Many real-life examples, tools, methods, and more show leaders how to apply cutting-edge Neuroscience to their daily leadership challenges, including change management, whether in a large corporate setting, small business, nonprofit, government entity, the military or turn-arounds.

Larry makes a comprehensive distinction between good managers and leaders, and offers a detailed explanation for the effective behaviors of both, clearly illustrating that not all good managers make good leaders, and vica-versa. 'Primordial Leadership' is the first valuable overview of effective leadership since Jim Collins first published 'Level 5 Leadership' in the Harvard Business Review 15 years ago.

Bravo!

As someone who has been applying neuroscience findings to education for years, I was thrilled to read Larry Duckworth's applications of the same principles in business leadership. I'm certain he is at the forefront of the next trend in executive leadership development. A must read for everyone in management or anyone who has a desire to move up the corporate ladder, Primordial Leadership will put you on the fast track toward leadership success.

Primordial Leadership explains away the hidden truths about the complex world of leadership by focusing on the learning function of the brain. The most interesting part of this read was the concise way Larry looks at Leadership. He describes in one book what we have learned by following Peter Drucker, Covey, Welch and other great leaders. This is a Top 10 Must Read for me. I will be recommending this book to my colleagues around the world.
