Description: Harvard psychiatrist and executive coach Srinivasan S. Pillay illuminates the rapidly-emerging links between modern brain science and the corner office. What does neuroscience have to do with leadership? Everything. Recent advances in brain science and neuroimaging can dramatically improve the way leaders work with colleagues to drive successful change. As the brain is increasingly examined in the context of personal and organizational development, remarkable insights are being uncovered: insights that are leading to powerful new strategies for improving business execution. Pillay reveals six powerful ways that brain science can be used by todayʹs executives, and presents powerful new interventions for coaches who want to help their clients overcome common leadership problems. Discover how to use positive, "strengths-based" approaches to encourage the brain to learn ... how the fascinating neuroscience of social intelligence can help leaders encourage more effective relationships ... how to promote innovation and intuition, and overcome intangible vulnerabilities in leadersʹ brains ... how to transform the "idea" of change into crisp, timely execution ... and much more. Leaders and coaches worldwide are already applying this knowledge to dramatically improve personal performance. Now, with Pillayʹs help, everyone can.
