As Giles explains, neuroscience confirms that a leader who acts consistently based on core and creates expectations in a clear manner, creates a safe and trusting environment. This activates areas of the brain related to creativity, social engagement and a drive to excellence.
We can now see the secret of successful leadership and why many leaders in Nigeria fail: they create mistrust instead of trust, so the wrong areas of our brain are activited while the part that drives creativity and a drive to excellence is dormant. How do they create distrust?
