The Beautifully Simple Model that Gets RESULTS
Abstract
Results can be considered a consequence of behaviors. The way we behave is dependent on the internal environment of our brain and the external environment that we are in. In order to change our behaviors we can make informed changes to internal and external environments. These interactions are complex, however we can isolate and share some grounding principles taken from scientific research. For example, we know that sleep has a big impact on the internal environment of our brain. We know that a sleep-deprived person tends to behave in a different way, normally a less desirable way, and being sleep deprived makes it less likely you get the results you’re looking for. However, many professional services organizations have a culture where going without sleep is a norm (Figure 1.1).
