Chapter 3 in Change Leadership in Emerging Markets, 2020, pp 43-62 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces neuroscience and explains the relevance to change leadership. We explain the field of neuroscience, discuss the basics of brain anatomy and the principles of brain functioning. Our focus is on the normal functioning of the brain and the nervous system. For example, we share how self-directed neuroplasticity works and how it facilitates change. The important neurotransmitters and their impact on motivation and fight, flight or freeze receive attention in this chapter. We highlight the SCARF model of David Rock of NeuroLeadership and the application in the context of organisational change. We conclude with how reference to neuroscience knowledge can be applied in the Ten Enablers Model.
