In our dynamic, shifting, and often hybrid work environments, quality collaboration and motivation may require a more thoughtful and nuanced approach than ever before. 

To help leaders stay ahead, the best approaches will likely draw on universal concepts, but in a way that can be uniquely — and efficiently — crafted to meet the needs of every individual. 

This week on Your Brain at Work Live, join Dr. Emma Sarro and Facilitator Kyle Olsen as they explore updates to the NeuroLeadership Institute’s SCARF® Model and the latest data we’ve been collecting. This framework, which summarizes five psychological drivers humans seek out in social interactions, can provide powerful insights into workplace motivation and connection. 

Together, we'll explore how leading with heart might, paradoxically, be one of the best ways to lead with the brain in mind. More specifically, we’ll unpack: 

Updates surrounding NLI’s most popular and enduring model relevant to social engagement
The neuroscientific relationship between socially uplifting connection and human motivation
New strategies for more effectively unpacking your team members’ social motivators

SCARF in 2024: Understanding How Individual Drivers Can Cultivate Team Success

In organizations around the world, leaders are facing a deluge of urgent issues: a crisis in employee engagement, the need to make workforces more diverse, and the challenge of making workplaces feel human in an era of increasing dependence on technology and remote communication.
At the NeuroLeadership Institute, we believe brain science can help provide solutions. Join us on Your Brain At Work, the official podcast of the NeuroLeadership Institute — where top researchers and thought leaders share breakthroughs in brain science and industry leaders reveal the strategies behind their success.

By helping them understand how the brain works, we equip leaders with the tools to transform their organizations — building new habits and changing how people work, communicate, and make decisions. Combining research and practice, brain science and business leadership, Your Brain at Work explores how insights from the lab can provide solutions that work across industries and at any scale.

Season 1 guests include broadcast journalist Soledad O’Brien; Dean Carter, Director of Human Resources, Finance, Legal, Shared Services at Patagonia; Deb Bubb, Vice President of Learning and Inclusion at IBM; and FD Wilder, Senior Vice President of Go-To-Market Strategy and Innovation at Procter & Gamble.
