Thought Tweet #859.5

by Rick Baker
On Oct 31, 2013

Thought Tweet #859.5 When we behave - when we take action - our behaviour alters our brain…maybe only a little, maybe much more than a little.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

It depends on the situation, the nature of our behaviour [our action], and the results/consequences/implications.

This is the key to replacing Bad Habits with Good Habits.

Thought Tweet #859 Few situations provide the opportunity to do big things; all situations provide the opportunity to do small things.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Business leaders want people to get it and they want people to step up.

Business leaders want illustrations of insight and exertion of confident action.

Those are the things business leaders want to influence.

Thought Tweet #858.5 Habits are like rivers. If your leave them alone they more or less follow the path of least resistance.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Habits are so integral to our success, we cannot leave them to chance. We must work on them before they work on us.

Thought Tweet #858 Our fingers naturally point outwards. So, it takes much effort to point at ourselves when it's time to place the blame. 

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

This must be evolution in the works!

We enjoy all the benefits of opposing thumbs and blame-pointing fingers.

Thought Tweet #857.5 Strange as it may seem, people shut down when they know you will put down their ideas.


The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Try putting an end to receiving input then vetoing ideas and shutting people down.

Even better, try putting an end to asking for input then vetoing ideas and shutting people down...that one really burns people.

Thought Tweet #857

by Rick Baker

Thought Tweet #857 It is better to believe in people's ability to change than in people's fate for the status quo.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Some people believe people cannot change. They envision a future of status quo or some other fate.

Some people believe people can change for the better. They envision bright and better futures.

Leaders embrace the latter belief.
