This week on Dear HR Diary, we crack open the brain(s)—yes, plural—with neuroscientist, executive coach, and author Carlos Davidovich, to explore how understanding the science behind our behavior can transform the way we lead.

Carlos introduces us to the concept of Five Brain Leadership, where instinct meets intellect, emotion meets logic, and your internal team of brains—yes, from the gut to the heart—can either sabotage or supercharge your leadership.

We dive into his groundbreaking work, his book Five Brain Leadership: How Neuroscience Can Help You Master Your Instincts and Build Better Teams, and real-life ways you can harness brain science to become a more effective, aware, and balanced leader.

This episode is part science, part soul, and 100% essential for anyone leading people in today’s complex workplaces.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

🧠 What the five brains are—and how they impact every decision you make
🫀 Why your heart and gut aren’t just metaphors—they’re full-blown neural hubs
🧩 How to align your “internal team” to show up as your best leadership self
🪞 The power of mindset: fixed vs. growth, and how to spot the difference in yourself and others
🧬 Why neuroscience is the future of leadership development
📚 Insights from Carlos’s book that every people leader should read
