Research and Applications of Neurotechnologies for Leadership

Abstract

Neuroleadership has emerged as a field combining neuroscience and leadership. It has gained increasing attention recently, attracting interest from academics, researchers, and practitioners. It refers to the brain functions that affect leadership abilities and how they make decisions and solve problems. Cognitive enhancement with neurofeedback and neurological assessment tools are discussed. Though evolving, virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) is helping with real-time neural data. All these tools are helping organizations in their leadership with neuroscience optimizing leadership behaviors and decision-making. Organizations must build strategies for using available research to implement neuroleadership, learn from the adoption, refine them, and then future-proofing leadership practices. Several methodological issues will be encountered in the research journey, but by staying focused and constantly optimizing, the organizations can decide what works best for them. The ethical use of tools and methods and the regulatory restrictions are to be watched.
