June Newsline

Our June-8 meeting featured Terry Wu

2+ million people have learned the Neuroscience of Human Decisions from Dr. Terry Wu. Dr. Wu received his Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Vanderbilt University. He has a 35-year career in Neuroscience. In his studies of applying Neuroscience to strengthen leadership, Dr. Wu found that leadership development focuses primarily on teaching leaders how to lead but not Why People Follow. He also found that leadership development relies on rare anecdotes and personal stories instead of science. These two weaknesses exacerbated the widespread leadership failures brought about by the pandemic. Dr. Wu’s research into the Neuroscience of Leadership has uncovered many unique and valuable insights that empower leaders to make their leadership more predictable and successful.

Thanks Terry for a great Learning Hour.

We are looking forward to a great meeting and thank you all for your support and wisdom.

We have a new sponsor from now until the end of the year and would like to thank Kare Sime of Your HR Navigator for making our meetings possible.
