Preface
The brain is a massive network of connections and the journey to this book also
started in the electronic web of connections and interactions—the Internet. Each of
us had developed a passion for neuroscience and its impact in business in different
locations. Professor Theo Peters and Argang Ghadiri had worked together on the
German version of this book and they first interacted with Andy Habermacher on an
online neuroleadership forum. They had been deeply impressed with the papers and
writings of Andy. Andy had separately developed his passion after being introduced
to neuroscience by Dr. Srinivasan Pillay during a course in New York focused on
executive coaching. This online interaction led to some personal discussion on how
we could collaborate closer and in what form. From this sprung forth the concept of
this book. This shows more than anything the power of the network and of networks
in general, whether they be social, electronic or in the brain itself.
This book is grounded in the German version and yet it is also different. We have
worked through it and turned it into an enriched English version – some concepts
have been added to, some more depth has been added. What you read here is the
result of a strong collaboration. It is the fruit of our efforts and it has blossomed into
what we feel is something that can give you value and powerful insights into the
brain and leadership. More than anything else we hope that these concepts will not
stay in the book but will be taken and implemented concretely in the workplace.
In our collaboration we have also had to practice what we preach over the
following pages and our collaboration has proven to be engaging, exciting, chal-
lenging and fun all at the same time. We have worked hard but enjoyed it
immensely. We have discussed ideas and also thrown out ideas but all understand-
ing the final goal we wanted to achieve. We have positively criticised and given
each other compliments where and when necessary. In short it has been hard work
but very much fun at the same time.
Indeed, any book a major product and requires commitment and hard work.
A book also is, in some respects, the product of the people who have helped to
develop us, the authors. It is the synthesis of ideas and thoughts and the knowledge
we have collected over the years, and many, many people have been involved in
this process. There have been people who have helped us directly and indirectly—
we have drawn from other authors, researchers, academics and scientists. We have
discussed amongst ourselves, with colleagues, on online forums and through our
formal work. Many of the ideas can be traced to individuals but much cannot be.
