How embracing your emotions will accelerate your career
We make decisions in the emotional center of our brain. We use logic to try to figure out how we're going to feel. There's no such thing as a logical decision. That idea is like, I'm just going to be logical and just make a logical decision, it doesn't. Neurologically, it's just untrue.

If you really fully understand the problem, you know the solution. All you have to do is really fully understand the voice in your head through a series of experiments and the whole thing goes away.

The atomic structure of a company is the meetings and the decisions. If you really start unpacking how the decisions are made where people are frustrated in the decision-making process, you're going to find exactly the problems in the company.
