    How to claim your leadership role:
    1 – Don’t blame. Blame triggers same parts of the brain as a physical attack. Blame triggers fight or flight response and blocks prefrontal cortex
    2- Look in the mirror, most of us are good at pointing out other’s blame but not ours.
    3- Engineer the solution: our brain is prone to blame the person close to the mess, so make the solution instead of blaming
