Susan Britton MCC argues that understanding how the brain works is key to building more humane workplaces. When people stay out of the stress-induced red zone, they can access creativity and innovation instead of triggering self-preservation responses. Workplaces that work with the brain's natural tendencies, not against them, foster empathy and collective progress.
if you know that that's how your brain operates, it adds a little bit of ease because you understand it. And if people can understand how to work with their brains as opposed to against their brains, then I am just so hopeful for life, for humanity, for working cultures where people try to understand one another and treat each other humanely. And keep people out of the red zone so that you can be in that place of creativity because your brain is not going to create. It's not going to innovate. It's not going to iterate when it's in that state of I need to protect myself. That's what I'm on this planet for. It's like, can we find a better way to treat people, to work, to, yeah.
