Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering neuroscientist reveals how brain science can transform how we think about leadership, team-building, decision-making, innovation, marketing, and more. Leadership is a set of abilities with which a lucky few are born. They're the natural relationship builders, master negotiators and persuaders, and agile and strategic thinkers. The good news for the rest of us is that those abilities can be developed. In The Leader's Brain: Enhance Your Leadership, Build Stronger Teams, Make Better Decisions, and Inspire Greater Innovation with Neuroscience, Wharton Neuroscience Initiative director Michael Platt explains how. Over two decades as a professor and practitioner in neuroscience, psychology, and marketing, Platt's pioneering research has deepened our understanding of how key areas of the brain work—and how that understanding can be applied in business settings. Neuroscience is providing answers to many of leadership's most vexing challenges. In The Leader's Brain, Platt explains: Why two managers, when presented with the same set of information, make very different decisions;Why some companies (Apple) build strong social and emotional connections with their customers and others do not (Samsung); How some of the most significant events in sports history, like the "Miracle on Ice," contain insights for how to build a team; Why even some of the most visionary business leaders can make disastrous decisions, and how to fix that. The Leader's Brain relates findings like these, and many more, to help enhance leadership in an ever-shifting world entering a "new normal." In this fast-reading and engaging guide, you'll gain actionable insights you can put into practice as a leader. You will also learn what's going on in your team's brains when they are working in sync with one another, how you can tweak your message delivery to make sure others hear you, how to encourage greater creativity and innovation, and much more.

Download or read book The Leadership Brain written by Peter Shephard and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about enhancing leadership, teamwork, and neurodiversity. Here are some testimonies: "What makes this book so rich is the context in which Peter deals with leadership and neuroscience. He looks at the key issue of diversity and the effect it has on leadership. He also deals with diversity from two different yet related perspectives, mental diversity and cultural diversity, as well as gender and genetic personality differences." "A practical, easy-to-read yet academically sound book gives the reader a nice balance between the global and macro issues of diversity and leadership, as well as the micro and nitty-gritty issues of personality differences in teams and organizations. Well-researched data has been succinctly edited in very readable terms. This book includes updated research of the research with excellent references at end of back chapter." "The subject of leadership has probably had more behavioral scientist, writers, and independent thinkers in management--putting their views across. This book takes the often controversial subject onto a higher plain by exploring how leaders can use whole brain thinking to address the challenges of leading and motivating people of diverse background. By knowing our own genotype, personality, and cultural values, we come to understand why our style of leadership is the way is." "This book is about enhancing team leadership and organizational culture. A powerful way to understand diversity in organizations is to approach it from the whole-brain perspective. As all our behavior is directed or controlled by our thinking and feeling processes initiated in the brain, the book helps us discover these." "The whole-brain model, with a mix of cognitive and emotional influences, helps managers or team leaders better understand why people are different. These differences are a key component of neurodiversity, which the book addresses in a clear and comprehensive manner. The author has woven into this model the many other aspects of leadership of diverse employees such as culture, gender, and personality."
