Janet Crawford
“Applying neuroscience to leadership matters. Intelligence is our greatest strategic asset, yet we live and work profoundly out of sync with our own biology. The fundamental role of great leadership is to create places of work where the highest level of collective intelligence can emerge and flourish. My vision is a world where innovation, engagement, health, caring and accountability are common denominators in business.”
