Discover how integrating rational thought and "gut feelings" together will make you a calmer, more powerful leader
Business leaders today face unprecedented challenges—and it's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number and complexity of nonstop decision making. To further complicate matters, you may believe that some decisions require rational (brain) decision making, while others call for you to "go with your gut." In The Steadfast Leader, you'll discover that integrating the two—brain and gut—will help you become the calm, steadfast and powerful leader you want to be.
With their combined expertise in both business and medicine, Dr. Geoffrey VanderPal and Dr. Randy Brazie frame the latest scientific understanding of the human nervous system, drawing on Polyvagal Theory to show how the brain and the gut (connected by the vagus nerve) make decisions together. Helping to put an end to the tension caused by "either-or," they show how using "both-and" works better in every situation. Packed with eye-opening research, case studies, and relatable examples from the business world, The Steadfast Leader provides practical, cutting-edge neuroscientific concepts to help you stay focused and make better decisions—for yourself, your team, and your organization.
Inside you'll learn how to:
