Boston, MA, June 04, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Interested in creating an organization that operates at peak levels of performance? Understanding and applying basic concepts uncovered from the study of the brain can alter the effectiveness of any organization. A once widely-held belief was that people with higher IQs had brains that worked harder, generated more energy, and consumed more glucose (the brain fuel). However, researchers have since proven that exactly the opposite is true. Surprisingly, smarter people have cooler, more subdued brain scans than those with lower IQs. Smart brains are more efficient brains. Consequently, using this theory in business can create more efficient organizations.
"Studies have shown that when we are inexperienced, we have to make a conscious effort to think about what we are doing," says Stephen Shapiro, Innovation Leader and author of Personality Poker. ( http://PersonalityPokerBook.com ) "But later, after we've become more adept, much of what initially took effort becomes more automatic. If we apply this knowledge of the brain to how we run our businesses, it will operate more effortlessly."
"The key to efficiency is doing what comes naturally," explains Shapiro. "As an individual, understanding your innovation style, the style that comes most naturally to you, will help you focus your attention on activities where you can be most efficient. These are the areas where you are innately 'smarter' and therefore, your brain operates better. When everyone in your organization focuses on his or her unique innovation style, you end up with a 'smarter' organization that creates and implements new ideas as naturally as breathing."
Stephen Shapiro's recent book and personality tool, Personality Poker can help individuals and teams alike to identify their natural innovation style. This awareness ensures that each team member is focused on the most appropriate activities to maximize throughput, decrease inefficiencies and fashion an intelligent organization.
