Description
Book SynopsisLeaders are leading in unprecedented circumstances as the world of work is more complex than ever before. Leadership success can seem elusive. Simple, easy to follow and clear, this book takes complex and validated thinking and research from psychotherapies, psychology and neuroscience, to create simple approaches that have been proven to work in helping leaders address the challenges and tensions experienced day to day.
Organizational leaders are supporting their teams, driving performance and change, they are passionately committed to their organizationâs cause and yet are often overwhelmed by what comes at them on a daily basis. This book explains how your brain works and needs to work in order to lead effectively. For example, it introduces the brain states of âthreatâ and ârewardâ, what causes these at work, and the likely and needed leadership behaviours to avoid âthreatâ states. It presents the âEgostatesâ, a model that allows us to understand and apply the mechanics of effective communication to leading, preventing conflict and misunderstanding and so increase commitment and motivation. Tools and techniques are provided to influence and manage through change, increasing engagement and decreasing resistance.
This book is for leaders and aspiring leaders and those interested in the neuroscience of leadership. It is also for leadership development coaches, as it contains practical frameworks to use with clients answering the most asked leadership development questions.
