Neuroscience for Leadership: Harnessing the Brain Gain Neuroscience for Leadership: Harnessing the Brain Gain

This course is delivered in our Self-Paced Online format which enables you to participate at your own pace within weekly modules This program enables leaders to discover the impact of the brain on their ability to lead, and reveals how they can rewire their brain to become more effective. Participants will investigate their thinking approach, natural preferences and blindspots as leaders, and discover how to boost their thinking skills and leadership behavior. Finally, they will explore the power of visualization to inspire action, and determine how to maximize their leadership potential to induce organizational change and leave a powerful legacy. Schwartz: There’s a huge amount of crossover, and that brings in the whole personal element in being a great leader, which is very, very big. We never want to demean or undermine the critical importance of transactional leadership. If you’re not pleasing your customers, you don’t have a business. However, we do want to get beyond that.But in today’s dynamic and changing environment, we wonder how the COVID period may have affected this line of research. The last few years have been marked by confinement, personal isolation, and teleworking, which have changed work and social environments rather drastically. It is observed that the consideration of the management of emotions and cognitive processes in the work environment is attracting interest to develop a leadership focused on making better workplaces. A new line of action focused on the management of happiness is emerging. Neuroleadership is presented as a new way of understanding management. For these reasons, we have identified an interesting gap (future trend 4), which is the consideration of happiness management in the new styles of leadership. Their combined application can mark a before and after in business management.

Future trend 5.

[ CrossRef] [ Google Scholar] Evidence from neuroscience suggests that by changing the way they think, leaders can significantly improve how they engage with and motivate others, make better decisions, and improve personal and organizational performance. The ability of the brain to adapt and change is referred to as neuroplasticity, and it can be applied not only to individuals but also to organizations. Waldman DA, Balthazard PA, Peterson SJ.

Moreno-Ortiz A, Pérez-Hernández C, García-Gámez M (2022) The language of happiness in self-reported descriptions of happy moments: words, concepts, and entities. Humanit Soc Sci Commun 9(181), 10.1057/s41599-022-01202-8 Schwartz: Art brings up another extremely important point: the word ‘confidence.’ It’s really the integrative term between personal neuroscience and using this model in applied business leadership principles. By creating that constructive narrative and inner dialogue with the wise advocate, which is that mindful voice inside of you, you can have not just a goal but a narrative about why you’re pursuing that goal and a sense of how you are participating in this plan going forward. That gives you the confidence to make decisions, and the sense of firmness and the sense of assertiveness that is so critical to leadership. One of the theoretical contributions is the identification of the main themes in neuroleadership research, and the general research roadmap proposed. This roadmap shows some answers to three questions: (1) Where is neuroleadership being analyzed? (2) How is neuroleadership being applied? (3) What is it used for? The third theoretical contribution of this work is that we have identified what we have not explored, that is their role in happiness management and the main future pathways that can be followed to bring them to light.Pathway 1. The neuroleadership implementations for happiness management can be based on neuroscience and organisational behaviour approaches. I really like how this book links scientific brain research with solid advice on decision-making, and how to better engage and motivate the people around you. The authors of Neuroscience for Leadership are pioneers in forging new thoughts and research into this cross-section of science, emotion, society, and economy. The book dispels mythos and long-held prejudices and should open up new avenues for tapping into the potential of the entire human race to meet the challenges of the 21st century.” (Candace Johnson, Founder/Co-Founder, SES, Europe Online, Loral-Teleport Europe GTWN, Succes Europe) Highlights 2. Neuroleadership research can be complemented by management strategy and neuroeconomics approaches to better adapt to the challenges of Industry 5.0. The research on neuroscience cited throughout this book is substantial. In the preface to the book,the authors ask the following questions: “How do 86 billion brain cells, triggered by electrical discharges that create chemical messengers traveling at a little short of 300 miles an hour within the spongy tissues that fill the small space of the skull, and that we call ‘the brain’ make us consciously and (arguably) rational human beings - able, indeed, to let us think we can inspect our own thinking? How do they create ‘a person?’” (pp. xiv-xv).
