We can make better decisions by embracing dissent. Dissent forces us to question the status quo, consider more information, and engage in creative decision-making.

Überblick und Selbstdisziplin statt Chaos und Überforderung Wir kennen es alle: Die Steuererklärung ist fällig und der Chef wartet auf den Bericht, doch plötzlich muss ganz dringend das Bad geputzt werden. So stapeln sich die unerledigten Aufgaben, die To-do-Liste im Kopf wird immer länger und zum Energiefresser. Denn die unschöne Angewohnheit, die schwierigsten To-dos als Letztes anzugehen – oder überhaupt nicht – führt zu Stress, Überforderung und Schuldgefühlen. Doch Prokrastination ist keine Charaktereigenschaft, sondern eine antrainierte Verhaltensweise, die sich umlernen lässt.

Prinzipien, mit denen Sie Ihre Anpassungsfähigkeit trainieren. Anpassungsfähigkeit ist der entscheidende Erfolgsfaktor der Evolution auf unserem Planeten - das wissen wir seit Darwin. Und unsere Anpassungsfähigkeit ist in entscheidendem Maße dafür verantwortlich, dass wir Menschen uns als Spezies zu dem entwickeln konnten, was wir heute sind.

Research by Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and coauthor of Primal Leadership, has shown that emotional intelligence is a more powerful determinant of good leadership than technical competence, IQ, or vision. Influencing those around us and supporting our own well-being requires us to be self-aware, know when and how to regulate our emotional reactions, and understand the emotional responses of those around us. No wonder emotional intelligence has become one of the crucial criteria in hiring and promotion.
