Abstract

This chapter discusses neuroscience and leadership and the necessity of brain understanding. Neuroscience's fundamentals are used in leadership research. The chapter examines how the brain affects leadership behaviour, focusing on the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala's roles in memory, emotion, and decision-making. These areas support leadership processes neurally. The chapter then examines neuroplasticity and how it affects leadership. Leadership skill development requires ongoing personal growth and learning. Stress must be addressed when using neuroscience in leadership development. The chapter examines the neurobiological impacts of chronic stress and suggests ways leaders may manage stress, improve decision-making, and develop resilience. Through neuroscience, the chapter examines empathy and social intelligence in leadership and its origins in the brain's mirror neuron system. Understanding this neurological association helps one understand emotional intelligence in leadership.
