Summary
The success of leadership ends up on neuroscience. It is needed a good and well
known information about neuroscience and the capacity a human being has to
give orders, to receive them as well, and most important, to understand how a
person reacts and behaves. It is also important to control management and to
understand how a group of individuals work together, because not all practices
and methods apply to every context and behaviors, and we are able to know this
and to fix any circumstance thanks to neuroscience. Innovation is a very
important factor that helps organizations and communities to preserve
enthusiasm, inspiration and motivation around co-workers. As well as this is
known, as a defect of this, it could be said that people fear change, because of the
way the brain is structured for survival, change is almost always perceived as a
threat. This is the challenge many organizations have, and to control and take
advantage of it is the lead for success.
What is the connection between Neuroscience and Neuroleadership?

It might rely on the understanding of human behavior, its context and the relation with others
as other beings.
How Neuroleadership could help a person to succeed in any area?

Neuroleadership gives that person the appropriate tools to enhance its activities in a good
manner, with him or herself and with others, and to control as well the response of problems
around them.
How can you apply neuroscience and neuroleadership in your life?

I would apply it as a tool to create various relationships and connections with entities and with
people, so I could later take a positive advantage of my contacts to help me climb up on
problems and other circumstances that would once stop me.
Personal Opinion
I considerate neuroleadership as a logical quality human beings have as “default”,
but not everybody possess it, and not everybody practices or apply it as well.
I think if someone determines itself to promote and to evolve in this subject, it

can be done. It’s actually a matter of will, self-confidence and auto-determination,
so it might help to seek and achieve success. This can be performed as individual
or in a collective way, as for example, a community or an organization.
Professionals nowadays and leaders should try to reduce stress as better it’s
possible to focus on the important aspects of the situation and the people around
them that are important pieces and the organization’s structure. I think asking
questions, and listening with empathy to the employees’ concerns is a nice way to
achieve confidence and to promote a good relationship enterprise/worker. This
will probably enhance the brain’s behavior to adjust to a certain kind of change
and perceiving it as not a threat. I would say that innovation is also a good way to
keep people around you motivated and disposed to a positive change, and to
work with enthusiasm no matter the activities they might have to accomplish.
Innovation in leadership is now the perfect tool to managing success.
Without all these factors and the process that enhances the brain’s ability to work
functionally and to coexist with others, known simply as neuroleadership, society
wouldn’t be as we know it today, and most important, it wouldn’t have the
chance to advance in a positive path.
