1、Critically discuss the role of neuroscience for the selection and development of leaders 1.IntroductionAn extremely significant foundation part of the research on leadership can be traced back to 1973 by the former Harvard University professor David McClelland() in the flagship Psychology Journal. H

2、e pointed out that if an organization wanted to work for a particular position hiring or selecting the best candidate, such as a leadership role, then it should abandon the general measurement at that time. What the organizations need to do is not testing candidates intelligence quotient (IQ), techn

3、ical skills, their personalities , or just looking at their resume, what they should first is studying those who had already performed excellently in work , and systematically making comparisons between those who did not perform well and them. (Cary er al ,2001) Professor McClelland said, then, you

4、should choose those who have the same ability as the great staff, or help your employers develop these abilities. The proposed hatch out of todays standard operating practices of world-class organizations - developing an ability model to identify leadership, selecting and promoting potential leaders

5、. In recent years, people have become more and more clear that what kinds of strategies should be used to comply with the brains operative functions, so as to make life and work more efficiently.(Waldman et al., 2011) The research indicated that the brains various operations stores all kinds of habi

6、ts,as well as feelings and thoughts towards external stimuli. Most of the time, in order to save energy, people tend to use automatic mode ,for instance,the route that one drives from home to company, and one may go to the nearest Starbucks to buy a cup of coffee after parking, etc.However,we begin

7、to get rid of those routines,so we try to make some conscious changes in our daily life, as well as the aspect of the selection and development of leaders. If we could understand the principles of neuroscience and utilize them properly,the selection and development process of leaders would be more e

8、fficient.2.The relationship between neuroscience and leadership development what consists of leadership? Combining cognitive knowledge of neuroscience and theories of leadership will help us answer this question(Senior et al, 2011,p.807,). Besides, neuroscience could be used as a tool to identify an

9、d develop effective leadership (Waldman et al., 2011). Additionally, neuroscience helps us to understand the relationship of organizational behaviors and the brain(Senior et al, 2011,p.804,).Last but not least, brain activity related to the leadership ability could be used by neuroimaging techniques

10、, so as to set a starting point to cultivate new leaders and better leaders. The term Neuroleadership was put forward by David Rock The emerging Neuroleadership is aimed at using cognitive neuroscience technology to help leaders improve their leadership. (Rock, D.Schwartz,J,2006)Currently the resear

11、chers are focusing on how to identify effective leaders the state of mind, and it is expected to quickly promote to the intervention phase. Changing leaders brains, changing theirs mindsets, letting them become better leaders will no longer be a dream.The research also shows that the neural feedback

12、 which is created for business leaders is almost as the same as the cultivation way of sharpshooter. That is to say, the two groups are both equipped with EEG devices and tactile feedback mechanism. Once the users begin the relevant activities, the equipment will enter into the training state. When

13、the users step in the the ideal state of leadership such as empathy or concentration, they will receive real-time feedback and encouragement. Through this method, leaders lack of leadership talent will be beneficial from neuroscience, even the already excellent leaders will get more advantages from

14、it. 3.Case studies:the role of neuroscience for the selection and development of leaders A study presided over the interview on a leadership role by the administrative department of Johnson & Johnson Group was observing the candidates during the interview to get the frequency of laughter, and then i

15、n the subsequent two years of tracked their trajectory to see which of them become business elites. The study found that outstanding leaders made the interviewers laughed twice more than that of ordinary administrative personnel . Researchers also spoke to the senior leaders, almost half of them wer

16、e domestic and foreign famous enterprises CEOs or general managers,in the US and they were in their higher or lower career stages During the conversation, compared with those mediocre leaders, those outstanding leaders put foward three times even more humorous ideas. And the most effective leaders c

17、ould be more handy to use the sense of humor, even if at the time of hurry, they could still use interactive adjustment to hide emotions and spread positive messages. Although leaders say may only for dry - a clause in the contract, the details of the business plan - but a number of wonderful sense

18、of what a laugh out of the secret weapon is leaders to maintain good interpersonal relations. Intuition is an essential leadership skill, not only it can be used in professional aspects such as technology, but also can be applied to life wisdom such as business decisions. For those leaders who hold

19、clear self-consciousness, this kind of intuition is a natural and inherent talent A study in neuroscience indicates that acting according to our instinctive senses can help us find the meaning of the data, and thus make better decisions.Therefore our emotional memory have the ability to analyze data

20、 more efficiently for us . Nowadays, science tells us that emotion is a part of the rational sense, not the opposite side of rationality. As we extend farther outward, what we face is nothing but another new, uncertain boundary.The most efficient use of high emotional intelligence leadership is prod

21、uced by those extremely wise leaders while creating emotional resonance. This theory reveals the the relationships between basic principles of neurology and emotional intelligence skills based on them. Therefore, leaders have good self consciousness can understand their values, goals, and dreams. Th

