	A couple of years ago a friend of mine and his son&nbsp;traveled&nbsp;through northwestern Zimbabwe when they noticed some vultures in the trees ahead of them. They decided it was a good a time as any to stop and stretch their legs and also to see what the birds were up to. They got out of the car and slowly walked through the tall grass and undergrowth towards the patch of trees where they could now also see more activity on the ground. Suddenly a startled lioness got up from...]]></description>

“The gene was the central issue in biology in the 20th century. The mind is the essential issue for biology in the 21st century.”&nbsp;–&nbsp;Eric Kandel
At the risk of coming over as arrogant or self-conceited for saying this about an esteemed Nobel Prize winner, I suspect that Eric Kandel completely underestimates the impact that brain science would have in the 21st century. While it may very well be the major focus in biology, neuroscience is also completely transforming many...]]></description>

	“So I realise that I have to change the way in which I’m leading people. Can you give me just five things I can do to be a better leader from now on?” In the nearly two decades that I’ve been involved in leadership development I have been asked variations of this question a zillion times.

	In a sense expecting a shortcut to better leadership is probably a manifestation of the “Seven Steps to This” and “Ten Steps to That” quick-fix culture of our time. However, it is also a...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	Although great progress has been made in the war on racism it is an evil which persists to haunt us. From the London&nbsp;Olympic&nbsp;Games to the run-up for the&nbsp;American presidential election&nbsp;to workplaces all across the globe friction and conflict based on racial differences is still very much part of life in the Global Village. In this article I take a look at what neuroscience reveals about some of the processes in our brains related to aspects of *racist behaviour.

	The owner of a car dealership I once knew was regarded by most who knew him as a complex man. He demanded that each working day started with a motivational team talk which was compulsory for all employees. An hour later the staff and patrons of the take-away restaurant across the road would roll their eyes and shake their heads as his daily ranting started – furiously shouting and swearing at employees who somehow managed to trigger his extremely sensitive temper.

A few days ago I was in a bookstore and just about to pay when the cashier – a young lady – was interrupted by a colleague demanding to know why she had left her lunch box out on the table in the back room where I presume the staff took their meals. The cashier blushed, mumbled some vague reply and then went along to make a complete hash of the transaction, punching the wrong keys and making more mistakes as she tried to rectify the mess.

	On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 indicating “no trust” and 10 indicating “complete trust”, where would you rate the level of trust in your organization? Low levels of trust may explain why you’re currently struggling and if it’s not addressed, it may soon become the epitaph on your organization or team’s tombstone.

	Watching the D-Day landing of Allied forces on the coast of Normandy as portrayed in the epic&nbsp;Saving Private Ryan&nbsp;with my son recently, I was once again struck by the mind-boggling obedience of soldiers as they stormed onto the beach while literally being blown apart by enemy fire. How do leaders gain that level of power over men to order them to near certain death and still have them obey?

	When you think of the future, what do you see? Does it look like the past or the present, or is it perhaps very different from the world we now live in? It might come as a surprise to some, but the mental images or pictures we have of the future actually influences the occurrence of the very future we see in that picture.

	Consider the popular images of our time: airplanes smashing into the Twin Towers, the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand, the inauguration of&nbsp;Barack...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[
	Recent research shows that those with the most power are most likely to behave in an unethical manner. Is there anything leaders can do to prevent us from succumbing to the pitfalls of increased power? How can we be sure that the values and ethical norms we now profess will stand if discarding them becomes a stepping stone to much greater personal achievements and rewards?

	People who don’t have much and are struggling to survive are forced to fend for themselves and would therefore be more likely to “do what it takes” even if it means cheating and behaving unethically, right? Wrong – a&nbsp;recent study&nbsp;at the Berkeley University of California found that the rich and those of higher socioeconomic status are more likely to cheat, fail to observe traffic laws and even take candy from kids.

	We are currently living in the 4th&nbsp;Revolution – a strange and unpredictable period where the interaction between information and communication technologies has created a snowball-effect causing change to literally become the only constant. Sociologists distinguish three previous revolutions which completely changed the way humans live: the&nbsp;agrarian&nbsp;revolution, the&nbsp;printing&nbsp;revolution, and the&nbsp;industrialrevolution. However, the impact of the 4th...]]></description>

	Since the luxury passenger cruiser Costa Concordia sank off the Tuscan coast last Friday, the media have been screaming accusations against its captain for abandoning ship while many passengers were still on board. Captain Francesco&nbsp;Schettino’s somewhat bizarre explanation that he didn’t intend to abandon the ship but that he “slipped and fell into a lifeboat while helping passengers” did not add to his credibility or defence.

         <description><![CDATA[
	Are women able to be effective leaders in the globalized, ever-changing corporate environment of the 21st Century? What advantages/disadvantages do they have compared to men as leaders?

	In the African context this topic is very relevant as its often bee proposed that female leadership is perhaps the single most under-utilized force on this continent. However, all across the globe women seem to be stepping up in leadership roles - is this perhaps because of new leadership models requiring...]]></description>
