002. The Brain's Guide to Bossing in 2023

Have you ever found yourself scratching your head, wondering how to light a fire under your team? Are you struggling to retain your top talent and prevent them from getting sucked out the door by your competitors? Do you wonder why management programs that garnered massive ROI and propelled the author CEO to best-seller status fail to bring the best out in your people? Well, prepare to have your mind blown because the answers you seek might not be in your dusty old management textbooks and the heads of charismatic leaders, but rather in the mind-boggling world of neuroscience.

Let's face it, our brains can seem like a tangled web of enigma. That’s because it is. But fret not, you don’t need to wear lab coats and acquire a Ph.D. in neuroscience for you to use what science has already learned about how our brains work. You don’t even need to recruit and hire a team of brilliant scientists because there's an all-star team of brain molecules, known as neurotransmitters, sitting on your bench just waiting for you to put them in the game.

And here's the kicker: these molecular marvels—dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—just might be your secret sauce to unleashing your team's untapped potential. These tiny titans reign over motivation, joy, and social bonds, firmly establishing them as the unsung heroes of your managerial toolkit.

Are you ready to unleash the power of neuroscience to become the manager you've always aspired to be—a master of motivation, a happiness hero, and a champion of camaraderie? Imagine emerging from this journey armed with the knowledge and strategies to supercharge your team's performance.

This isn't some dry, boring science lecture either. Oh no, my friend. It's an exhilarating exploration of the fascinating world inside your brain—a world that holds the key to your success as a manager.

Beginning Monday July 10, I’m going to kick-start this mind-opening exploration into the future of leadership. Get ready to dive deep into the science that will drive your success or failure in the future of work. Walk away with a fresh perspective and transformative management approach backed by science, not gleaned from an era of work long gone.

And best of all, I promise, no lab coats or complicated jargon required!
