Kevin Asbjornson, MIM

The Neuroscience of LeadershipKey Inspiration for the Month: Reach & Influence of Audience is the ROI of Effective Leadership in the 21st Century. David Rock and Jeffrey Schwartz assert in their article The Neuroscience of Leadership that “it is now clear that human behavior in the workplace doesn’t work the way many executives think it does. That in turn helps explain why many leadership efforts and organizational change initiatives fall flat.”  “Managers who understand the recent breakthroughs in cognitive science can lead and influence mindful change: organizational transformation that takes into account the physiological nature of the brain and the ways in which it predisposes people to resist some forms of leadership and accept others.” According to Kevin Asbjörnson, MIM, Founder & Principal Performing Artist of Inspire! Imagine! Innovate! ; “The revised and highly effective models and metaphors of leadership in the 21st century integrate the current research and neuroscience of emotionally-intelligent and inspired leadership.” To read the entire article by David Rock and Jeffrey Schwartz, please click here.
