Neuro-intelligent leadership is the ability as a leader to use knowledge of the functions of the brain, our emotions and our biology to

• gain improved self-awareness
• develop better communication skills
• achieve improved problem solving
• reach healthy performance through better self-management
• gain improved interpersonal and team leadership

Modern neurosciences reveal that engagement, performance and bottom line results depend heavily on how our human energy is “addressed”. Within an organisation, however, the way this energy is applied to achieving results or performance is a complex interaction between the make-up of the individual and how the organisation makes these demands.

For instance, fear within organisations steers the energy of people inwards. This makes them counterproductively “turned off” and disengaged. On the other hand, trust – cultivated for example with positive reinforcement and genuine acknowledgement – directs people’s energy outwards, allowing them to thrive, and their organisation to succeed.
