Meet Our Scientists
Diverse perspectives lead to better decisions and more innovative solutions. That’s why, when tackling client problems, NLI will bring in our robust external scientist network, composed of researchers leading their respective fields.
NLI unites researchers from leading labs around the world, with the purpose of advancing our understanding of the human brain to improve organizational performance, leadership, learning, and culture.
This network of dedicated scientists regularly contribute to the NeuroLeadership Journal, our annual Summit, and play a major role in moving this emerging field of research forward.
