One of the most commonly shared (and seriously flawed) beliefs is that simply spending time on something will generate positive results. High-quality, focused energy is necessary to achieving results. The key to almost all of our problems, more fundamental even than poor energy management, is faulty storytelling, because it's storytelling that drives the way we gather and spend our energy.

<description><![CDATA[Emotions are critical to business success because they drive behaviors. Companies that achieve an emotional buy-in from consumers and employees will have a competitive advantage in a world of increasing commoditization. A growing body of scientific evidence reveals that subconscious feelings drive decisions, up to 95% of which are made through the brain's emotion centers. Psychologists, neuroscientists and behavioral economists now agree that leaders who fail to understand how emotions drive actions will ultimately fail.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There's new research that says the number one method for keeping your brain healthy is to create a healthy environment for it to thrive in. You can't do that without being physically active. Yes, that means exercising. It turns out that the same things that keep your heart healthy, keep your brain in good shape. Before you dismiss this article as coming from another exercise nut, let's look at the research. Getting your heart rate up through physical exercise actually helps build new brain tissue. Most of the studies concur that elevating your heart rate (at least three to four times a week for 30 minutes) increases levels of a protein called Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor. BDNF is so powerful in building new brain cells it's being termed the Miracle-Gro for the brain.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[You would think that bad business results would be enough to shake people out of complacency, but complacency is more common than we think. In the current economic climate, you might assume that workers would be too worried to be complacent. But that's not true. Because people will do whatever possible to alleviate their anxieties and worries, they go to any lengths to avoid discomfort. Usually that means, don't rock the boat, hang on to what used to work. So it's only human nature to be complacent. When 70% of change efforts fail, it's because people never felt a sufficient sense of urgency, according to John Kotter, author of a Sense of Urgency.]]></description>
