Learn how to manage your emotions, energy and actions so that you can better lead others.


As a leader, can you say with assurance that you consistently show up as your best and inspire others to do the same? Too many leaders cannot, and the underlying message is that performance suffers. In The Biology of Leadership, expert executive coach Carl Oxholm demonstrates how leaders can harness their better instincts and tap into the remarkable potential that exists in every voice, to get the outcomes they want and need.


Drawing on key scientific insights and his decades of experience in corporate leadership roles, Oxholm showcases the relevance of biology to business. He offers techniques that leaders can use to become more intelligent about their emotions and shows how doing so can influence the bottom line. In this book, you will learn:

  • What drives your reactions and responses, so you can be a more effective leader
  • The important implications of the physiological fact that "we feel before we think"
  • How to direct the quality, focus, and expression of your energy as you lead others to success
  • The art (and science) of cocreating optimal results
  • How to develop conscious, intentional relationships so that the performance of your entire team flourishes
  • And much, much more

  • Each person is a biological wonder, a one-of-a-kind expression of life itself. This book helps you understand how your unique biology affects your ability to be, and how to make the greatest positive impact for yourself, others, and your organization.
