Apparently that important organ located in our skull between our eyes is quite a powerful thing and yet we humans only use a small percentage of its power and ability.

Engineered Pasta
If you have worked a day in your life, it is fairly safe to say you have worked alongside others. In some cases, those experiences have been enjoyable while others have not. You may have had to endure an arrogant selfish boss while other situations have been filled with giving collaborative coworkers.
We seem to enjoy looking at things “on paper” but they get all wobbly when we add the human element and often it’s because we are unclear about the mandate. Often there is a struggle among conflicting agendas or someone comes in and plays the “I’m the boss” card. None of these scenarios are effective, productive, or long lasting business success models. However, sadly they are far too common.
But what happens when you ask a group of people to build a structure out of spaghetti, string, and a marshmallows?

Our Brain 1-2-3
It’s often said that we use a small percentage of the potential of our brain. There are things we can overcome, do, create, and accomplish, if we access additional information and abilities within it and ourselves. Teamwork, trust, and collaboration are becoming even more important in the workplace. Competencies are important, abilities are critical, but where companies find success is when the connections between us strengthen.

Less Than 10%
It’s often said that we use a small percentage of the potential of our brain. There are things we can overcome, do, create, and accomplish, if we access additional information and abilities within it and ourselves. Teamwork, trust, and collaboration are becoming even more important with a global pandemic that will be in our lives for a year or two.
Competencies are important, abilities are critical, but where companies find success is when the connections between us strengthen.

Let's Have Some Toast
I’m preparing for a big meeting this week and thought I’d step back and refresh a bit. I wanted to ensure I completely opened my mind for the discussion. The company has a critical and exciting project to complete. They are meeting with me because of my experience and abilities and I want to be a part of it.
I love building stuff with great people. It's a rush to see teamwork kick ass on a new project. It’s fun to bring everyone’s ideas into the discussion, but this was about preparing the inner me for this meeting.
After some searching, I found Tom Wujec and his explanation of how we explain the complex concept of making toast. I'll leave the toasters and sticky notes at home for this meeting, but this is a great reminder about the power of collaboration.
