How can leaders use AI without weakening the judgement, creativity and critical thinking that leadership requires? Dr David Rock explains what neuroscience reveals about decision-making, cognitive bias, uncertainty and human performance.
This conversation is for leaders navigating a world of rising information overload, faster technology and increasing pressure. Dr Rock, Co-Founder and CEO of the NeuroLeadership Institute, coined the term neuroleadership and has spent decades translating cognitive science into practical tools for organisations and executives.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why leadership creates three recurring cognitive challenges: capacity, self-regulation and social cognitionWhy intelligent leaders can still make poor decisions under pressure
- How uncertainty affects the way people think, regulate emotion and understand others
- Why David argues that AI should keep the human in the lead, rather than outsourcing critical judgement
- Why recognising your own cognitive bias is harder than most leaders assume
- How the SEEDS framework helps teams identify recurring categories of bias
- How the SCARF model explains Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness and Fairness
- Why useful leadership frameworks require both scientific credibility and practical simplicity
