Description

Modern science has shown that in order to behave more productively in complex business situations, we need to understand and alter the inner workings of our brain. Using the latest insights from applied neuroscience, behavioral economics and psychology, Neuroscience for Leaders demonstrates how to become a better leader through brain-based learning.

Nikolaos Dimitriadis and Alexandros Psychogios provide a step-by-step framework for fine-tuning brain functions in four key areas: enhancing the thought process, understanding and nurturing emotions, shaping automated brain responses, and developing dynamic relations. They explain the underlying science behind these steps, why they are important to the business environment, and how they can be improved.

With case studies, self-assessment tools and useful exercises, Neuroscience for Leaders is a valuable guide for managers and leaders looking to improve leadership effectiveness.

Clear and interesting, a good choice to read it if you work in a company or you are a coach. Many of the things written in this book were not new, but the way the author uses and applies them to a different context is what makes the difference.

Chiaro ed interessante, un libro consigliato se lavorate in un'azienda o se siete un coach. Molte delle informazioni contenute nel manuale non sono nuove, ma il modo e l'utilizzo che ne fa l'autore é quello che rende questo libro diverso.

A slightly specialised, focussed read that sets out to show how we can be better leaders through the use of brain-based learning or neuroscience. Definitely a case of invest the time to reap the benefit with this book!

The authors take some of the latest thoughts and research within the field of neuroscience and apply them to a business leadership context, offering a clear framework to enhance how we think, how we process data, how we respond and how we develop our relationships - all designed with business in mind. This is supplemented by a host of case studies, exercises and self-assessment programmes.

It may be a challenging read but definitely a worthwhile one. It is written in a quite clear, easy-to-understand style when you consider the amount of theory and science it has to impart. The specific application and focus to a business context is the key here. This is a science and area that is not standing still; scientists are still learning about the human brain and its complex relationships, despite major advances being made in the past couple of decades.

The authors are quite clear, recommending that the reader does not just read this book but they immediately begin to try and apply the ideas and recommendations, starting in a form of experimentation with low-risk situations and broadening out this reach as the reader’s experience and confidence grows. It does make sense.

All in all, this is a recommended book for leaders and managers, particularly those who want to get an edge and be even closer, more in touch and direct with their fellow man. It has clearly the capability to deliver benefits to everyone too.
