The human brain is a powerful tool, and as a leader, harnessing its potential can transform team dynamics. Imagine understanding what drives your team, making collaboration less about guesswork and more about strategy. This Hot Topic explores 'neuroleadership'—combining neuroscience and leadership strategies—to unlock creativity, boost engagement, and bring out the best in every individual, improving teamwork and focus.
Neuroleadership in Action: Using brain science for better teamwork
This hot topic draws insight from contemporary research on the role of AI within project management. We use this research to consider how the role of the project manager is facing a transformation. Due to this recent advance, project managers find themselves as pioneers of innovation by being able to use advanced analytics and predictive capabilities to drive strategic decision-making.
How AI is Transforming the Role of Project Managers
How often have you presented an argument – based on facts, figures, and robust research – but failed to convince people? The reality is that facts and rational arguments aren’t very good at altering people’s beliefs. In this Hot Topic, we discuss how using the power of narrative can support leaders in navigating the complexities of human psychology to bring about positive change.

Even if we possess superhero level potential, we are rarely aware of the full extent of our own hidden talents. With the advent of AI and technological progress, it is now more important than ever to optimise opportunities to unleash the full extent of our all-human potential. However, the question remains: how exactly can we increase our productivity, especially if we are not aware of our own unique innate skills and talent?

It’s easy to forget that people are different, and yet as leaders we tend to deliver the same leadership style that we are most comfortable with or which has worked for us in the past. Unfortunately, some leaders never change and remain locked into a single style of behaviour that can be inappropriate, sometimes trapped in delivering an inflexible leadership style that reinforces micro-management and reduces the potential of the team to innovate and realise their own full potential.

As our business and role progresses, we often have the possibility to meet and work with different people, organisations and stakeholders. This allows us to explore different skills around communication and negotiation, and to benefit from new relationships with other parties. Although we all wish these relationships were ideal, we can find ourselves working with difficult clients and stakeholders. If this is the case, how can we best work with our stakeholders to bring out the best outcomes?

The question of what makes a good leader is one that continues to interest and spark debate within contemporary business research and practice. Among the multitude of qualities we perceive to be desirable for a leader to possess, credibility is the one most frequently referred to as “the foundation of leadership”. We hope this Hot Topic will stimulate both discussion and self-reflection regarding the ways in which we can all work toward enhancing our credibility as leaders.
January 2023
In this Hot Topic, we explore the characteristics, outcomes, and potential effects of a coercive leadership style. We will shed light on how to bounce back from adversity by building resilience within yourself and your organisation.

What makes a great leader?
Sustain a positive and psychologically healthy workforce
Our professional development courses are available to individuals or teams. Funded via the apprenticeship levy, the UK’s government apprenticeship scheme.
You can now get the same leadership, management and customer service training as the world’s most successful companies – funded via the government apprenticeship levy.
The Apprenticeship Levy, now in its third year, can on the face of it appear complex and inflexible and is often overlooked as a solution to recurring HR and L&D challenges. The good news is, the Levy doesn’t have to be disruptive at all.
