NeuroLeadership in Organization Development

Organization Development Network of Western New York

Contemporary research in neuroscience provides new insights into the deeply social nature of the human brain and its importance for how we get things done at work. The emerging practice of NeuroLeadership (a term coined by Dr. David Rock) incorporates the most recent findings from neuroscience research with the latest in leadership theory. This workshop will explore the brain science of social interactions, why they matter so much and why change is often so difficult. The SCARF brain-based model for collaborating with and influencing others will be introduced. We’ll look at how our brains respond when we interact with other people and how this knowledge can be applied to boost performance. Key outcomes will be to improve everyday coaching conversations and to learn to strategically apply science to human performance. http://concentricleadership.com

Catherine Adenle

This presentation contains 21 critical questions to ask before change management. Before implementing a major change in an organization, to have clarity and a water-tight road map for change, certain critical questions must be asked and answered first. For change to be successful and for it to take hold, rushing into a major change without answering these 21 critical questions to ask before change management will certainly derail the change. These 21 critical questions will help all change agents, experienced and inexperienced, to plan a change in a well structured manner.
