Ep. 30 The Thinking Brain: Dr. Delia McCabe on Neuroplasticity and the Neuroscience of Leadership

🎙️ Episode Title: The Thinking Brain: Dr. Delia McCabe on Neuroplasticity, Nutrition, and the Neuroscience of Leadership 🎧 Episode Description: What if better leadership isn’t about doing more—but thinking differently? In this episode of Strategy Meets Reality, Mike Jones is joined by Dr. Delia McCabe—neuroscientist, psychologist, and author—to explore how leaders can use neuroscience to improve creativity, resilience, and critical thinking. They unpack how stress sabotages decision-making, why poor nutrition and sleep limit cognition, and how leaders can rewire their brains to navigate uncertainty and complexity more effectively. From the “additive problem” to the pitfalls of the “feeling of knowing,” this is a fascinating conversation about the science behind strategy and the art of thinking clearly. 🎯 Key Themes: Neuroplasticity and the creative brain Stress and the limits of cognitive capacity Subtraction as a strategic mindset How uncertainty disrupts decision-making Emotional intelligence, ego, and change resistance The neuroscience of influence and cognition Why AI may blunt human creativity 🕒 Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction and Background of Delia McCabe 03:35 – Understanding Neuroplasticity and Its Importance 06:26 – The Role of Nutrition in Brain Function 09:10 – Stress, Sleep, and Cognitive Function 11:52 – The Challenge of Cognitive Load in Leadership 14:39 – Additive vs. Subtractive Problem Solving 17:27 – The Impact of Uncertainty on Decision Making 20:09 – Navigating Complexity in Leadership 22:47 – The Brain’s Response to Information Overload 25:41 – Creating New Neural Pathways for Change 28:46 – Navigating Change in Leadership 31:47 – Building Resilience to Uncertainty 34:06 – The Importance of Understanding the Brain 36:35 – The Challenge of Changing Minds 39:56 – Engaging Emotions for Influence 41:50 – The Feeling of Knowing and Its Pitfalls 46:35 – Cognitive Challenges in Decision Making 52:07 – The Role of AI in Cognitive Processes 55:59 – Optimizing Brain Function for Better Outcomes 57:56 – Outro 🔗 CONNECT & SUBSCRIBE 🎧 Full episodes: https://www.lbiconsulting.com/strateg... 📺 YouTube:    / @strategymeetsreality   🎙 Spotify/Apple: https://strategymeetsrealitypodcast.b... 💬 Connect with Mike Jones:   / mike-h-jones   🌐 Learn more about Delia:   / dr-delia-mccabe   🔎 Keywords: #leadership #neuroscience #neuroplasticity #cognitiveload #creativity #brainhealth #DrDeliaMcCabe #strategy #stressmanagement #uncertainty #OrganisationalChange #ai #decisionmaking #strategymeetsreality #podcast
