The Brain at Work: Applying Neuroscience to Leadership Competencies in order to Effectively Communicate, Collaborate and Lead
|
| |
|
| Description: |
We are all leaders, some formal and some informal and have the capability to impact others and outcomes in the workplace. To best impact others, we need to understand and incorporate the neuroscience of effective communication and collaboration. This is best accomplished when we create conditions where others are open to our ideas and we create shared understandings. Current research reveals that effective leaders have developed eleven competencies found inside four categories: self -development, interpersonal development, organization and group development, and transitional development. This session will cover the neuroscience that supports those four developmental areas in order to more effectively communicate, collaborate and lead.
