ver the past few years, many managers and executives have discovered that the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience the study of the anatomy and physiology of the brain offer them an abundance of new ideas and techniques for leading their organizations to greater success. Combined with recent discoveries in cognitive science and technology, neuroscience advances can help leaders in every industry gain a competitive advantage by providing them with a better perspective on their work and their staff.
means, Politely tell people what they are doing wrong, doesnt engage people. 4. Paying attention creates chemical and physical reactions in the brain. 5. Our expectations and preconceptions shape our reality. 6. Repeated, purposeful and focused attention can lead to long-lasting personal evolution.
Charles S. Jacobs
Rock is not alone in his conviction that leaders can learn a great deal from the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience. Author and consultant Charles S. Jacobs also believes that neuroscience has much to teach leaders at every level. This is the topic of his new book, Management Rewired. While researching his book, Jacobs tells Soundview that he learned three things that all leaders should understand about the brain: 1. We really dont know the exterior world. All we know are our ideas about it, Jacobs explains.When we watch information on an MRI moving through the brain, what we find is that we dont have this direct knowledge of the physical world.All we have knowledge of are our ideas of the world,

Leaders who are more in touch with their emotions including all of the experience linked to those emotions tend to make better decisions than those who ignore or suppress their emotions at work.
New studies in both neuroscience and cognitive science which includes fields such as linguistics, evolutionary biology and psychology show that stories are integral to how the human brain thinks and learns. Jacobs says,Most cognitive scientists now believe the mind works through stories. So, were going to be far more successful in influencing the way people think and then behave if we use stories as opposed to reason. He adds that this is a crucial shift that needs to take place in the minds of all leaders.

Mirror Neurons
The latest neuroscience also shows that leaders who act like leaders help their people develop leadership behaviors. This is due to the presence of mirror neurons in our brains. Brain researchers first discovered mirror neurons in the 1980s. Jacobs says,Mirror neurons were first discovered accidentally in monkeys. [Neuroscientists] had several monkeys hooked up to MRIs and they were watching the activity, and they found that when they were engaged in an activity, there were neurons in the pre-motor cortex that fired. But they also noticed, by accident, that one of the monkeys watching another monkey perform an action had the same pattern of firing in his pre-motor cortex. In other words, they didnt have to be engaged in the activity.All they had to do was watch the activity. Through similar studies with people, neuroscientists have recently found that the human brain also contains mirror neurons. Jacobs says that human beings not only have mirror neurons in their brains that mimic the activities of other individuals, but our mirror neurons also mimic the intentions behind those activities.Our mirror neurons are mimicking the mindset of other people that we observe, Jacobs says.What this means is that we are hard-wired to empathize with people. Takeaway: To develop employees, set the example. Behaving and acting in positive ways will activate the mirror neurons in those around you, thereby encouraging like behavior.
Leaders must figure out the story that motivates their people.Then they must tell that story with everything they do and say.
Neale Martin
Author and consumer behavior expert Neale Martin also describes how new neuroscience can help leaders gain competitive advantage in his book Habit:The 95 Percent of Behavior Marketers Ignore. One way new brain research helps leaders succeed is by showing them how their customers minds work. In Habit, Martin describes how new neuroscience technology allows researchers to see inside the brain and analyze how various stimuli affect different regions of the brain. Martin explains,Although researchers have studied the

Empathy
The discovery of mirror neurons offers all leaders valuable insight. Jacobs says,When we try to figure out how to motivate people or how to give them feedback or whatever, we have the ability to stand in their shoes. Its hardwired into our brains. So, we can really empathize, really understand where people are coming from.What we want to understand is, whats the story that theyre telling themselves? The key here is, as much as possible, understand the story people are telling, and then hook into that story. Telling stories is key to the ability to empathize, Jacobs continues.And telling stories is also key to the ability to change the way that people think.As a manager, Im going to

