Why is it that so many business transformation initiatives fail — sometimes before they've even launched? What can leaders and teams do to avoid that costly, morale-burning outcome? 

What does the science of behavior change tell us about what it takes to turn our change management initiatives into successful movements?

In this episode of Your Brain at Work, we answer these questions and more with the help of Rachel Cardero — the NeuroLeadership Institute's Senior Vice President of Consulting — to conversation with our Head of Impact and Measurement, Dr. Ryan Curl, and Associate Consultant Mary Toomey.

The Neuroscience of Effective Organizational Change

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.

The Neuroscience of Habit Activation: From LMS, to LXP, to HAP

Seemingly overnight, Artificial Intelligence has taken workplaces around the world by storm. But while there's tremendous excitement about the potential this rapidly evolving tool might unlock, there's also trepidation — and perhaps there should be. Even as we begin to integrate AI into our everyday routines, questions remain about the underlying biases that may influence technology and its adoption.

In this special episode of Your Brain at Work, published to coincide with a presentation — delivered by Janet M. Stovall, our Global Head of DEI, and Matt Summers, our Global Head of Culture and Leadership — at the Society for Human Resource Management's Talent Conference and Expo, they examine the emergence of AI through the lens of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion — this time focusing on breaking bias.

Why Delegation is So Hard, and How to Get it Right

Is it time for the pendulum to swing back toward a focus on performance and less on people?

 
Many CEO’s today feel the pendulum has swung too far toward the employee, and cringe when they hear about increasing psychological safety.

 

Are they right, or are they missing something important here? Are these two ideas in opposition? Is it possible to truly have one without the other?
 
Join Dr. Amy Edmondson and Dr. David Rock as they robustly debate these and other important questions.

Accountability V.S. Psychological Safety with Dr. Amy Edmondson

It’s easy enough to read biographies of leaders past, some of whom are considered exceptional for this or that extraordinary reason. Surely, leaders of old have been studied and judged for the times in which they lived and the business landscape in which they operated. 

But today’s leaders need more skills than ever before. They need to know the science of:

How to create an environment where everyone speaks up, challenges each other, and gets to the best answers—faster than ever.

How to help teams move quickly through difficult decisions and make sure things really happen. 

How to recognize bias, and neutralize it so that teams can keep operating at optimal levels.
