veered from that course relative to RRS.