Two Minds
We have at least two minds at work when performing any task, Martin writes. One is the executive brain that quickly grasps rules and procedures. The other mind is the primitive brain, which is in charge of coordinating our bodys different parts to create the many muscle and joint movements that allow us to unconsciously and smoothly perform physical tasks, such as walking or riding a bicycle. Martin explains that if you want to make a product more accessible and easy to use for consumers, business leaders and marketers must take into account the role of this part of the brain.Although our brains are equipped with more executive functions elsewhere, the cerebellum, or primitive part of the brain, is vital when we are trying to learn something that we will need in order to navigate our way through the world. If a product is too complex, we will have trouble adapting to it, which will make us look elsewhere for an easier-to-use model. If you want to make a product that creates habitual users, keep the primitive cerebellum in mind. Martin explains that the complicated minds of engineers should not be allowed to confuse consumers. He writes, Arguably, the primary culprit in the creation of overly complicated products is the organizational structure of the firm. The executive brain approaches problems logically and systematically, and the executive organizing a company can be counted on to create a logical division of labor that looks good on a chart. But again, the logic of the executive mind is not the way the habitual mind works.
InsideYour Head
To describe what scientists have found inside the brain, Martin first puts our heads into perspective. He writes,Inside the 1,500-cc cranial capacity of the skull sits 3 pounds of gray and white matter. This unassuming mass is arguably the most complex object in the cosmos. The human brain has roughly 100 billion neurons, each making an average 10,000 connections with other neurons. This represents a staggering quadrillion connections, a number greater than all of the known celestial bodies in the galaxy. Getting the layout of the physical structure of the brain can help anyone get a better grip on what goes on inside our heads that influences how we act and react. Martin describes the parts of the brain so we can understand where our ideas develop and move around. He explains: Although we identify humanness strongly with the most recent addition, the cerebrum, this region rests squarely on its predecessor, the limbic system, which houses the emotional parts of the brain, the amygdala, as well as the central switchboards of the hippocampus and the basal ganglia. The cerebrum and the limbic system rest on the hindbrain, the brains basement that contains the cerebellum and the brain stem.
Getting the layout of the physical structure of the brain can help anyone get a better grip on what goes on inside our heads that influences how we act and react.
One part of the brain that is critical to how we interact with products is the cerebellum, which learns from experience and plays a vital role in how we move through our world. Martin writes,This region of the brain constantly monitors what you mean to do and what you are really doing as you interact with the environment, attempting to harmonize intention and action. Learning to use a new cell phone or game system largely involves training the cerebellum.

part of a training program or directed toward customers as part of an advertising campaign.Whatever the message or idea, knowing more about the nature of curiosity can help any leader connect with others. In their book, Made to Stick: How Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, co-authors Chip Heath and Dan Heath discuss the work of George Loewenstein, a behavioral economist at Carnegie Mellon University, to describe the link between curiosity and connecting to a message. Lowenstein says that we feel curiosity when we feel a gap between what we know and what we dont know.
Mental Models
As leaders form their mental models, they must take into account the subjective nature of reality as well as the stored patterns that their past experiences have created in their minds. Wind and Crook write,This complex neural activity in our brains constitutes our reality. In most cases, this is an accurate and efficient process. Problems arise when our experience and stored patterns do not effectively relate to our current environment. The authors add,The sheer overwhelming complexity of our environment has shaped the evolution of our brain so that it can handle this complexity with both efficiency and effectiveness. To this end, we look at a scene and are remarkably successful at making sense of it. Takeaway: By recognizing our own shortcomings and the limitations of what we know, what we have experienced in the past and the patterns that shape us, we can make better sense of the reality in which our organizations work and compete.
A Big Red X
Leaders get people interested in a topic by pointing out a gap in what they know, write the Heaths. If the gap in your peoples knowledge is so large that it looks more like an abyss, then it is your job as a leader to fill in enough knowledge to make the abyss into a gap. To fill in that deep chasm of knowledge, smart leaders do more than simply dump a stack of information on a person. Instead, they sequence information by dropping a clue, then another clue, then another.The

