Neuroscience for Leaders

Modern science has shown that in order to be more efficient in a complex business environment, we need to understand and change the way the brain works internally. Using the latest research of applied neuroscience, behavioral economics and psychology, Neuroscience For Leaders shows how to become a better leader through brain based learning, and reveals the feasible ways to improve leadership. In Neuroscience For Leaders, brain adaptive leadership (BAL) is proposed as a way of thinking, feeling and acting. BAL method can help leaders readjust their brain function and change their behavior in four key areas (thinking, emotion, habit, interpersonal relationship). The book provides a step-by-step framework: enhancing the thinking process, understanding and cultivating emotions, forming automatic brain responses and developing dynamic relationships. It further explains the basic science behind these steps, why they are so important, and how to improve them. For example, the field of thinking reflects the cognitive function of the brain, which is the key to leadership behavior. It can improve the clarity and effectiveness of thinking through a series of specific and simple practical methods such as maintaining and enhancing willpower, realizing cognitive bias, etc. Through diversified and high-end global research, the two authors hope to improve leadership in an all-round way by changing brain and leadership behavior.
