This conceptual paper explores how Neuro-leadership will serve as a link between psychological theories and organizational neuroscience. ON studies also enhance opportunities to extend the leadership approach by applying a new-found understanding of neural activation pathways to decision-making. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) offers a detailed explanation of intrinsic motivational factors that are the key to the success of leaders. The neuro-leadership approach uses the SDT factors of autonomy, relatedness, and competence to improve upon leadership theories. In addition, the importance of emotion regulation for leaders is expressed.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessReview Article7294651188568
