Neuroscience for Leadership

"Thoroughly-researched and finely-written, the real brilliance of Neuroscience for Leadership is how it links scientific brain network research with solid advice on decision-making, employee motivation, and organizational growth! Perceptive and brilliant!" (Marshall Goldsmith, author or editor of 34 books including the global bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won't Get You There) "This stimulating book brims with useful insights and sage advice on practically every page. Managing emotions, communication, decision making, and intuition are just some of the topics that it illuminates. Highly recommended!" (Dennis Tourish, Professor of Leadership and Organisation Studies, Royal Holloway; author of The Dark Side of Transformational Leadership!) "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) "In all of the dozen or more businesses I have created the towering issue has been enabling people to do simple things they find difficult to do. The neuroscience of this is the missing link in management training. Kitty Chisholm and colleagues provide a hugely valuable insight." (Brian Kingham, Chairman, Reliance Security Group Ltd.) "If you are jaded by the torrent of books on leadership and organizational behavior, read this one for a refreshing change! The authors distil the conclusions from neuroscience research and apply them to leadership, governance, management, administration and personal development in a most readable way. Each chapter presents fascinating vignettes on a wide range of topics." (Sir John Daniel, O.C., Former Assistant Director-General, UNESCO for Education; Former Vice-Chancellor, The Open University)
