Episode 4 - Conflict Resolution & Leadership Ethics: A Neurobiological Approach
In this episode, we discuss:
The Internal Tug-of-War: Why our brains give us conflicting signals during “great opportunities” and how to manage that internal argument.
The Science of Bias: Why high-level leaders are often the last to see a conflict of interest and how to fix your “blind spots”.
The “Middle Man” Struggle: How 2ICs and Middle Managers can escape “survival mode” and improve communication when the boss isn’t being clear.
Speaking Truth to Power: How to challenge a Founder or CEO without triggering their “fight-or-flight” response.
Winning vs. Integrity: The neurobiology of the “short-term win” and why trading trust for targets is a biological dead-end.
The Golden Rule: Michael shares his singular, non-negotiable rule for managers leading through a crisis.
About 21 Triangles: We translate neurobiological research and behavioural science into everyday organisational practice. We believe in evidence over “elevator pitches” and deep research over populist soundbites. Explore our assessments and training:
Episode 3: The Science of A-Players: Why Your "Gut Feeling" is Costing You Millions
Stop gambling on your next hire. If you’re still hiring based on a “good vibe” and a polished resume, you’re leaving your company’s future to chance.
In Episode 3 of the 21 Triangles Podcast, founder Michael dives deep into the high-stakes world of recruitment. With turnover costs skyrocketing and “A-players” harder to find than ever, we strip away the traditional hiring myths and replace them with a science-backed, NEURO-M approach. We discuss why the “interview mask” is so effective at fooling even the best managers and how to use neurobiological filters to attract talent that doesn’t just “fill a seat” but drives long-term organisational health.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why “gut feeling” is a neurobiological trap in interviews.
The difference between a “good interviewee” and a high-pressure performer.
How to build an employer image that naturally repels the wrong fit.
The hidden “trust tax” and cultural cost of a bad hire.
One “Neuro-smart” change you can make to your hiring process tomorrow.
Episode 2: The Brain Science of Motivation & Goals
Why do high-performing teams suddenly stall? Why do smart people stick to failing goals? In Episode 2 of 21 Triangles, we dive deep into the neurobiology of the workplace. We’re moving beyond “hustle culture” to understand the 4-step flowchart that governs every action your team takes: Stress → Motivation → Goals → Behaviour.
Episode 1: The Future of Hiring is in the Brain
In our first episode, we dive into the principles behind the recruitment solutions we offer.
You’ll learn:
Why traditional hiring methods fail to predict on-the-job behaviour and leadership resilience.
How we combine extensive recruitment experience with behavioural psychology to make hiring decisions with a level of confidence you’ve never had before.
A deeper look at the power of our exclusive NEURO-M Candidate Assessments—tools that measure a candidate’s subconscious motivation, temperament, and likely behaviour under pressure.
We’re not about filling gaps; we’re about building an elite team for tomorrow and creating lifelong relationships with our clients.