Download or read book The Leader s Brain written by Bastiaan Heemsbergen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new book, Dr. Heemsbergen shows that the best insights into leadership can come not from what leaders are thinking, but from how leaders think. The author suggests a fresh approach to how leaders can think, and describes the necessary processes and tools required to improve the leader's capability in volatile and complex times. Leveraging extensive research findings and observations, the author makes some unexpected connections between: brain research and how leaders think; the artistic process; our knowledge of the nonconscious; and leadership development. Heemsbergen, a psychologist, university lecturer and developer of leaders has developed new powerful metaphor tools from artistic practice and brain research to help leaders probe deeply into their perceptions, thoughts and emotions and uncover those things that they don't even know, they don't know. There is much that goes on in the mind that we're not aware of, and most of what influences what leaders say and do occurs below the water line of the iceberg at the nonconscious level. That's why need new methods, techniques and tools are required to get at what leaders don't know they know. Leaders also need to develop a "beginner's mind", become better sensors and see things with fresh eyes. Much of what leaders do in organizations is based on the idea of finding the right answer to a question. Unfortunately it is often assumed there is only one right answer, and we do not need to think about the topic further. In real life, much of what is known is in a state of flux, waiting for a new bit of evidence to modify the knowledge. To assist leaders in becoming more effective the author has developed methods and tools based on neuropsychology, psychoanalysis, and artistic practice. He calls it the (H-SAT), the Heemsbergen Sensory Awareness Tools. These tools assist in: uncovering the mental models that guide leadership behavior, illuminating leadership blindspots, and improving leadership decision making capability. Heemsbergen concludes, "the eye, ear and body have been the most important tools for the gathering of information since the dawn of time. Using time tested methods of artistic practice in combination with breakthroughs in brain research opens the possibility for uncovering hidden leadership talent to deal more effectively with a complex and volatile world."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Finally a book that translates what we know about brain functioning into practical guidelines for leadership. I recommend this book to leaders in a variety of situations - Robert J Marzano, Educational Consultant, and Author of Designing a New Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (CORWIN PRESS 2000) `This is an excellent book! Scientifically credible, thoughtful, thought provoking, well written and practical. A very accessible, useful book for educators who wish to lead!′ Robert Sylwester, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Oregon, Author of A Biological Brain in a Cultural Classroom, (CORWIN PRESS 2000) `Carefully researched and documented, yet filled with practical, immediately usable strategies, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand and influence human′ - Pat Wolfe, Educational Consultant, Mind Matters, Inc Connecting Leadership to the Brain intends to facilitate the formulation of new leadership perceptions and behaviour. In attempting to do so, this book does not present prescriptive formulae, recipes or "list" directives. Rather, it presents a framework for constructing personal understanding of the implications of emerging knowledge about human intelligence for leadership practice. Specifically, it presents a framework designed to advance leadership that is mindful, rather than mindless, of the nature and nurture of intelligence. In essence it is a framework for aligning leadership behavior to the advancement of collective capacity of individuals in the organization to think, learn and achieve purpose. This framework is motivated by three assumptions: a new day requires new perspective, a framework for reflection facilitates perceptual shift, there is no universal prescription for leadership.

Download or read book Leading with the Future in Mind written by David Bennet and published by Mqipress. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tour de force for the Future of Leadership ...We exist in a new reality, a global world where the individuated power of the mind/brain offers possibilities beyond our imagination. It is within this framework that thought leading emerges, and when married to our collaborative nature, makes the impossible an everyday occurrence. Leading with the Future in Mind, building on profound insights unleashed by recent findings in neuroscience, provides a new view that converges leadership, knowledge and learning for individual and organizational advancement.This book provides a research-based tour de force for the future of leadership. Moving from the leadership of the past, for the few at the top, using authority as the explanation, we now find leadership emerging from all levels of the organization, with knowledge as the explanation. The future will be owned by the organizations that understand and can master the relationships between knowledge and leadership. Being familiar with the role of a knowledge worker is not the same as understanding the role of a knowledge leader. As the key ingredient, collaboration is much more than "getting along"; it embraces and engages. Knowledge and leadership, a quality of organizations, have always been in relationship. However, the significant mental growth emerging throughout the 20th century-where individuals at all levels began to expand their capacity to learn-and the expansion of the capacity for social knowledge in the interconnected world of the 21st century has propelled humanity into a new age. Knowledge-and the responsibility for how that knowledge is used-sits squarely on the shoulders of leadership at all levels. The nature of the organization has moved beyond the factory and process metaphor, and is now understood as an intelligent complex adaptive system (ICAS). Leading with the Future in Mind covers the essentials of working, learning, and leading in an ICAS, covering knowledge and complexity, but also passion and spiritual energy. As social creatures living in an entangled world, our brains are linked together. We are in continuous interaction with those around us, and the brain is continuously changing in response. Wrapped in the mantle of collaborative leadership and engaging our full resources-physical, mental, emotional and spiritual-we open the door to possibilities. We are dreaming the future together.