Neural Plasticity
While developing a knowledge gap is one way to stimulate learning, another way to develop brain-compatible teaching practices is optimizing brain health. One company that has focused on helping leaders in a variety of fields maximize their brain functioning is the education and health-care consulting firm Brainergy Inc. As co-founder and president of the company, Gessner Geyer teaches workshops in which he shows students how brain function affects human behavior and how human behavior affects the brain. Geyer believes that gaining information is a start, but for information to become transformative, it needs to be consciously applied. He writes:Years ago when I first started my consulting company, Brainergy Inc., I was captivated by the biological fact of neural plasticity. Neural plasticity is a term used by brain researchers and neuroscientists to describe the phenomenon that brain cells, or neurons, can change shape, size, chemistry or even function as a result of metabolic processes or use.
Research in gerontology, cognitive psychology and behavioral medicine shows lifestyle habits of lifelong learning and mental activity not only promote optimal brain function, but also promote happiness and personal fulfillment.
Neurons are the biological units of thought and learning, Geyer explains.The fact that the human brain grows and changes in response to new learning and experience throughout the human life span is the basis of all my work.

Better Decisions
Predictably Irrational author Dan Ariely agrees with Rock, Schwartz, Jacobs,Wind, Crook and Crick when he writes that our brains create their own reality. In his book,Ariely reminds us that our visual and decision environments are filtered to us courtesy of our eyes, our ears, our senses of smell and touch, and the master of it all, our brain. By the time we comprehend and digest information, it is not necessarily a true reflection of reality. Instead, it is our representation of reality, and this is the input we base our decisions on. In essence, we are limited to the tools nature has given us, and the natural way in which we make decisions is limited by the quality and accuracy of these tools.
... By exercising new parts of our brain, we can learn new skills, improve what we already know and take our leadership capabilities to a higher level.
One of the main points of Predictably Irrational is that we are not necessarily helpless because of irrationality, no matter how common irrationality is in our lives.Ariely writes,Once we understand when and where we may make erroneous decisions, we can try to be more vigilant, force ourselves to think differently about those decisions or use technology to overcome our inherent shortcomings. He concludes that this is where business leaders and policy makers can revise their thinking and consider how to design their policies and products so that they can make better decisions.
Insight
The concept of insight can also improve decision making. Rock tells Soundview that managers and executives can improve how they make decisions and how well they perform as leaders by taking into account some of the latest neuroscience research into insight. He explains,Were seeing in the lab that more than 60 percent of problems get solved by the insight experience, when an idea comes to you, rather than by logical, linear problem solving. The research shows that you increase insight by increasing your ability to notice subtle signals. Much of what leaders do actually inhibits this whether its deadlines, coffee or open offices, many things make it hard to pay attention to internal delicate stimuli. Takeaway: Individuals and organizations that have quieter thinking time will have more good ideas emerge, especially in difficult times.

Decisions, Decisions
Author Jonah Lehrers book How We Decide describes many of the mental processes involved with decision making that he explored while working in the lab of the Nobel Prizewinning neuroscientist Eric Kandel. Lehrer writes that all of the information we learn about the brain cannot help us make better decisions until we look more closely at the context in which the brain is operating. He explains this by invoking an idea first described by Herbert Simon, the Nobel Prize-winning psychologist, who compared the human mind to a pair of scissors: One blade of the scissors is the brain, Simon said, and the other blade is the specific environment in which the brain operates. Lehrer explains,If you want to understand the function of the scissors, then you have to look at both blades simultaneously.
One Difference Between the Male Brain and the Female Brain
In their book, Leadership and the Sexes, co-authors Michael Gurian and Barbara Annis point to a distinct difference between the brains of women and the brains of men to explain why men tend to get more physically expressive when they get angry. They explain,The Leadership and the Sexes amygdala is one possible reason. by Michael Gurian and The brains of men and women, while Barbara Annis similar in many ways, are also quite different. For example, a mans amygdala is larger than a womans amygdala. Gurian and Annis write that because this structure stimulates more activity downward in the male brain toward the brain stem (and thus more quickly into the physical body), and more often upward in the female brain toward talking centers, men and women tend to differ in their angry behavior.At the very moment mens bodies are feeling their anger and trying to expel it physically (and the male brain is specifically not producing words to deal with the anger), the female brain is becoming very verbally stimulated.
Fight or Flight
A womans brain is often better able to verbalize her anger because her cingulated gyrus and her hippocampus are kicking into high gear. Meanwhile, a man will have trouble hearing anything because his anger is stuck in his more primitive amygdala, where he is not thinking in words. Instead, hes thinking only in terms of fight or flight. Geyer calls this response an amygdala hijacking, since a mans primitive, fight-or-flight impulse takes control of his brain before he has had a chance to process the anger with the more rational OFC. Takeaway: According to Geyer, by remaining aware of this phenomenon, a man can avoid an amygdala hijacking by simply taking more time to think and process a strong emotion before he acts on his first impulse to become physically expressive. Counting slowly to 10 before saying what he thinks can be a very simple way for a man to avoid an impulsively bad decision that is made before his higher reasoning kicks in.
The first step to making better decisions is to see ourselves as we really are...
In How We Decide, Lehrer points out that we are not simply rational creatures.We are also emotional, with emotional areas of our brain always providing their input when our rational brains are at work. But we also have a part of our brain that integrates our visceral emotions into our decision-making processes: the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Lehrer writes that the OFC connects the feelings generated by the primitive brain areas like the brain stem and the amygdala, which is in the limbic system to the stream of conscious thought. Takeaway: Our feelings are part of our rational decisions, and constructively tapping into our emotions helps us make better decisions.

