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.

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.
Join Dr. David Rock and Dr. Emma Sarro in the final episode of our Leadership Essentials series.

Re-thinking performance development in 2024 -
Over the last several months, there's been a great deal of talk about the use cases for artificial intelligence. Millions around the world are excited about the creative potential, labor, and time savings that AI might unlock. But AI's use cases don't end there.
In this episode of Your Brain At Work, our co-founder, Dr. David Rock connects with Dr. Teodor Grantcharov (Professor of Surgery at Stanford University and Associate Chief Quality Officer for Innovation and Safety at Stanford Healthcare) to explore a fascinating new use case for AI: saving lives in the operating room.
Listen on for a fascinating exploration of how we might use AI to augment, rather than supplant, our humanity. -
In the three years since flexible work has transformed from emergency mode to a mainstream way of working, it’s encountered no shortage of unique challenges and opportunities along the way. Among those challenges? Intentionally building and maintaining workplace culture — shared everyday habits — in a setting so often mediated by digital distance.
Research indicates that a sense of connectedness (something many employees say they aren't getting) is one of the primary levers for employee engagement and retention. It’s what has some leaders believing that returning to office will alleviate the "connection crisis". Yet, a staggering number of employees say they'll exit if forced back into the office.
On this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, we'll welcome Khalil Smith (Akamai Technologies) and Dr. David Rock to explore this complicated conflict — and point to evidence-based practices for closing the connection gap without forcing a return to office. -
What are the connections between cognitive capacity, motivation, threat, and reward?
How do organizations that prioritize psychological safety differ — in terms of business performance — from those that don't?
What cognitive levers should organizations think about when executing change initiatives in order to manage threat, motivate their teams and drive positive business outcomes?
On this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, Dr. Emma Sarro and Dr. Ryan Curl provide answers to these questions and more — sharing key findings from our latest NeuroLeadership Journal, "Managing Threat Response in the Workplace". -
On the season 10 premiere of Your Brain at Work Live, we'll dig deep into the trends, breakthroughs and scientific insights uncovered at the 2023 NeuroLeadership Summit.
Facilitated by our Director of Leadership, John Edwards, and featuring leaders from all three of our practice areas, we'll share what we learned about:
• Augmented intelligence
• The future of DEI and what it will take to get there
• The evolution of talent and performance management
• Integrated approaches leaders can take to embed upskilling, re-skilling, and super-adaptivity in their company culture strategy -

When it comes time for organizations to flex their mindsets and set leaders up for success in an environment of constant change, what can science tell us about how to get it done? How do we build a regenerative, resilient, and adaptive talent ecosystem? Who's demonstrating what great looks like in the real world?
In the third and final episode of our special series, future Proof Your Leadership with neuroscience, our global vice president of culture and leadership, Matt Summers, answers these questions and more with the help of special guest Kath Carmean, an Organizational Development Partner at The Aerospace Corporation.

In a world where people can locate information with a few keystrokes, how has learning changed? What makes learning effective — and what pitfalls do leaders face when trying to make learning accessible and sustained?
In this episode of Your Brain at Work Live, Alyssa Abkowitz — our global head of Product and Content — interviews Dr. David Rock about the first principles we should all keep in mind as we navigate new paradigms in learning at work. Listen closely — you might just find some insights for the AGES. -
In times of change, we rely on our leaders for guidance and support. However, not all leaders feel comfortable coaching, or haven't figured out how to help employees feel psychologically safe enough to voice their questions or experiences.
Join Dr. David Rock (Co-Founder & CEO, NLI) and Alyssa Abkowitz (VP, Global Product & Content) as they explore:
• Why and how coaching benefits organizational effectiveness.
• What quality coaching systems look like, based on science.
• How organizations have leveraged coaching to improve talent and performance outcomes.
Together, we'll explore effective ways to drive impactful conversations, navigate difficult ones, and build new habits. -
In the second in a series of episodes on human-centric leadership hosted by Matt Summers, the NeuroLeadership Institute's Global Vice President of Culture & Leadership, we explore how leaders can overcome the employee apathy conundrum by understanding that goal focus and people focus don't have to be at odds—showing how integrating the two can drive better talent and business outcomes.
-
Why is it that there's a crisis of confidence in leaders impacting organizations around the world right now?
What can organizations do about their talent pipeline and employee development lifecycle?
How does the neuroscience of learning figure into all of this?
In the first of a three-part series on Human Centric leadership hosted by our Global Vice President of Culture & Leadership, Matt Summers, we begin digging into these questions and more — illuminating the path to more adaptive, innovative organizations with evidence-based methods. -
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. -
It wasn't until June 2021 that the United States Federal Government formally recognized Juneteenth as a federal holiday — but while that recognition may have been delayed, the wisdom we can take from stories of African-American resilience have been with us all along.
In this episode, we welcome Dr. Michaela Simpson, the NeuroLeadership Institute's Global Vice President of Research and Innovation; and Janet M. Stovall, our Global Head of DEI — to share a neuroscientific perspective on this tradition of resilience, and what a more inclusive, equitable world might look like going forward. -
For the first time in history, five generations — representing nearly a century of experience — are active in today's workforce. With that comes both challenges and opportunities in terms of communications, expectations, and compliance.
In this episode of Your Brain at Work, we bring a generationally diverse panel of thinkers at the NeuroLeadership Institute — including Dr. Michaela Simpson, our global head of research and innovation; Nichole Hoskins, our global head of people; and Ariel Roldan, a business development associate — to explore the differences and commonalities across the five generations bringing their brains to today's workforce. - Show more
