- Synopsis
- Are there people working for you who feel stressed out? Overloaded? Disconnected? Afraid? These are not "problem" employees; they don't have disciplinary issues, and they're not untalented. But they're not achieving at their peak level in the pressure-cooker that is today's workplace. In this chapter, bestselling author and practicing psychiatrist Edward Hallowell describes in detail the five steps of the Cycle of Excellence and explains how you, as a manager, can use brain science to help your people-your stars as well as your stalwarts-perform at high levels every day, over years of time. Key to Hallowell's approach is the plasticity of the human brain: it can develop, adapt, and change-at any age. Using rich examples from his own work with individuals and his study of companies like Google, Whole Foods, and Cisco Systems, Hallowell explains how you can promote intellectual vigor, encourage positive emotional energy, minimize stress, and put people in a state of "flow," where they can perform at their absolute best. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 1 of "Shine: Using Brain Science to Get the Best from Your People."
