This insightful book explores how altering sensory templates can enhance managerial effectiveness and provide straightforward solutions to persistent challenges faced by leaders.
In Sensory Templates and Manager Cognition, the author delves into the intricate relationship between sensory perception and managerial effectiveness. By examining how managers interpret organizational scenarios through sensory templates, the book reveals that these templates are often rooted in our physical experiences. This connection between cognition and sensory perception can lead to innovative solutions for long-standing managerial challenges. Through a series of real-life case studies, the text illustrates how a shift in these sensory templates can enhance decision-making and operational efficiency.
The book also addresses the integration of art and spiritual practices within management education, suggesting that these elements can play a significant role in shaping managerial thought processes. By leveraging insights from cognitive science, particularly the metaphorical and embodied aspects of cognition, Sensory Templates and Manager Cognition offers a fresh perspective on how managers can better navigate complex organizational landscapes. This approach not only broadens the understanding of managerial cognition but also emphasizes the importance of experiential learning in leadership development.
Targeted towards scholars, students, and practitioners, this work serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of cognitive science and management. It encourages readers to rethink their approaches to problem-solving and leadership, ultimately aiming to foster a more nuanced understanding of how sensory experiences inform managerial actions and decisions.
