Neuroscience for Leadership: Harnessing the Brain Gain Advantage (The Neuroscience of Business)

Product Information

Effective leaders are, generally, less stressed than subordinates. (This has been shown to be related to a good social life with friends and family, a key cushion against stress.) For gold level performance, in addition to what is required for bronze and silver, you will need to learn, unlearn and re-learn. But you will also need to hone your ‘gut instinct’. Gut instinct is about intuition, judgment and decisiveness. This has a physiological basis due to the inordinately large nerve supply from our guts to parts of the brain concerned with instinct, mood and basic emotions. González-Esteban E. El desarrollo de la ética empresarial ante los avances de la neurociencia organizacional y la neuroética. Pensamiento. 2016; 72(273):921–940. [ Google Scholar] Schwartz: A term that has become very popular in social neuroscience in the last decade is mentalizing, which simply means thinking about what other people are thinking, thinking about what they’re going to do. This is in contradistinction and in addition to thinking about what they want, which is the cardinal part of transactional leadership.

[ CrossRef] [ Google Scholar]It’s really thinking about what people are going to do, then re-labeling our own responses to that and thinking about how customers, how colleagues, how superiors think about what’s going on, what they’re going to do. We can use that in our pattern of labeling our own responses to become more mindful, become more aware, have the “wise advocate.” Because the wise advocate is our inner guide that we create an inner constructive narrative in consultation with. That’s how you integrate executive function with mindfulness. Society after the pandemic demands a fairer and more sustainable world and economy. The 2030 agenda sets some milestones to achieve sustainable development goals (Keynejad et al., 2021). To achieve these, both workplace and personal well-being are fundamental aspects. In this context, organisations have faced the challenge of improving their management to adapt to the new times. The search for well-being has led to the application of concepts such as happiness management to create better workplaces (Cuesta-Valiño et al., 2022b; Moreno-Ortiz et al., 2022; Ravina-Ripoll et al., 2019a; 2022a). The leaders of companies have the role of making the necessary changes to make the workplaces happier and more productive.

Future trend 1. Research on neuroleadership has the challenge of showing the importance of its implementation to adapt companies to Industry 5.0 and mitigate the effects of the Great Resignation. This research can play an important role in advancing research by synthesising and organising existing knowledge and identifying areas for future investigation. This paper presents an integrative review (Patriotta, 2020) that offers another voice and speaking position for re-inventing and writing new papers about neuroleadership and happiness management. Post et al. ( 2020) emphasise the importance of articles that can serve several purposes, including helping researchers understand the research topic, discerning important and under-examined areas, connecting research findings from disparate sources to create new perspectives and phenomena, and bridging fragmented areas of research by developing links between established but previously unconnected theoretical perspectives. Ideally, in that kind of understanding, we’re trying to get to the win-win perspective. We never criticize it, but we do want to go beyond it into what we call strategic leadership, which brings in those key terms I mentioned already — mentalizing, executive function, and what we call applied mindfulness. Of our past students, 37 percent have received financial assistance from their employers. You can ask for help, too. Here is a guide to show you how to request financial assistance from your employer. Schwartz: There’s a huge amount of crossover, and that brings in the whole personal element in being a great leader, which is very, very big. We never want to demean or undermine the critical importance of transactional leadership. If you’re not pleasing your customers, you don’t have a business. However, we do want to get beyond that.Rando-Cueto D, Fernández-Díaz E, Núñez-Sánchez JM, De las Heras Pedrosa C.

Neuroscience findings are helping to connect the dots between human interaction and effective leadership practices. As the mapping of the human brain continues, we can expect to learn more about how the brain functions and how leaders can use this knowledge to best lead people and organizations,” explains Schaufenbuel.

The use of bibliometric analysis and learning through experiments is highlighted. The application of neuroscience has been carried out mainly from a rational perspective, but in its application to the field of human capital, the study of emotional and self-awareness aspects stands out. The consideration of mindfulness that has been gradually introduced in companies and is becoming more widespread is also interesting. Sánchez-Vázquez JF, Sánchez-Ordóñez R.
