Neuroscience for Leaders and Managers

Course details

Details

The neuroscience of leadership is rapidly breaking new ground in leadership training, deepening our understanding of how the brain works and how to maximise our potential to improve effectiveness at work and build better relationships. Ultimately, better knowledge about our own and others' brains helps to inform a wide range of interpersonal skills, as well as project planning and management practices, that have a positive impact on organisational performance and aid the creation of an agile learning organisation.

Neuroscience for Leaders and Managers provides an introduction to the world of neuroscience. Through facilitated discussion, you'll explore the impact of research in relation to key areas relating to organisational success and be exposed to a whole new approach to thinking and behaving in the workplace. We will apply models based on cutting edge research in practical ways to help uncover personal insights that you will be able to practice and apply outside the session. Throughout the interactive session there is a focus on turning the research into personal understanding and applying it to real life projects and contexts to improve organisational success.

Run as it features here, or run in-house where the content can be tailored to suit your organisational needs; cost effective if a number of people require training.
