Advance Praise for The Leading Brain “The Leading Brain is the best integration of neuroscience and leadership that I have ever seen.” —Dr. Jonathan Schooler, neuroscientist and professor, University of California, Santa Barbara “Breathtaking. It’s both a lecture on modern sciences and kind of a thriller. I’ve never read a book on management so fast.” —Peter Gerber, CEO, Lufthansa Cargo “Real leadership begins and ends in the brain. Science has changed the world throughout the ages and thanks to this book, it can now finally also change leadership for the good of mankind.” —Liam Condon, member of the board of management, Bayer AG, and CEO, Bayer CropScience “What an interesting and helpful book. Fabritius and Hagemann have introduced the most important findings of modern neuroscience to the business community —offering us a host of new skills to excel at work, and even with friends and family. It’s highly original, remarkably informative and insightful, even humorous in many spots. I am so happy to have read it! You will be too.” —Helen Fisher, PhD, senior research fellow, The Kinsey Institute, and bestselling author of Anatomy of Love “Enjoyable and informative. Covers much of what I teach my students, that they must take command of their own psychological machinery to be successful in any endeavor.” —Ken Singer, managing director, Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, University of California, Berkeley “Hagemann and Fabritius have gathered or generated great analogies and stories that support a skillful demystification of brain science without dumbing it down.” —Jeremy Clark, director, Innovation Services, PARC “Amusing and inspiring . . . and, for me, it was indeed a page-turner.” —Marcus Krug, head, SAP Intrapreneurship, SAP AG “The book is fantastic! Well-written, good examples, excellent structure. And, unlike so many business books, which can be an ordeal to get through, The Leading Brain also has a fine sense of humor. Reading it produces the very feeling of ‘flow’ that the authors describe so well.” —Matthias Hohensee, Silicon Valley bureau chief, Wirtschaftswoche “Very good, extremely helpful, great examples, a must-read.” —Klaus Poggemann, head of Legal, apoBank “An exciting, pragmatic journey through the fascinating workings of our minds and motivations. Managers who read The Leading Brain are sure to find a wealth of insights and strategies that they can easily and intuitively apply in the workplace. This one book could significantly change your leadership style.” —Malte Siewert, cofounder and managing director, Trivago An imprint of Penguin Random House LLC 375 Hudson Street New York, New York 10014 Copyright © 2017 by Friederike Fabritius and Hans W.
