Produktbeschreibung

Leaders 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.

Organisational leaders support their teams, driving performance and change. They are passionately committed to their organisation's 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 'threat' and 'reward', what causes these at work and the likely and needed leadership behaviours to avoid 'threat' states. It presents the ego states, a model that allows us to understand and apply the mechanics of effective communication to leadership, preventing conflict, misunderstanding and, thus, increasing 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.
