Stop Wasting Your Development Dollars

Each year, $12 billion is spent on leadership development and $58 billion on employee development, yet 62 percent of businesses report that they are without the skills they need to grow and succeed. Few trainers and educators understand how the brain develops and what it actually takes to create new habits of mind. Often it includes changing emotionally driven behaviors and unconscious habits of mind that get in the way of development and behavioral change. While we love to learn about how to improve and develop ourselves, taking in such information is a passive activity, while actually changing our behavior is an experiential one. Based on an integration of the latest findings in brain development and century old personality type theory, we now understand that these two activities are governed by different areas of the brain.
