      The latest in neural science applied to leadership is my kind of book. The authors recognized how the leadership market is so ready for these new science-based insights about decision making, personal growth and influence. The field of neuropsychology is rapidly progressing. We used to postulate and then wait to observe behavior. Now scientists can postulate and watch the brain at work immediately. Get ready to re-learn how leaders must think. The venerable darlings to drop include Maslow's Pyramid and the 10,000-hour rule. What replaces them are dozens of usable discoveries.

The concept of flow is prevalent in several sections, including how to achieve it as an individual and again as a team. This book reads fast and is worth the investment of time. Handy summaries at the end of each chapter will enable a quick refresher on any of the nine topics
