Developing Neuroleadership

As I start to conceptualise my own leadership vision, study of transformational, transactional, servant leadership showed me that the heart of leadership ultimately leads to a deep awareness of self and influencing others to create change.

Yet, evidence of a fresh approach, new science that is emerging is. Neuroleadership- Another study of human functioning that may impact organisational change that infuses cognitive and social nature of change. I guess in the light of globalisation and competition, there is an urgency to develop new skills and new mindsets.

If one can grasps the following big ideas , I think "you've got it"
  • Be better, be different – compete on value (intellectual property, design)
  • Strong on ‘soft skills’ – communication, flexible, collaboration, cross-cultural sensitivities
  • Ability to manage complexities, unstructured, open-ended and novel situations
For those interesting in Neuroleadership and its related field, check out the following:
- Global Neuro Leadership Summitshttp://www.neuroleadership.org/
- First summit in Italy http://www.leadershipnow.com/leadingblog/2007/01/the_first_global_neuroleadersh.html
- North American sumit in NY http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/6/prweb952424.htm

Maybe I should dig deeper to see if I can write a paper for the first publication of the Neuroleadership Journal! No pain no gain!
