Management Innovation and Leadership Skills are Impossible if You're in the Middle of a Amygdala Hijack

Janet Crawford

“Applying neuroscience to leadership matters. Intelligence is our greatest strategic asset, yet we live and work profoundly out of sync with our own biology. The fundamental role of great leadership is to create places of work where the highest level of collective intelligence can emerge and flourish. If any one of your employees is not showing up to work with full brain/ body engagement, you are squandering your only true competitive advantage." Janet Crawford

Welcome to a Leadership Channel podcast on Total Picture Radio. This is Peter Clayton Reporting. Joining us today is Janet Crawford, a leadership consultant I met at the NeuroLeadership Summit in New York. Janet’s professional background began with a decade of experience as an environmental scientist and leader in technical environments.

Based in San Francisco, Janet has consulted and coached in the Hi-tech, Bio-tech — Pharmaceutical, Financial Services, Education, and Non-profit sectors. She works on a variety of uses of neuroscience in organizations, including applications in the areas of innovation, diversity, decision-making, strategy and organizational resilience. An example of that work is a recent speaking engagement at the opening session for the Kauffman Fellows on the Entrepreneurial Brain. The Kauffman Fellows Program is a prestigious two year development program for up and coming venture capitalists.
