Mini Course Syllabus

This is the summarized version of the course syllabus, which is subject to change.

In an ever-changing environment and amid all technological advances bringing us closer to one another within society and the business world, there is a need to revamp the definition of a leader. Today leadership plays a crucial role in inspiring people to perform, making operations smoother and organizations more competitive while considering sustainability challenges and impending events that impact the business environment. In this course, you will learn fun and interesting facts about your brain and how you can rewire it to optimize your influence in the workplace as well as in the social setting. You will discover how various branches of psychology and neuroscience can be applied to leadership, cognitive and emotional triggers & biases, role of neuroplasticity, and how memory functions among others. Accordingly, you will learn how to train your brain to work more efficiently in analysis and decision making and how to create favorable perceptions in the workplace.
