How are leadership practices influencing your colleagues' brain wiring?

The emerging advances in neuroscience have given us invaluable new insights into how our brain evolves over time.

Of particular interest is the way in which interpersonal relationships influence the wiring of our brain. This area is called interpersonal neurobiology.

It highlights the way in which one's interpersonal style and approach will influence the brain wiring of those with whom we spend significant or impactful time.

This provides great insight into why we thrive and fulfill our potential with great leadership and why we find it hard to perform well or even think clearly with poor leadership.

I’m sure you can relate to the practical impact of this.

Consider the current people with whom you interact:

• What impact does their behaviour have on you?

• What do you imagine your behaviour has on them?

This emerging understanding of the brain gives us great insight into the positive impact we can have on others.
