The development of brain potential from the tangible to the intangible has long been the subject of study by different branches of knowledge, including what is known as neuroscience. As described by Zilman (2015), “Some neuroscientists focus on the fine structure of individual nerve cells or neurons. Others graph the biochemistry of the brain, studying how our billions of neurons produce and use thousands of different types of protein. "
This in order to optimize its use and care, explore each of its components to understand its response capacity, the evolution processes that have happened to it, those possible causes of its failures with disease, and the way in which This vital organ affects our behavior, among other things. Thus, the same author refers:
Scientists are learning so much about the brain today that it's easy to forget that for much of history we had no idea how it worked or even what it was. In the ancient world, doctors believed that the brain was made of phlegm. Aristotle saw it as a refrigerator that cooled the burning heart. From their time and throughout the Renaissance, anatomists declared that our reasoning, perceptions, emotions, and actions were all the result of "animal spirits": unknowable mysterious vapors that swirled through cavities in our heads and traveled through our bodies. / p)
Therefore, if it is precisely our brain that administers the energy translated into impulses that makes our body react, who makes us develop, then our awakening is a commitment to the reality that we need to give this organ the importance it deserves, for which we must generate a state of consciousness even of our very existence.
In this context, Acevedo (2014) makes reference that from the material the brain-mind in a first dimension, it will be the tangible component where biological operations are carried out that later translate into both life and behavior forms, this from the cognitive-behavioral neuroscience approach. Now, it is in the dimension of principles-values that the pillars of ethics will have to concentrate, that is, our conception of good and bad. Finally, it is in the most sublime dimension, in the world of the intangible, that decision-making occurs.
MIND -– PRINCIPLES AND VALUES - DECISION MAKING
In this order of ideas, the speaker expresses that the objective must be to add as many principles and values, distinguishing the need both to strengthen and to delve more specifically into the first ones, which will be those that lead us to seek a balance with the universe..
Hence the importance of modeling the human being in principles to change the perception of society, so if what is desired, for example, is people who are environmentally responsible, then it must promote that the care of the same as an action beyond what required as a way of life.
Likewise, this imminently leads us to rethink our scheme of values, what are those elements of life itself, to what are we adding value and the impact of these things on the way we operate in the socio-labor as well as in the way in which we make decisions.
Now, at the organizational level this reality is present when a committed and increasingly human management is increasingly aware that their daily practices are a reflection of their being and that, to be functional, they must invest in developing their emotional intelligence through self-knowledge and self-control or self-regulation in order to make sound decisions. On this, the Association of the United Nations in Venezuela (ANUV) (2008) describes
Self-regulation is about managing your own internal states, impulses and resources. This self-regulation comprises, in turn, five emotional skills:
- Self-control: Keeping emotions and harmful impulses under control; Reliability: Maintaining standards of honesty and integrity; Conscientiousness: Accepting responsibility for personal performance; Adaptability: Flexibility to react to changes; yInnovation: Be open and willing for novel ideas and approaches and new information. (s / p)
Given the above quote, it can be inferred that even when there are biological responses (cortisol segregation, for example) that could have a direct impact on our mood, the state of consciousness about the situation that generates it will allow us to approach it in a more rational way. And even effective.
Therefore, management must take into account their reactions to their surroundings, as evidenced by the study by the Japanese Dr. Masaru Emoto based on the analysis of the formation of water crystals in response to different external stimuli, specifically the music.
Which leads us to think that we are much more than a cluster of biological responses, we are emotions and energy and therefore we should explore what other disciplines have usually studied, aiming at integrating knowledge, science, and experiences in the search for a better quality of life in society.
