Effective leadership skills are among the most important skills for graduates aiming to pursue management careers not only in the private but also public sector. This unit will introduce students to the latest research on the physiological foundations of effective people management. By integrating research findings from the fields of neuroscience, genetics, chronobiology, and endocrinology, this unit will provide a novel perspective on effective and sustainable leadership practices. Students will learn how neurological processes, genes, hormones, chronotypes, and circadian rhythms affect how leaders, and their followers think, feel, and behave at work. The aim of this unit is to equip students with a sound understanding of how the human body and mind interact to determine the performance and well-being of leaders and their capacity to effectively lead in today's complex and turbulent business environments.
