Summary
You know what good leadership looks like. You've learned the models, tools, and techniques. And yet, under pressure, everything slips: conversations derail, tension builds, people resist. You fall back into old patterns, even when you know better. Why?
Because most leadership advice focuses on behaviour, without explaining what's actually driving it.
This book gives you that missing piece.
First, you'll understand how the brain works, cutting through the myths. Then, how to use it to solve real leadership challenges.
It translates modern neuroscience into clear, practical insight you can use immediately. Instead of remembering techniques, you understand what's happening and know how to respond.
You will learn to:
· Shape the conditions where people perform at their best
· Master your energy, not just your time
· Bridge generational and cultural gaps, turning friction into advantage
· Handle difficult conversations without the emotional hangover
· Apply small, practical shifts that work in real life, at work and at home
Through real stories, brain-based insights, and pressure-tested tools, you'll understand what's driving behaviour.
Then use it. That's the advantage nobody told you about.©2026 Bruna De Palo (P)2026 JOHN MURRAY (PUBLISHERS) LTD