22、ey clearly know where they will be taken to and also why they will be guided to this direction.For example, they will be able to firmly refuse to a financial tempt but they do not conform to the principles or work invitation to long-term goals. Instead, a lack of self consciousness of people is like

23、ly to tread on their inner value and make decisions instead of, to the heart of riots and unrest the stage. Remuneration looks very good, so I signed the contract, with self consciousness of people at the time of decision will depend on auxiliary decision-making, to choose their values, so they tend

24、 to be more able to find their work motivation and passion. Perhaps the most vivid self-awareness of people see feature is a tendency for introspection and ponder. Self-awareness stronger people usually find time to quiet reflection, often stepped aside to calm to think alone, which makes them able

25、to consider things carefully, not impulsive, rush to respond. Many outstanding leaders, in fact, they will be fostered in the mental life of introspective thinking patterns into their working life. For some, this means that prayer or meditation, while for others is a kind of self understanding more

26、philosophical exploration. Self conscious leaders have all of these features, they can in the time to act with conviction and passion necessary to arouse resonance. Mood is so contagious, especially within the group, leaders emotions have huge impact on staff. Those leaders who keep optimistic and s

27、trong emotions can make their employee optimistic, even under great pressure, they still can naturally radiate the positive feelings and keep their teams in harmony. They take control of affection and impulse, create a environment full of trust and fair, leaders self management has a effect of posit

28、ive investment. When the boss consistently reveals a gentle and quiet attitude, no one would want to be a well-known impatient man. Even if it is for competitive reasons, self management is very important without any doubt. In todays uncertain business environment, companies are constantly merged or

29、 split, with the development of science and technology, work is in the condition of rapid transformation, so only the leaders with the ability to control their own emotions could be better able to adapt to changes, and help organizations adjust and adapt to the new situation as soon as possible. Lea

30、ders must have the ability to express and transfer their information. A convincing and persuasive leader can naturally reveal emotional resonance and use a a positive way to convey emotions. They are good at evoking peoples dream to move peoples hearts. The dream can trigger optimism, sympathy or so

31、me other senses of connection-each inspiration will point to a bright and hopeful future.At the brains level, such information conveys positive emotions around the neural circuits and the left anterior frontal area was the center. This region of the brain also plays a role as the key to motivation.

32、When these positive ideas spread, a team can revolve around the common goal to actively struggle for it For instance, Martin Luther King, Jr. used his passionate, powerful speech I have a dream to mobilize all American people to fight and thus launched the Civil Rights Movement in the United States,

33、.His speech show ed such a beautiful world that all people have equal opportunities. As a conclusion, social consciousness , especially empathy, has the decisive significance for leaders to promote and drive resonance. 4.ConclusionLatest findings related to the mood and human brain make the neurolog

34、ical basis of these emotional abilities more clear. It also enables us to more thoroughly describe their dynamic sketches, at the same time provide practical guidance for us to exercise and cultivate leadership skills. The emotional intelligence ability is not innate talent, it can be learned and ma

35、stered by nurture. Each kind of emotional ability has its own unique role that can make the leaders easier to arouse peoples resonance, and therefore bulid more efficient teamwork and reach the goals . It is also proved that the differences between different cultures are not so obvious, in fact, aro

36、und the world, people recognize the same emotional intelligence ability the results. So no matter where a company business is located, the emotional intelligence ability will play an important role, and on a global scale it can be unified to assess. Study of neuroscience and leadership building seem

37、 to have been the mark that science and technology enslave human. Last decades wave of functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had let the scientists come up with exciting discoveries such as how human brain act in the process of decision making and how to carry out moral trade-offs . However, t

38、his kind of research is often exaggerated. Just like other new concepts which aim at attracting investment and creating eyeball-effect, Neuroleadership may probably give managers some certain promises, while on the other hand, the potential huge profit in it will also prompt some speculators to take

39、 on the profitable lift ride. Additionally people may be fooled by its flashy language promotion, but the received information may turn out to be our common sense.(Rock, D.Schwartz,J,2006)To develop new behaviors, we must reshape the concepts that have rooted in staffs brain neurons. Cultivation of

40、new mode means that, in order to consciously overthrow the pleasant neuron model of leadership, it will usually lead to sense of pain, at the same time it also needs to use the the prefrontal cortex, which manages the plans and schemes, all of those will make people to consume more effort and energy

41、. Therefore during work, being forced to try something new often causes fear, anger, impulse of escaping etc.,or the fatigue which is not consistent with the actual challenge. If people are controlled by these kinds of emotions, they will resist changes, meanwhile their ability of rational and creative thinking will be weakened, even worse, fights, passive compromise or secretly damaging will take place. In order to avoid these situations, people need to prepare in advance,cognitively face the source of intense negative emotions when changing themselves, and explore the effect
