How to Build a Bat Cave

Moral of the Story: Even superheroes can’t go

from the idea in their head to full blown

implementation

● Find space

● Outfit it in a way that encourages play and

experimentation and allows things to get

messy.

● Watch your staff solve problems you didn’t

even know you had.

“Flow” is the term used by

researchers for optimal states

of consciousness, those peak

moments of total absorption

where self vanishes, time flies,

and all aspects of performance

go through the roof.”

(Kotler, 2014)

“...early 1900s Harvard’s William

James began documenting ways

the brain can alter consciousness

to improve performance.

Researchers later discovered a

link between mind and body—the

fight-or-flight response—that

helped explain this amplified

performance.”
