Research on “Feeling Leadership” using Mirror Neurons and Neuroscience

The most stunning recent discovery in behavioral neuroscience is the identify action of mirror neurons in widely dispersed areas of the brain. Italian neuroscientists found them by accident while monitoring a particular cell in a monkey’s brain that fired only when the monkey raised its arm. One day a lab assistant lifted an ice cream cone to his own mouth and triggered a reaction in the monkey’s cell. It was the first evidence that the brain is peppered with neurons that mimic, or mirror, what another being does. This previously unknown class of brain cells operates as neural Wi-Fi, allowing us to navigate our social world. When we consciously or unconsciously detect someone else’s emotions through their actions, our mirror neurons reproduce those emotions. Collectively, these neurons create an instant sense of shared experience. Mirror Neurons have particular importance in organizations, because leaders’ emotions and actions prompt followers to mirror those feelings and deeds. This fully fledged monograph give you detail idea how to understand and practice Feeling Leadership using Mirror Neurons and Neuroscience.
