Title: Your Brain Isn’t Built For Work: The Faulty Model Behind Modern Management.

Description: In this episode of Work’s Not Working… Let’s Fix It! neuroscience-based executive coach Bruna de Palo challenges some of the ideas about the brain that still shape leadership and HR practice.

She explains why the brain is constantly predicting what might happen and managing its energy accordingly, and what that means for how we understand stress, resistance to change, disengagement and performance at work.

We explore how leaders can create conditions that leave people spending less energy on protection and more on thinking, learning and contributing.
