A common challenge for organizations is getting people to take responsibility for their work instead of deferring or shifting blame, a critical element in cultures of accountability. A recent study suggests that our sense of responsibility, and the brain activity that supports it, can emerge from having a sense of control or agency in our work, as opposed to merely following orders. These results reveal a tangible way for leaders to foster a sense of responsibility for all individuals, even...| NeuroLeadership Institute
