Neuroscience for project success
Neuroscience for project success: Why people behave as they do, was written by Carole Osterweil and published by the Association for Project Management (APM) in 2022.
Imagine understanding how the brain works. What if you knew what drives emotions, behaviours and decision making – in you and others? If all actions were informed by knowing why people behave as they do, how would it impact project success?
Carole brings the magic of brain science into the reality of teamwork and projects using examples from real project professionals and explanations from some of the foremost brain, behavioural and social scientists.
This book takes the project professional into the science and practice of brain science on projects. It also creates a framework of practices and behaviours that will help any project team perform to a higher level and experience greater wellbeing.
