Neuroscience for Organizational Change

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is a great synthesis of scientific research and practical implementation. It enables readers to understand the science and then apply it to improve both their own performance and that of their teams." * Vincent Walsh, Emeritus Professor of Human Brain Research, University College London * "Hilary Scarlett has achieved something remarkable, an immensely readable guide to the way that modern work impacts upon our minds. Anyone wanting to improve the impact of their job on them or their teams will be enthralled by it." * Bruce Daisley, bestselling author of Fortitude and The Joy of Work * "To me, leadership is fundamentally about change. Yet change, of course, is nearly always resisted and extremely hard to achieve. This excellent book has helped me to understand why this is, and how to respond effectively, thus greatly increasing the likelihood of any change programme being successful." * Richard Deverell, Director, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew * "This book interprets fantastically the latest understanding from neuroscience to our working world. From navigating relationships, to dealing with change and stress, the insight, evidence and depth of study enables us all to optimize our potential and that of those around us. This third edition is updated with interesting new research and continues to be a source of great wisdom. A must-read resource for all leaders and aspiring leaders!" * Paula Leach, Author, Founder & Executive Coach, Vantage Points Consulting * "Grounded in relevant research and rich with insight, this book is both enlightening and practical. Every professional engaged in behaviour change will benefit from its up-to-date, applied perspective. Hilary Scarlett masterfully bridges the 'why' of change with the 'how' of our brain's resistance to it. To approach behaviour change without the scientific foundation this book offers is to work with an unnecessary disadvantage." * Theresa Moulton, Editor-in-Chief, Change Management ReviewTM * "In a world of constant change, understanding how the brain responds is essential for effective leadership. Hilary Scarlett's work powerfully shows why leaders must approach change with empathy, helping them support their teams in smarter, more human ways. This book is an essential guide for anyone who wants to lead with both insight and compassion." * Sophie Bialaszewski, Head of Colleague Experience and Adoption, Lloyds Banking Group * "The book is clearly written, highly readable, insightful and packed with actionable ideas. The new content on neurodiversity and psychological safety provides guidance that a leader can valuably implement with every team they work with." * Alison Crosland, Chief Operating Officer, Keating Chambers * "This is an outstanding read, packed full of compelling evidence and generously thought provoking. For any HR professional looking to get under the human skin of organizational change it's a biblical handbook, helping to sense-make the stuff we know intrinsically to be true. This is not just a book about neuroscience, it's a neuroscience enterprise in itself, rich insightful learning, presented in short, digestible chunks and coated with practical suggestions and ideas. Piquing our curiosity and encouraging us to remember every page." * Dr Neil Wooding CBE, Civil Service Commissioner and NHS Board Chair * "Hilary Scarlett manages what few do in this space: she brings neuroscience into organizational change without dumbing it down or dressing it up. In a field thick with neuro-myths and brainy buzzwords, this book is both academically robust and intensely useful." * Paul Gibbons, author of The Science of Organizational Change *
