Abstract: The human brain is the main controller of our nervous system and therefore also of our body. Similarly, leaders are the main controllers of organizations and of the culture within an organization. Neuroleadership has begun to emerge as a leadership approach that is gaining importance because it provides an individual contribution to the solution of problems within an organization. Neuroplasticity has a vital impact in accomplishing sustainable behavior change for executives, managers, and workers to develop into the leaders they need to be. Neuroleader managers are people who try to understand the working stages of the brain in the best way, thus reaching the best level in terms of managing work and positively affecting their organization, which includes people who are in leadership roles. This study aims to determine the contributions of neuroleadership to school administrators and teachers for the development of organizational behavior in primary schools in the northern part of Cyprus. It is expected that this current study will pinpoint the positive contributions of neuroleadership to school administrators, teachers, and education systems, as well as neuroleadership behavior toward the positive development of organizational behavior. The findings of this study are also expected to inform policy and practice. A qualitative research method was used in the study because it provides an in-depth and detailed perspective of the participants. Data were obtained through joint remote interviews, and the data were analyzed using quantitative content analysis. The findings show that both school administrators and teachers have significantly benefited from neuroleadership. In the research, it was concluded that a neuroleader can have a direct effect on the participation of team members in work, and such an organizational culture will increase the success of the organization.
