BrainWise Leadership
Authors Connie Henson and Pieter Rossouw in a conversation with Lynn Redenbach about their book, BrainWise Leadership: Practical neuroscience to survive and thrive at work. They discussed their framework for effective leadership, which is underpinned by neuroscience. Comprising three elements: individual brain fitness, cultivating healthy relationships and creating a high performance culture, BrainWise leadership provides a foundation that enables leaders to evaluate and enhance their own approach to leading.
