Can't sleep? Too much in your mind?

"There’s a Proven Link Between Effective Leadership and Getting Enough Sleep. In our hyper-connected, 24/7 world, many of us are losing sleep" - Harvard Business Review.


Comparing survey results from few sources we keep seeing this trend. 4 out of 10 (43%) of Leaders do not get enough sleep at least four nights a week. Such sleep deficiencies can undermine important forms of leadership behavior and eventually hurt financial performance. Improving both individual well-being and organizational efficiency and effectiveness is a pressing matter that needs attention.



The link between sleep and organizational leadership

The last part of our brain to evolve was the neocortex, responsible for functions such as sensory perception, motor commands, and language. The frontal part of the neocortex, the prefrontal cortex, directs what psychologists call executive functioning, including all the higher-order cognitive processes, such as problem solving, reasoning, organizing, inhibition, planning, and executing plans. These processes help us get things done.


It’s long been known that all leadership behavior relies on at least one (and often more than one) of these executive functions, and therefore, in particular, on the prefrontal cortex. Neuroscientists know that although other brain areas can cope relatively well with too little sleep, the prefrontal cortex cannot. Basic visual and motor skills deteriorate when people are deprived of sleep, but not nearly to the same extent as higher-order mental skills
