Abstract: Abstract The notion of leadership must be redefined beyond the traditional vertical exercise of power, the easy way of leading. Leadership is more demanding and cannot be dissociated from followership. It should be considered as a process which engages leaders and followers to collaborate and learn within a motivating cultural context. This approach leads to a reference model, the creative leadership model where leaders have to break away from the comfort of being driven by their natural predispositions and biases. Despite the multiplicity of convincing models of leadership, leaders regularly fail to follow these prescriptive models because they do not sufficiently consider the limitations of their own human nature and the challenge of motivating people. They have to learn about how the brain functions in the same way that sports professionals work hard to understand the functioning of their body. This is where neuroscience can help.
