All leaders want three things from their teams: increased performance, increased innovation, and increased emotional engagement. Yet as leaders we often unintentionally send our teams into the part of their brain--their Stuck State--where optimal performance is tremendously comprised.
The Stuck State is where we are triggered and in fight/flight/freeze, with no access to our greatest resources. The Smart State is where we have full access to creativity, problem-solving, innovation, higher consciousness, emotional engagement. It's essential to learn techniques to avoid sending our teams into their Stuck State and also to help them shift into, and stay in, their Smart State.
