Center for Neuro Intelligent Leadership
Our brain defines who we are. What causes our behavior? How can we reach our full potential? What leads to more social cooperation in an ever-changing dynamic world? Neuroscience knows the answers to these questions.
The St. Gallen Center for Neuro Intelligent Leadership develops and implements standardized as well as customized programs for management development. The programs aim to create a "brain-friendly" environment in your organization, supporting the long-term implementation of positive behavior changes. Based on our know-how about the advantage of brain rules - the rules by which our brain works - the St. Gallen Center for Neuro Intelligent Leadership supports your managers in order to access their full potential, provide a healthy performance and to responsibly manage your company.
New neuroscientific findings have given us significant insight into the brain regions that are involved in the development of our potential, emotion regulation, social cooperation and the recovery of confidence. These insights provide new ways to rethink the core processes of our decisions and behavior and therefore play a crucial role in manager development. Executives develop a strong mental and behavioral flexibility, which is an important criterion for a successful leadership - especially in a world where change is the only constant. This helps your company achieve a sustainable and healthy performance. In addition, our scientific touch helps understanding how our brain works, why changes might be necessary, and how they can be implemented in practice - with the highest probability of success. Our courses are based on hard scientific facts and are regularly updated with new scientific evidence.
