How do we define the Rational Brain System?
The Rational Brain System is thought of as the ‘thinking brain’, alongside the reflective system. It is located in the Neo-Cortex which sits across the top and sides of the brain.
Thinking enables us to consider our options and to undertake complex tasks such as planning. Emotions and instincts demand instant reaction, but our thoughts are processed at slower speeds to allow us to gather and interpret more information.
Where does the Rational Brain System sit in our neuroscience model?
The Rational Brain System is located in the Neo-Cortex region of the brain and in our neuroscience model it is one of 2 brain systems linked to Engagement. In the image below you can see the Rational Brain System sitting underneath Engagement.
What are the 2 neuroscience themes which make up the Rational Brain System?
The 2 neuroscience themes which make up the Rational Brain System are:
- Clarity
- Enablement
How do we define Clarity?
One of the most common mistakes we see, clarity is the simplest of our 8 themes but often an area that is underestimated in terms of importance.
It’s the ability to think without distraction and to concentrate on relevant information and tasks.

How do we define Enablement?
Pointing your team in the right direction is one thing, but are you giving them the tools they need to do their job?
Having approval and the necessary resources is key for employee engagement and could easily influence whether an organisation succeeds or fails
