But what is neuroscience?

A useful working definition in our context is:
Neuroscience is about understanding how the brain works, so we can learn to control our responses, manage behaviors, and make resourceful choices.

Projects are all about people and the profession of project management is one of coordinating people to do difficult things for other people.

That’s what makes neuroscience a valuable study for project managers. The more we know about the topic, the better we can do our job.

The Heart of Neuroscience
Different brain structures deal with:
1. Survival: largely the brainstem
2. Emotions: largely, the limbic system
3. Reason: largely the cortex

Neuroscience tells us we need to do two things to keep our thinking brain in control:
1. Minimize perceived threats, or
2. Maximize perceived rewards

My video on the SCARF Model -    • What is the SCARF Model?   - is about the five factors that David Rock identified, which can be a source of threat or reward to our brains:
• Status
• Certainty
• Autonomy
• Relatedness
• Fairness

A good understanding of neuroscience will help you reduce stress in and around your project, increase motivation, improve communication, boost creativity, and sharpen decision-making.\n
