Neuroleadership Research Challenge for Systematic Literature Review in Kenya: A Documentary Analysis

George Kirigi, Jane W Kinuthia, Robert Gitau

Abstract


The purport of this literature review was to synthesise and present subsisting cognizance on neuroleadership, including concepts, theories, and research findings, with the aim of incrementing understanding of its potential to inspire a replicable study in Kenya. Neuroscience-predicated approaches have had little presence in studies in the field of leadership and healthcare leaders in public hospitals. Neuroleadership, an emerging field that bridges cognitive neuroscience and leadership and holds great promise in enhancing leadership efficacy. While the paucity of research shows neuroleadership is neglected in Kenya, it is a promising area that coalesces neuroscience and leadership to provide a comprehensive understanding of leaders and to amend decision making quality.

Keywords: neuroscience; leadership; neuroleadership; neuroplasticity
