Integration in Mind

The article "Leading with Integration in Mind" by Lynn Redenbach and Debra Pearce-McCall explores the application of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) in leadership. It posits that effective leadership integrates differentiated parts of human systems—mind, brain, and relationships—to create coherence, adaptability, and stability within organizations. The authors argue that leadership is not about authoritarian control but about fostering an environment where creativity, collaboration, and emotional intelligence thrive. They emphasize the importance of mindfulness, self-awareness, and relational skills in leadership, drawing on scientific principles from IPNB to advocate for a holistic and integrative approach that nurtures well-being across all levels of an organization.
