The Neuroscience of Why Change Fails and What Actually Works

BY D. R. BOVIS · CREATOR OF BTFA™ · MSc APPLIED NEUROSCIENCE

Boss Brain: The Neuroscience of Why Change Fails and What Actually Works, by D. R. Bovis

Behaviour is the outcome.
The brain is the system.

FROM THE COVER OF BOSS BRAIN
WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Change fails in the brain before it fails in the plan.

Organisations invest in strategy, process and tools, then wonder why behaviour doesn't follow. Boss Brain explains the human system underneath, and what leaders can do about it.

01

People

Why people don't resist change, they resist threat, and what a leader's behaviour signals to the brains around them.

02

Decisions

How beliefs shape what we predict, notice and decide, long before the rational case is made.

03

Change

Why well-designed transformations stall after launch, and what the brain is protecting when they do.

04

Performance

How leaders create the conditions in which people think clearly, collaborate and deliver under pressure.

INSIDE THE BOOK

Three parts. One model.