Emotional Response
In their book, Sway, co-authors Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman explore other hidden psychological influences that can derail a leaders decision making. While describing what leaders can do when their actions are being evaluated based on how fair other people perceive them to be, they point to research conducted at Duke University by researcher Jack Greenberg, who studied Sway how employees from different sectors of by Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman business perceived their performance evaluations. Greenberg found that it was incredibly important for employees to feel that they were active participants in the evaluation process. The Brafmans write,The employees were more likely to feel that the process was fair when supervisors solicited their input prior to an evaluation and used it during the process; when there was two-way communication during the evaluation interview; and when the employees had the chance to challenge or rebut an evaluation. Takeaway: According to the Brafmans, if employees are involved in their evaluation, they tend to feel it is fairer. The same tends to be true of employees perceptions of pay raise decisions.
Collaboration
As neuroscientists show us that our emotions help our brains make better decisions, behavioral scientists demonstrate that collaboration also improves decision making. In their book, Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive, Noah J. Goldstein, Steve J. Martin and Robert B. Cialdini write:Leaders in organizations who are dealing with a specific issue or problem should ensure that they collaborate with team members toward its resolution, even if they are the best-informed, most-experienced or mostskilled person in the group.
As neuroscientists show us that our emotions help our brains make better decisions, behavioral scientists demonstrate that collaboration also improves decision making.
The authors explain that behavioral scientist Patrick Laughlin and his research associates have proven through their studies that groups of people who cooperate to find solutions to problems have better approaches and outcomes than both the average member of the group working alone and the groups best problem solver working alone.Far too often, leaders who by virtue of greater experience, skill and wisdom, deem themselves the ablest problem solver in the
Financial Rewards
In Sway, the Brafmans also describe work being done by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to figure out why many people work better for non-monetary rewards than for cash. Through an NIH study, scientists discovered the neurophysiology behind the idea that financial rewards can sometimes backfire.

