Neuroscience In Leadership: Using Cognitive Techniques to Navigate Teams Through Change

Business leaders and HR recognize the need to adapt to change, adopt new behaviors, and avoid costly derailments in the modern economy. Unfortunately, to know a thing is not the same as doing it. In this HCI Keynote video, Wanda Curlee Ph.D., Associate Professor at the American Public University, discusses how insights from neuroscience can help your people understand, adapt, and own change.

Key insights:

  • Recognize that the human brain isn’t designed to multi-task; find ways for people work sequentially with less distraction.
  • Learn how simple, direct questions can help your people solve a problem more effectively than telling them how to approach it.
  • Discover the science behind “teaching old dogs new tricks.”
