Overcoming Cynicism in the New Normal

One of the leading causes that hinders our growth, as well as our personal and financial success is cynicism. In recent years, many have experienced a marked increase in cynicism, and due to social media... possibly envy.

Whatโ€™s different about Neuroscience Behavior & Strengths Assessments?

There are many jobs that are performance based. Neuroscience has been proven to provide the insights necessary to help improve performance with specific way to help support a growth mindset while minimizing the barriers of a fixed mindset. 

Think about the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. People who exhibit the traits of the growth mindset will keep going in adversity and find ways to get the job done. People with a fixed mindset will hit a wall and give up or just fail to try. When we use behavior or strengths assessments on their own, neither can tell you how the individual will perform and what thinking is causing the lack of performance. Have you ever hired someone who was supposed to be the perfect fit, but something just didn’t work out or performance problems developed after the 90-day probationary time frame?

Champs Use Neuroscience To Acquire and Develop High Performers

With this change in our working environment, you may notice that the capabilities and skills needed for sales success in the work from home (WFH) environment are different than your “old” A-Player profile.  The pressure is building and the need to make the right decision or reply to “what now” and “how do we generate revenue in record time” is apparent.  Smart Leaders are turning to neuroscience to make better decision, reduce stress and develop better thinking in their teams in order to meet the challenges of 2020 and beyond.

As a young sales leader I was given 3 main goals by the president upon being hired as the Sales Manager for a fortune 500.  These goals were written on the corner of a torn piece of paper.  They were then, and still are, the top goals for sales leaders who are given the monumental task to increase revenue.

  1. Grow new business
  2. Increase existing business
  3. Train up or move out underperformers

The Mindset Of The "New A-Player" Sales Executive

Do you know whether or not you have a mindset that is helping you to get ahead or if you have negative thoughts impacting your performance?  There are many jobs that are performance based and knowing will help elevate your performance by 10-30%. 

The Think-X profile is unique in its ability to tell if the individual will be able to perform given their current thinking and mindset. Think about the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset for example. People who exhibit the traits of the growth mindset will keep going in adversity and find ways to get the job done. People with a fixed mindset will hit a wall and give up. When it comes to behavior or strengths assessments, neither of these can tell you how they will perform and what thinking is causing the lack of performance. Have you ever hired someone who was supposed to be the perfect fit, but something just didn’t work out or performance problems developed after the 90-day...
