.If you are a leader, sales professional or someone whose success depends on an ability to motivate, inspire or influence others, these little things called mirror neurons can provide you with the help you need. All you have to do is give them a reason to do their thing.

For the scientifically inclined among us, mirror neurons are a particular class of visuomotor neurons in the brain that show activity both when an individual performs an action and when he observes another individual performing the same action.

For the rest of us: Mirror neurons are the reason we wince at the sight of blood, or pucker when seeing someone chomp down on a lemon. Mirror neurons allow us to sense what it feels like to kick the winning field goal during the game's final seconds or not, if you're a Bears fan.
In other words, mirror neurons are the reason human beings are gifted with an ability to empathize with one another. They help put the commune in communicating.
