Neuroscience for Leaders: How To Boost Empathy, Trust & Motivation at Work
This training introduces participants to the neuroscience of leadership, providing actionable recommendations and case studies that exemplify the attributes that separate a good leader from a great one, especially in turbulent and uncertain times. Empathy, trust and motivation are explained by utilizing the latest neuroscientific insights as well as the lecturer’s own experience in researching these topics globally and in helping leaders improve meaningfully and impactfully.
Dr. Nikolaos Dimitriadis will explore how our brains often work against the principles of effective leadership – such as avoiding risk, prioritizing short-term gains, or making emotion-driven decisions.
By understanding how the brain truly functions – both our own and others’ – leaders can make smarter, more resilient decisions. He will share cutting-edge insights and real-world examples of how neuroscience is being used to enhance leadership, employee wellbeing, HR, and workplace safety. You’ll also gain practical tips on how your organization can start neuro-based projects that drive deep transformation.
