BRAIN BASICS

LIMBIC: FEELINGS BEHAVIOR DECISION MAKING BONDING

NEO: RATIONALIZE LANGUAGE LOGIC DEDUCTION

– A D A P T E D F R O M " S T A R T W I T H W H Y " , S I M O N S I N E K -

Talking about a shared mission or dream will ensure you are talking directly to the part of the brain that controls decision making, trust and

loyalty. After that, the facts and figures are used to rarionalize. The shared value or dream already

made us decide: i want to be part of this..

BEHAVIORAL TRIGGERS: KEY TO ENGAGEMENT

PRACTIP

"AS A SCRUMMASTER, I WANT MY TEAMS TO LAUGH AND ENJOY MORE, SO THE PROGRAM WILL INCREASE ITS AGILITY” "IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE AGILITY OF MY PROGRAM, AS A SCRUMMASTER, I WANT TO MAKE MY TEAMS LAUGH AND ENJOY MORE" WHICH IS WHY WE SAY: START A USER STORY/REQUIREMENT WITH THE "IN ORDER TO” CLAUSE..

PRACTIP

CONSIDER THE TIPS OF WORLD CLASS DEBATERS START WITH A COMMON CAUSE BUILD ON THAT WITH ARGUMENTS USE BRIDGES TO CATCH THE ATTENTION

FEELINGS

TRUST LOYALTY COMMITMENT CARE

INCREASE WHEN PEOPLE SHARE A MISSION OR A LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM..

SELF DIRECTION ALSO MEANS YOUR BRAIN HAS TO ALWAYS ASK: "DO I AGREE?".

BY STARTING WITH WHY, THE ANSWER WILL BE

MORE OFTEN YES...

AGREE TO DISAGREE L

WHAT CREATES WORK PRESSURE

PRACTIP

•  TIMEBOXES ARE THE PRESSURE

•  PLAYING IT SMART OVER WORKING IT HARD

•  EXAMPLE: “LOOK AT WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED, I AM PROUD OF THE TEAM” WILL DO BETTER FOR THE STRESS SYSTEM THAN “GREAT WORK, WELL DONE, KEEP UP THE HARD WORK”.

PRACTIP
