S8-Ep14: Getting Lost in the Language of Leadership

Guest: Jonathan Reams Leadership is nothing without thought -- and research shows we (literally!) think with our hearts as well as our minds.  Neurocardiology is just one way we're learning about how a good leader thinks.  The development of more robust thinking skills is vital in growing as a leader.  Jonathan Reams, of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, discusses the mindsets required for leaders to be effective. Here's what Jonathan and Maureen cover: What the science of neurocardiology shows about how a leaders’ emotions physically affect their teams; How the fall of Superman and rise of The Avengers in popular culture reflects the change in leadership the real world needs; and The thinking tools we need in a knowledge economy.
