The Neuroscience Series: Exploration Into Trust & Oxytocin Amongst Leaders and Teams
Episode 11
Lets explore the role of trust and oxytocin in leadership. Do you trust your leader or your colleagues? If not, why not? Trust is a fundamental aspect of leadership, and neuroscience shows that the hormone oxytocin is released when people trust each other, promoting social bonding.
Authentic leadership, empathy, and fostering collaboration are key in building trust and triggering oxytocin release. Trust and oxytocin contribute to enhanced team productivity, loyalty, and employee well-being. However, building trust and navigating individual differences in oxytocin response can be challenging. Ethical considerations are important in leveraging oxytocin insights in leadership. The episode concludes by emphasizing the importance of inspiring a collective team and creating a workplace utopia.
