Neuroscience in HR: Steer and Take Charge

Abstract A leader builds an organisation and her/his mood and behaviour often drives the mood and behaviour of the team, and this has implications for the organisation. Current advances in neuroscience have revealed underlying brain patterns possibly associated with certain components of leadership. A leader could build her/his team by learning to manage herself/himself and others in an organisation during critical, challenging situations by using resources on their own volition to balance themselves.

This article attempts to look at why leaders need to continually work on themselves and explores different ways of building socially and emotionally intelligent leaders
