Brain mysteries are about the key role of the brain in leadership. About how the brain makes us function – as leaders, employees and in teams. Knowledge of the brain makes it possible to understand why we ourselves and others around us react and act as we do. The choices we make are controlled by the brain. If the brain's footprint was visible to us, we would see a pattern that would have made it easy to make smart choices. Today we know that change is possible all our lives and that it is never too late to go up new brain tracks.
In Brain Mysteries, you'll learn more about:
The key role of the brain in the daily management of ourselves and others
- How we can use ourselves to change behavior and achieve the goals we set ourselves
- How we can use knowledge about the brain to motivate and improve communication and collaboration
- Why communication is important and why emotions and action must go hand in hand
- What it takes to achieve learning and behavioural change in a management and organisational perspective
Brain mysteries are aimed at project managers, change agents and consultants working on change, development and innovation in the public and private sectors. The book will also be of interest to students in health and welfare and economics and administration subjects who are concerned with learning and development.
“Kvaerner’s book is ambitious, with a large knowledge base that covers wide topics. The discussion of the brain and brain functions, both anatomically, physiologically and psychologically, is well done professionally. At the same time, the author presents many theories about leadership, learning, organizational theory and interaction in a precise but concise language."
