Why Extroverts' Brains Are Different From Introverts' | Tolero Solutions: Organizational Improvement | Scoop.it

How are you wired?

Anne Egros's curator insight, June 16, 4:37 AM

 

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.”

John Michel's curator insight, June 8, 9:27 PM

A new survey conducted by global management consulting firm Booz & Co. shows that a striking majority of corporate leaders are not able to keep their priorities straight. They are also pursuing strategies they don’t believe in, and many of their strategies fail to build on the things their companies are especially good at, compared with competitors. It’s like everything that can go wrong already has gone wrong for them.


David Hain's curator insight, June 9, 2:05 AM

Fascinating!

AlGonzalezinfo's curator insight, June 9, 8:32 AM

Very interesteing concept shared here about coherence ~ the fit between value creation for customers, its capabilities, and its products and services.  Thanks David.

 

From the article ~

 

How can companies be more successful and executives less frustrated? They need to find what Booz calls “coherence.” That means a fit between the way a company creates value for customers, its capabilities and its products and services. Not surprisingly, at coherent firms, 57% of survey-takers said they enjoyed above-industry-average revenue growth. At firms that were rated “incoherent,” only 18% reported growth above the industry average, and 36% of that group reported growth below the industry average.

Booz has run this study before. Last year it got similar results, though this year was even worse.  For instance, last year 53% of managers didn’t feel their company’s strategy would lead to success. That’s a poor showing, but not as bad as this year’s 64%.
