Abstract
In today's dynamic workplace, human resource development and management (HRDM) professionals face multifaceted challenges requiring advanced cognitive abilities. This book chapter explores the critical interplay between leadership skills, decision-making, and executive functions (EFs) in HRDM. It sheds light on their pivotal role in shaping workplace dynamics and organizational outcomes. Focusing on skills such as emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and continuous learning, the chapter delves into their neurocognitive underpinnings, particularly within the prefrontal cortex. It discusses strategies for enhancing EFs, including reflective practice, empathy training, and mindfulness, and emphasizes the concept of neuroplasticity in fostering continuous learning and adaptation within HRDM. By integrating insights from neuroscience into HR practices, the chapter offers valuable guidance for HR professionals seeking to optimize organizational performance, enhance leadership qualities, and drive effective decision-making processes.
