The Leader and Their Brain

I've read in more than one place in the last few months that more than 90% of what we now know about how our brains work has been learned within the last five years. I believe this ongoing pace of learning will impact many parts of our life, and leadership is among them.

I encourage you to read this post from Stephanie West-Allen's Idealawg. The post is written about leadership in a law firm, Stephanie's focus. The points she elaborates on a valuable for any leader and are well worth pondering.

I especially like (and agree with) her assertion that: "I have no doubt that in five years the value of understanding neuroscience for effective leadership will be old hat and a driving component in leadership practice."
