Innovative workplaces are nurtured by visionary infinite minded leaders.
These are made up of “trusting teams” where employees trust each other and feel safe in each other’s company.The collaborative atmosphere emanating out of the safe environment encourages members to gel together as a team and make innovation happen getting rid of the feeling of failure.
Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book titled “Together is Better”
Our human brain is oriented to feel comfortable given a sense of purpose and direction.
Truly great leaders know this scientific fact and hence to lead a “trusting team” they show their team a sense of purpose.
Once our brain understands about a specific purpose and direction , it is creative enough to devise innovative means to reach the destination overcoming obstacles that can come in the way.
The sense of purpose and direction provided separates great leaders from the ordinary “placeholder” leaders.
As Simon Sinek mentions in his book Together is Better –
“To go FAST go ALONE , To go FAR go TOGETHER”
The choice is entirely ours
Research has proven that short naps between 10 to 25 minutes in the sfterycan be highly beneficial
They have TWO key benefits namely

Daniel Pink mentions the same in his book When
Great Leaders want to see people around them as STARs rather than craving STARDOM
Oxytocin is the fulfillment related chemical that flows through our veins.
Oxytocin flows when we get fulfillment by doing something selflessly.
Oxytocin can help increase immunity and fights stress
The flow of oxytocin cannot be tricked and true fulfillment needs to happen for this to flow.
The three most essential aspects are –
1) SYNCHING to the BOSS of the group
2) SYNCHING to the TRIBE
3) SYNCHING to HEART
Daniel Pink mentions the same in his book When
Research has proven that singing in CHORUS calms HEART RATES and boosts ENDORPHIN levels
Daniel Pink mentions the same in his book When
“While complying can be an effective strategy for physical survival, it’s a lousy one for personal fulfillment. Living a satisfying life requires more than simply meeting the demands of those in control.
Yet in our offices and our classrooms we have way too much compliance and way too little engagement. The former might get you
through the day, but only the latter will get you through the night.”
Daniel Pink in his best selling book Drive makes us realize the fact that all human beings have an INNER DRIVE which needs to be liberated.
“Human beings have an innate inner drive to be autonomous, self-determined, and connected to one another. And when that drive is liberated, people achieve more and live richer lives.”
