Read more for a clearer understanding

Q

I keep reading about new research into our brain and how we can change our thought processes. I’m very interested as I think it would help me to manage my team at work. Where would I go for more information?

There’s a wealth of data on the internet, which is a very good place to start. There are many theories so it’s good to read as much as possible to get a general understanding. David Rock, a leading figure in the world of neuroscience and leadership and the author of Your Brain At Work and Quiet Leadership, has a very good website at davidrock.net. You’re right: it’s a growing field so understanding how our brains work and affect our feelings and thoughts can only be helpful, especially when trying to empathise with other people and how to relate to them.
