The Neuroscience of Leadership in Faith Communities
Date: Friday, November 4, 2016 from 10:00 am (Registration at 9:00 am) to 3:00 pm (refreshments and light lunch included)
Location: University of San Francisco, Lone Mountain, Room 100
2698 Turk Street, San Francisco, CA 94117
(Registration link at end of this email)
In this highly interactive course participants will explore emerging research in neuroscience, leadership and decision-making. Brain imaging studies will be used to explain how we lead in faith communities and build relationships across boundaries. The course will pinpoint the areas where behaviors, attitudes, and practices can be affected by unconscious processes and subtleties. The course will review how unconscious decision-making can affect assessments of character, morality, warmth, authenticity, intelligence, threat, and competence. Participants will learn how empathizing with those from other communities, collaborating with congregants, and implementing new practices can all be helped or hurt by conditioned dispositions. The course will identify ways to increase fairness guided by science.
This is a follow-up to the rich dialogue we had on the role of faith leaders in the Civil Rights Movement. However, that session is not a prerequisite to attending this presentation.
Seating is limited!
