“The term attention density is increasingly used to define the amount of attention paid to a particular mental experience over specific time. The greater the concentration on a specific idea or mental experience, the higher the attention density.” (David Rock and Jeffrey Schwartz, “The Neuroscience of Leadership,” Strategy + Business, Summer 2006 at 77).

They ought to couple training with post-training individual guidance.
