BlackRock CEO Is Wrong: Remote Work Productivity Reduces Inflation (Wise Decision Maker Guide 83)

Greetings Decision maker,

Here are a few pieces of content that I found valuable and hope you will, too:

“Curiosity: we’re studying the brain to help you harness it” (article). Research has identified three “types” of curiosity: epistemic, social and perceptual. Epistemic curiosity involves the desire to acquire knowledge and fill gaps in understanding, social curiosity is an interest in other people’s thoughts, actions and feelings, while perceptual curiosity is an interest in sensory information. Curiosity can be associated with risk-taking, thrill-seeking and stress tolerance, but it also improves memory and enhances learning.
“Brain-computer interfaces could allow soldiers to control weapons with their thoughts and turn off their fear – but the ethics of neurotechnology lags behind the science” (article). Researchers are exploring the use of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for tasks such as controlling weapon systems, suppressing fear and anxiety, and directly controlling their behavior. This article talks about the need for - and describes several types of - ethical guidelines to evaluate proposed neurotechnologies before deploying them.
“Forgetfulness: Why your mind going blank can be a benefit” (article). We've all had those frustrating moments when we struggle to recall someone's name, or a key bit of information stays for too long on the tip of your tongue. It turns out these momentary lapses may actually be good for your memory.

"Dr. Gleb Tsipursky presented 'Seizing Leadership in Hybrid and Remote Work via Cognitive Science for IT and Auditing Professionals' to members of the Northwest Ohio Chapters of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) and Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). Represented were senior executive leaders and practitioners from throughout the region. The audience was very appreciative of the informative content and inspired by Dr. Gleb’s engaging and dynamic speaking style. Everyone benefited from the real-life, useful 'takeaways' that they could implement into their own work life right away. The feedback was universally positive with many people commenting that they had received tremendous value in return for their time in attending the three-hour program. There have been several requests that Dr. Gleb be invited back again soon."
