\"IntroI gave this talk earlier this year: How Neuroscience Informs Leadership<\/strong>. Over the next two weeks, I’ll talk about the SOCIAL BRAIN, what we know, and why it matters. After that, I’ll include articles on the MOTIVATIONAL BRAIN, what we know, and why it matters. I also have some video clips to provide regarding BIAS at it relates to the EXECUTIVE BRAIN.<\/p>\n

But first things first, let’s just start with the brain in this post.<\/p>\n

About Your Brain<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may be that the brain is not the single most complicated thing in the universe, but it\u2019s hard to imagine anything more complex. Inside the fatty tissue of your skull sits 100 Billion neurons. That\u2019s not even counting the supporting glial cells. These 100 billion neurons all talk to each other through their connection, and if you add up all these contact points of neurons “talking to each other”, a conservative estimate is that there are 100 trillion<\/b> of them. That is at least 1,000<\/b>\u00a0times the number of stars in our galaxy.\u00a0That\u2019s in your head!<\/p>\n

The upshot of all this crazy potential is that things are going on in there that we just don\u2019t understand. And the more we know, about knowing, the better we\u2019ll be able to make informed decisions.<\/p>\n

What I want to with this series is to think about our thinking, to check assumptions at the door, and look at the most recent research on the brain as it applies to being and becoming better leaders. I put these into three sections:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Executive Brain to understand how what you think you know can help or hurt you in workplace decision making.<\/li>\n
  2. The Social Brain to look at a crazy need that the brains of your employees have just in order to for them to perform at their best \u2013 you know what that need is? Other brains.<\/li>\n
  3. The Motivational Brain to better understand the fundamental need to create drive and motivation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
