S12 Ep 2The Challenges and Opportunities of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the organizational landscape. Not only does it provide organizations with a means to cut costs and enhance the quality of services, it can also optimize processes, productivity, and efficiencies, at scale. Despite the breadth of opportunities, organizations are still struggling to reap the full potential of an AI-fueled workforce. This is because reaching its full value requires companies to rewire how they work. On this episode of Your Brain at Work, Dr. David Rock and Dr. Emma Sarro discuss the challenges leaders face when working to implement AI into their processes and how to leverage neuroscience to turn challenges into opportunities. They’ll also discuss how a deep understanding of human cognition and the science of change management is the foundation for an AI-strategy that creates the right type of human-AI workforce that enhances productivity and innovation.

S12 Ep 1Leadership Now: Trends in Leadership Development Today

Your Brain at Work Live is kicking off the year with a new season and a look at the latest trends to watch in leadership development, a spin off of David Rock’s latest article published in Fast Company. We closed out the year with the staggering realization that change around us is exponentially increasing – 33% in just last year alone. From the volatile state of hybrid work to AI transformations and global polarization, change is likely to continue into 2025. In order to keep up, leaders have had the challenge of adapting just as fast and many are struggling, with 71% of CEOs reporting suffering from imposter syndrome. Whether leaders are able to meet the future challenges head on and turn them into opportunities depends in a large part on their development. This session will explore the key tools to leadership development, from the individual mindsets to embrace to the cultures that can be embedded.

S11 Ep 10Neuroscience of Proactive Accountability

Upended work conditions, increased pressure on organizations to perform and the exponential pace of change has put the spotlight on the need for accountability. Our own research has revealed that despite more than 90% of employees agreeing accountability is critical, 97% of managers and employees find it difficult to create. In many organizations, employees view accountability with fear, blame or punishment, a culture of punitive accountability that hinders growth and learning. However, while accountability provides the structure, direction, prediction our brains crave and organizations benefit from; the key is to do it with the brain in mind. Join Dr Emma Sarro and Dr David Rock as they explore the behaviors and expand on the neural underpinnings that embody a culture of proactive accountability, empowering individuals and teams to be accountable, fostering an effective and innovative environment.
