This episode looks at neuroscience and organizational change. My guest on this podcast, Hilary Scarlett, is both a practitioner and an author and in the most recent edition of her book, she brings together the neuroscience of organizational change. I was particularly interested in getting this guest on as she has those two different perspectives.
