Science and Secrets of Influence Aligning Team Members and Stakeholders
Workshop
The ability to influence team members and stakeholders is what differentiates outstanding leaders from the pack. At the same time, leadership skills required to motivate people and influence their behavior are difficult to learn. Research shows that most attempts at teaching them are not very effective. According to the Academy of Management Journal, improvement in behavioral skills drops to 10% within three months of training. One reason for this is that the brain learns leadership behaviors differently than it learns cognitive or technical skills. Most training programs, however, do not differentiate the way they teach one from the other.
Learning leadership behaviors involves brain functions that orchestrate memory and emotions, called "limbic", whereas cognitive learning relies on the thinking part of the brain called the "neocortex". Teaching leadership through cognitive learning becomes ineffective because it fails to engage the mental-emotional processes that hold the key to limbic learning.
