Have you ever noticed leaders spend a lot of time talking about talent, only to make the same mistakes over and over again? Few things in business are as costly and disruptive as unexpected talent departures.

This study looks interesting and raises some questions:
Can we effectively link personality to brain structure and neurochemistry ?
What if you are neither a strong extrovert nor a strong introvert ?
I also think there are other factors than extrovertion/introvertion that are impacting the way people behave in various contexts and their "rewarding mechanisms"
Anne Egros's comment,
June 16, 1:24 PM
To quote Carl Jung, the psychologist who coined the terms introversion and extraversion*, “there is no such things as a pure extravert or a pure introvert. Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum.”

The study confirmed that in today's competitive market, innovation can turn the head of the happiest employee. Two thirds of employees said they would leave a role if they were targeted with a job that offered more innovative benefits, while 55% would leave a role they are happy in if approached in a particularly innovative way.

It's safe to say most people are addicted to meetings. It doesn't quite make sense, especially from a boss's perspective. Meetings are expensive. The hours your employees spend in meetings are hours when they're not working.

A helpful look at meetings - and how to make them more productive.
(From the article): The Centre for Economics and Business Research reported that office workers spend an average of four hours per week in meetings. These same workers reported feeling like half of that time is wasted. Additionally, a Salary.com survey reported 47 percent of workers say meetings are the No. 1 time-waster at the office.
Obviously, not all meetings are unnecessary and unproductive. I spoke with project management and productivity expert Tony Wong to find out how to transform meetings and increase productivity. Here are his tips:

In 1995, Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More than IQ by Daniel Goleman was published. The introduction of Emotional Intelligence (EI) generated a great deal of excitement and hope. Nearly twenty years later, ...
David Hain's insight:
Writing about the future of EI, Joshua Freedman writes, “The third decade of emotional intelligence is about application. These are the foundational skills for human interaction, so in this third decade we’ll see emotional intelligence woven more deeply and powerfully into the fabric of our institutions and lives. It’s time not just to know, or to value but to practice.”

Daniel Goleman has written that the third decade of EI must be about expanding its application. The goals are noble and worthy. But are organizations and their leaders really ready to accept the implications of a workplace that reflects the values of an EI enlightened workforce? Delete the scoop?

If you really want to build an organization where extreme customer satisfaction is on the top of everyone’s list, you can’t mandate it: you have to do the hard but critical organization-wide work of making it easy, rewarding and normal for every employee to behave that way every day. And then you can all take a well-earned break to count your embarrassingly large profits. Delete the scoop?

we spoke with Paul Zak, aka Dr Love, who is professor of economic psychology and management at Claremont Graduate University. He believes that increased levels of oxytocin in the brain can help to make better functioning organisations.
You're clearly a proponent of empathy as a powerful tool in business. But how important are emotions like empathy, love and trust alongside more "classically accepted" drivers of business success like aggression and ruthlessness in building modern businesses?
Zak - The leadership literature goes back and forth on whether empathy is an important quality in managers. My work on the neuroscience of organizations shows empathy as a vital part of management and as guiding both information acquisition from colleagues and from treating colleagues in appropriate ways. by Robin Hough
