In this episode we welcome Dr. Michael Platt, Director of Wharton Neuroscience Initiative. With over two decades as a professor and practitioner in neuroscience, psychology, and marketing, Platt's pioneering research has deepened our understanding of how key areas of the brain work—and how that understanding can be applied in business settings. We discuss the intersection of neuroscience and leadership, the development and applications of neuroeconomics, the impact of social-emotional intelligence, and strategies to enhance leadership effectiveness. The conversation covers the importance of making informed decisions, the role of neuroscience in business, the significance of social connections, and the implications of remote work on team dynamics.

 

Be sure to check out his book, "The Leader's Brain, Enhance your Leadership, Build Stronger Teams, Make Better Decisions, and Inspire Greater Innovation with Neuroscience".
