Neuroscientists and psychologists are debating on what really happens to the human brain when tough executive decisions are to be made. Some of these decisions weigh on ethics, consequences and people matters. At times such decisions need to be made for the benefit of the broader organization, that will have adverse impacts on some people. A lot of these decision-makers then suffer stress from the years of deciding for others. Fortunately, certain corporate training sessions designed towards mindfulness and executive coaching do relieve a part of this stress. These exercises help individuals to come out of their familiar domains and start exploring new ones. This helps refresh the mind. So, an HR expert may be highly experienced at talent recruitment, but dabbling in some merger and acquisition activity can add an extra dimension. On each such impact, the mind is affected by two recurring patterns- High Road and Low Road. The former is strategic, while the latter is tactical. A sustained effort at mindfulness does wonders for enhancing the Wise Advocate or the High Road.
