The Leadership Brain

This book is about enhancing leadership, teamwork, and neurodiversity.

Here are some testimonies:

"What makes this book so rich is the context in which Peter deals with leadership and neuroscience. He looks at the key issue of diversity and the effect it has on leadership. He also deals with diversity from two different yet related perspectives, mental diversity and cultural diversity, as well as gender and genetic personality differences."

"A practical, easy-to-read yet academically sound book gives the reader a nice balance between the global and macro issues of diversity and leadership, as well as the micro and nitty-gritty issues of personality differences in teams and organizations. Well-researched data has been succinctly edited in very readable terms. This book includes updated research of the research with excellent references at end of back chapter."

"The subject of leadership has probably had more behavioral scientist, writers, and independent thinkers in management-putting their views across. This book takes the often controversial subject onto a higher plain by exploring how leaders can use whole brain thinking to address the challenges of leading and motivating people of diverse background. By knowing our own genotype, personality, and cultural values, we come to understand why our style of leadership is the way is."

"This book is about enhancing team leadership and organizational culture. A powerful way to understand diversity in organizations is to approach it from the whole-brain perspective. As all our behavior is directed or controlled by our thinking and feeling processes initiated in the brain, the book helps us discover these."

"The whole-brain model, with a mix of cognitive and emotional influences, helps managers or team leaders better understand why people are different. These differences are a key component of neurodiversity, which the book addresses in a clear and comprehensive manner. The author has woven into this model the many other aspects of leadership of diverse employees such as culture, gender, and personality."
