Connecting Leadership to the Brain intends to facilitate the formulation of new leadership perceptions and behaviour. In attempting to do so, this book does not present prescriptive formulae, recipes or "list" directives. Rather, it presents a framework for constructing personal understanding of the implications of emerging knowledge about human intelligence for leadership practice. Specifically, it presents a framework designed to advance leadership that is mindful, rather than mindless, of the nature and nurture of intelligence. In essence it is a framework for aligning leadership behavior to the advancement of collective capacity of individuals in the organization to think, learn and achieve purpose. This framework is motivated by three assumptions: a new day requires new perspective, a framework for reflection facilitates perceptual shift, there is no universal prescription for leadership.
