The training this week has been great. But yesterday morning I woke up 05.10. Went up for lugging the car wheels. It was snowing and raining. With almost no frost, and no ice the friction to the ground was a fact. After just 10 minutes my inner conversation started. -Put the f***ng wheels in the trench and go home and have a nice good sleep.  But as usual my mind did won the victory, and just after 2 hours I was back home. Satisfied and happy.

Twenty kilos in the backpack and increased to lugging 30 kilo wheels, it was a tough workout were the mind have to win over body. Those inner conversations develops me:-)

So this week it has been 9 workouts within 10 hours and 30 minutes totally, good work.

A new research from the Max Planck-institution has proven that a synchronisation between the leader and a follower is a fact. The brain activity between a leaders and follower are more in sync then between two followers. So far the research has got its focus on what and how a leader communicate, and not the underlying process that affects the communication. The conclusion from experiment shows that just following the brain-activity we can se who the one who is the leader within just 23 seconds in a group.

So what will be the learning from this:

1. It will not be how much you communicate that is important. It will be how good you will communicate. The quality will be more important than the quantity.

2. The target should be to create sync in the communication. You as leader should strive for being on the same side as the counterpart. Either on your side or at her/his side. Get sync in the communication.

3. When making decision, it will not be authority, it will be the sync that determines the decision. Here you as a mature leader you have to understand how the decision will affect the people who will be affected of the result of it.

4. Address emotional threats for decreasing the cooperation. When the brain is uncooperative, the social emotions will be activated. That is the foundation of a well-functioning cooperation. When people experience threats, the brains ”alarm” system will be activated. The amygdalae register a threat and limit our ability to cooperate.

So if we all work with ”brain-sync” it all will be easier.

And on Wednesday there will be a bit about Via Ferrata. And at the end some music.

See ya soon.
