There are billions of people in the worlds— billions of brains. Just as no two people are identical, no two brains are identical. Each of us has our own consciousness that makes us distinct from everyone else and because everyone interacts with his or her own consciousness, it is an intimately familiar, yet notoriously ambiguous concept. 

As we learn more about the human brain, we can expect to learn more about how it functions and how leaders can use this knowledge to best lead people and develop effective organizations. Neuroscience does not provide all the answers, but it offers insight into how we can tailor the environment in which we work to develop effective organizations.
