Description
Are you ready to redefine your understanding of human dynamics at work? 'Brain and Behaviour in Organizations' is an eight-part series that challenges conventional wisdom, drawing on cutting-edge modern brain sciences to reveal how people truly function in organizational settings. This course shifts the paradigm from traditional, performance-driven organizations - which often come at the cost of personal well-being - towards creating 21st-century sustainable organizations where individuals can genuinely "be me" and thrive.Paul Brown, a professor of cognitive neuroscience, will share with us that human beings are not primarily cognitive, but emotionally driven systems, with the brain acting as the master controller of energy and adaptation, constantly assessing the emotional significance of all input. This course will introduce you to the concept of the "Limbic Leader", an authentic individual who understands their own emotional system, fostering profound trust - the most fundamental property of human interaction - and inspiring others to willingly apply their energy and creativity.We critically examine the limitations of traditional organisational concepts, such as the competitive "team," and explore the profound implications of biological differences, particularly between male and female brains. You'll learn to value and integrate "feminine energy" into the workplace, moving beyond mere equality to create a richer, more satisfying relational world. Ultimately, this series empowers you with insights into fostering environments where individuals, as inherently self-regulating systems, can joyfully self-motivate and direct their energies towards shared goals, transforming organisations into truly adaptive and human-centred places.
Who this course is for
Participants should have an interest in modern brain science and its application to understanding human behaviour in organisational settings. The course is designed for those keen to derive new ideas for 21st-century sustainable organizations, particularly regarding fostering trust, individual self-regulation, and joy in the workplace. Participants should also be interested in deepening their understanding of leadership through an emotional and authentic lens, and in exploring concepts like 'intelligent emotions' and the value of integrating 'feminine energy' into organisational life.
