The Brains Behind Leadership: Why Whole Brain Thinking Changes Everything | #18
Manage episode 480213409 series 3637721
What if the biggest leadership blind spot isn’t skill, experience, or knowledge, but how you think?
In this Leadership Unscripted episode of Unleash Your Impact, Unlock Others, Rich and Dave explore Whole Brain Thinking, the powerful model developed by Ned Herrmann that reveals how different thinking preferences shape the way we lead, communicate, and solve problems.
They dive into why understanding your own and others’ thinking styles is a game-changer for leaders, particularly when it comes to building trust, avoiding miscommunication, and flexing your leadership style under pressure.
You’ll also hear how Zentano uses Whole Brain Thinking in coaching and leadership development programmes, including the 12 June “Unlocking Inclusive Thinking” workshop at Stanbrook Abbey, where this model plays a central role.
🔥 And there’s more: this episode sets the stage for an exciting upcoming conversation with Ann Herrmann-Nehdi, Chair & Chief Thought Leader of Herrmann International and daughter of Ned Herrmann.
Key Talking Points:
- What Whole Brain Thinking is and why it matters in leadership
