APPLICATION OF NEUROSCIENCE AND LEADERSHIP IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Abstract
This work is focused on the application of neurology in the field of leadership in project management. It shows a theoretical overview of the history of project management, the development of project management as scientific discipline and a new approach – neuroscience research of the brain. The aim of the empirical research is to gain insight into the current knowledge of neuroscience and research that has application in leadership in project management in the world and to possibly propose new research.
