The complex and agile environment in which organisations operate today, with ever-changing technology penetrating every facet of our lives more than ever before, has led to a key challenge for the leaders of today, effectively managing change in organisations. The agile environment means organisations are required to go through changes on a regular basis and at a rapid pace. Today, leaders are required more than ever to understand the complex dynamics of human behaviour in organisations, to effectively navigate and manage change. Recent developments in the field of neuroscience have helped gain a much deeper, scientific understanding of human behaviour. Needless to say, the understanding of these neuroscience perspectives will open up tremendous opportunities for leaders to be more effective at the workplace. The article details a few such perspectives of neuroscience which are critical in change management and concurrent leadership development.
