Recent research insights from the emerging field of social cognitive neuroscience provide valuable lessons on a practical level for modern managers and leaders. For example, much of our traditional understanding about executive decision making has been brought into question. We now recognize the importance of emotional content and its salience within the brain’s limbic system. In addition, neuroscientific research demonstrates that historical management practices have overlooked the motivational power of social relationships in the workplace. In short, the human brain is ‘wired to connect’ in a social sense. It is part of our evolutionary heritage and has significant implications for collaboration in the workplace.
The purpose of this programme is to inform managers and leaders of the latest neuroscience research as it specifically relates to the modern workplace. In some cases this will extend to experiential exercises and diagnostic instruments.
Course fee includes a personal “My Brain Solutions Leadership Assessment (MBSLA).”
This course is for leaders and managers, from both the public and private sectors, who grapple with the challenges of direct reports, in particular, with respect to: influencing, motivating, communicating, team-work and making effective decisions.
