The NeuroLeadership Institute is being formed to coordinate research that connects neuroscience and leadership development. The Institute is being housed initially at CIMBA, in Italy, though other universities are invited to participate as well.

The expected areas of research include (an incomplete list) the following domains:
• Attention research: exploring how attention itself creates change in one and many brains
• Innovation: Understanding the physiology of insight and how to better solve complex challenges
• Critical thinking: understanding the physiology of problem solving and decision making
• Expectation research: how our expectations impact perception
• The social brain: the science of how we influence each other
• Cultural issues
• Systemic application of all the above areas
• The neuroscience of engagement and employee retention
• The neuroscience of career development


A Journal will be published which will with the first edition released at the 2008 NeuroLeadership Summit.
