Neuropsychology is one of the growing areas of interest in leadership. In simple terms, it focuses on the relationship between brain function and behaviour.

Back in 1990, at a time when I was young, ambitious and living in London, I embarked upon a new start-up adventure with Gunther, a very successful German businessman. I initially met Gunther at an international congress and he took a shine to me because I challenged his views and offered a different perspective. Although he was of a similar age to me, little did I know that he was extremely wealthy. His humble understated demeanour gave no hint of his self-made success and resources.

Last week our Director, Geoff Lorigan mailed another one of his reflective missives. A short personal leadership story that had meaning and relevance for many people – a number of whom reached out and requested a copy of the ‘The Economic Engine Framework’ that Geoff presented to Jim Slater, the UK business legend, back in January, 1990.
