About this ebook
Seven leadership practices that work. We explain the research behind why each practice works and offer suggestions on how you can use it to improve personal and professional success.
Overview of Brain-Based Practices
Strengthen Your Willpower—Use precommitments and replenish your willpower before making key decisions.
Monitor Your Thinking—Learn when to trust your gut feelings and when to slow down and involve others in decisions.
Make Use of Mistakes—Reflect on things gone wrong to strengthen learning pathways in your brain.
Spread Positive Emotions—Smile. Your non-verbal, emotional cues have a greater impact on people than the content of your message.
Build Emotional Intelligence—Listen for what people are thinking and feeling in addition to what they are saying.
Use Exploratory Feedback—Reframe feedback as an exploratory dialogue to avoid provoking denial, defense and dislike.
Handle Reactions to Stress—Cultivate deliberate calm to reduce your automatic response to perceived threats.

Brain-Based Practices for Leaders
At Claxus, we believe leadership excellence can be achieved through dedication and practice. When business leaders share stories with us about the challenges they’re facing, they want to know which practices work -- and why.
Insights from the fields of neuroscience, behavioral economics and social psychology provide answers. The more we learn about how people think, feel and act, the better we get at leading ourselves and leading others.
This paper introduces seven brain-based practices for leaders. We explain the research behind why each practice works and offer suggestions on how you can use it to improve personal and professional success.