Oxytocin
The Center for Neuroeconomics Studies (CNS) is another lab that uses modern research methods from neuroscience to learn how people make decisions. Researchers at the CNS have been looking into the causes of selfish and selfless behavior. In 2004, Dr. Paul J. Zak, the founding director of the CNS and professor of economics at Claremont Graduate University, and the scientists at CNS made a groundbreaking discovery about oxytocin. They found that this ancient chemical that is found in our brains helps us determine who to trust. Today, the CNS is researching clues for understanding how modern civilizations and economies have developed, how a better understanding of oxytocin can help us improve negotiations and how it can be used to treat patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders. In June 2008, Zak wrote an article in Scientific American that describes how our brains create trust. In that article, he describes how oxytocin, a simple molecule, plays a major role in our development of trust. Tests showed that those who received oxytocin were more trusting and generous than the volunteers who did not receive a dose of oxytocin. Scientists have found that when we are in a nurturing environment where we feel safe, secure and loved, our brains release more oxytocin. This extra oxytocin helps us become more trusting. On the other end of the spectrum, stressful environments, high levels of uncertainty and isolation within the workplace depress our oxytocin levels, making us less trusting. Takeaway: Creating a safer, more social and more nurturing workplace builds more trust among people than creating a stressful workplace where people feel isolated and disengaged. Since trust is crucial for creating positive personal and professional relationships and organizations, leaders can improve their workplaces by creating more social and nurturing work environments for their people.
Altruism
A few years later, in 2006, researchers at Duke University did a study of the brains neurological reaction to altruistic behavior with a similar game. But this time, the Brafmans write,the participants were told that the better their score, the more money would be donated to charity. This time, the MRI images that researchers watched while

Uncertainty
While new neuroscience shows that a nurturing workplace can help to motivate people, it also reveals other techniques leaders can use to improve their work. According to Robert B. Cialdini, the author of the bestselling book Influence,People seem to be more motivated by the thought of losing something than by the thought of gaining something of equal value. He calls this idea the scarcity principle, which is based on the theory that opportunities seem more valuable to us when they are less available. He points out that studies of college students show that they experience much stronger emotional responses when they are asked to imagine losses in their romantic relationships or their grade point averages than they experience when they are asked to imagine gains. Cialdini writes,Especially under conditions of risk and uncertainty, the threat of potential loss plays a powerful role in human decision making. People are more influenced when an issue is stated in terms of what stands to be lost rather than what can be gained. Cialdini explains,In the world of business, research has found that managers weigh potential losses more heavily than potential gains. Even our brains seem to have evolved to protect us against loss in that it is more difficult to disrupt good decision-making regarding loss than gain. Takeaway: Try not to let a list of (fear-based) potential losses totally eclipse the possibility of potential gains when making decisions. However, do remember the effectiveness of loss-scenarios when communicating with and trying to persuade others.
best got their attention. The results: none of them. The researchers found that all the visual saturation resulted only in glazed eyes, not higher sales. Since sight is often not as powerful as marketers and advertisers once assumed, what else can they do to capture a potential customers attention? Lindstom believes they should approach potential customers with a different strategy. He Buyology by Martin Lindstrom writes that the latest studies of the brain show that smell and sound are substantially more potent than anyone had ever dreamed of. In fact, in a wide range of categories (not just the obvious, like food), sound and smell can be even stronger than sight.

Avoiding Neuro-Hype
Batista points out that it is important to sift through what we really know about the links between neuroscience and leadership and what he calls neuro-hype. He explains, Theres a lot of it out there and I think theres a real challenge to ensure that youre not just jumping on the neuroscience bandwagon and viewing it in this very over-broad, abstract way and making these unwarranted conclusions and generalizations. I think that is definitely something to be concerned about. Batista says that, while he is not a neuroscientist nor an expert on neuroscience, he sees himself as an educated layperson who, as an executive coach, is looking for some clues from neuroscience about how he can better coach individuals, teams and organizations.After reviewing many of the latest studies and finding some sources of information that he feels hit the target, Batista says there are many things that we can learn from the latest brain science. He explains,What were finding is that a lot of what we know empirically about how coaching works and about how interpersonal skill development works has some basis in neuroscience.
... we go on autopilot once we have learned something.Why work so hard consciously when your subconscious mind can take over and do the job for you?
The placement of impulse purchase items near the checkout counters of many stores demonstrates the power of cues to trigger behavior. If youre hungry, its hard to resist those candy bars by the cash register, Martin writes.This habitual system is working underneath your executive mind, responding to cues that the executive mind does not even know about. This is what makes habits so hard to break; they often occur before our conscious mind can intervene. Takeaway: When leaders work with their people to create positive experiences that build positive habits, they help their people unlock the power of their subconscious mind to develop better behaviors that will help them in their own careers and help the organization succeed.
