Edifying Leadership: R.M. Boylan BSc. Master's in Leadership Studies

Rose-Marie Boylan BSc. M.A. Master's Leadership Studies

Edifying leadership for better leadership.

To "Edify" is to instruct or improve morally or intellectually or both.

I am attaching this publication on the shadow psyche & leadership which discusses some of this subject through an understanding of the unconscious psyche. The question we need to ask ourselves:

What are the 10 perfections of a great leader?

https://www.sciencexcel.com/article/shadow-psyche-leadership-decision-making-praxeology-perspective-collective-unconscious-psyche

The problem with leadership today is there are no standards for leadership. Boldness or bullying is mistaken for valour and courage, when they are not. My Master's thesis (2006-2009) identified the best instrument for identifying the best leaders. These instruments are not currently used. Since 2009, I have continued my research and developed a system for coaching, training and developing leaders as early as 10 years old for political, social or business leadership. I have not published the intellectual property to ensure that it is not misused. Leadership and authority are dangerous things in the wrong hands. This way I can carefully select the most effective leaders for the future who will develop the best brains for leadership. The 10 perfections are a spectrum which means we can develop 1 perfection over a lifetime. It is highly unlikely that anyone that is human could ever achieve a 10/10 on all 10 perfections as a leader in a lifetime unless they are God himself or had the Godhead.

The problem is the mind of a leader determines neurologically, the character. The human nervous system and brain with the constant need for arousal sabotages our human ability to attain the highest levels of perfections. But we can work towards them in a lifetime through this framework. No framework existed previously which might explain why leadership is pretty much based on no measurable standards of excellence.

By the age of 15, the brain for leadership is wired for morality or not. Negative or positive traits can be taught but willingness and volition to do what is right cannot be taught. Character defines belief systems, decision-making, behaviours & actions.

There are 2 characteristics we see exhibited that define a bad mind: 1). Shamelessness 2). Disregard. It is important to note that perfections for leadership are a spectrum from which leaders & persons can improve over time.

Praxeology & the Edification Process in Leaders candidates for Leadership

A neuroscience-praxeology perspective on leadership integrates brain science (neuroscience) with the study of human action (praxeology) to understand how leaders manage their brains for effective action, focusing on emotional regulation (amygdala), strategic thinking (prefrontal cortex), empathy (mirror neurons), and stress management to build trust and foster collaboration, moving beyond mere tactics to understand the why and how of leadership behavior for sustainable growth. This approach emphasizes practical application, using neuroplasticity to develop skills like managing cognitive biases and enhancing decision-making through conscious, reflective practice. 

Core Concepts

• Brain-Body Connection: Leaders influence followers' brains (and vice versa) through emotional resonance and managing their own neural states, creating alignment for shared goals. If a leader is on the lowest levels of development, he will influence and enable organized crime, corruption, perversity, violence and even murders of innocent individuals if they do not comply.

  
  

• Emotional & Social Intelligence: Effective leaders balance rational (prefrontal cortex) and emotional (limbic system) brain functions, using mirror neurons for empathy and building trust (oxytocin).

  
  

• Strategic Thinking (High Road): Leaders develop the ability to shift from reactive "low road" (amygdala-driven stress) to proactive, insightful "high road" (wise advocate) thinking, managing biases like confirmation bias.

  
  

• Neuroplasticity: Leadership is a learnable skill; ongoing personal growth and skill development (like cognitive reframing) build new neural pathways, enhancing resilience and decision-making. 

  
  

Practical Applications (Praxeology in Action)

• Managing Stress: Leaders learn to reframe stressful situations (e.g., viewing challenges as creative opportunities) to prevent the fight-or-flight response from impairing judgment.

  
  

• Improving Decisions: Involve diverse teams, gather data, and reflect on past decisions to strengthen the social brain network and reduce cognitive errors, say researchers at.

  
  

• Authentic Connection: Showing genuine emotional variability (not just stoic composure) can better engage followers' mirror neurons, enhancing deep connection.

  
  

• Developing Inner Dialogue: Cultivate an "inner wise advocate" through deliberate practice, creating a habitual, reflective mindset for spotting opportunities and acting effectively. 

  
  

The Praxeological Angle

While neuroscience explains what happens in the brain, praxeology focuses on purposeful human action. This perspective helps bridge the gap, showing how leaders can consciously use neuroscientific insights (like understanding dopamine's role in reward or oxytocin's role in bonding) to design actions that achieve desired outcomes, fostering innovation and resilience in themselves and their teams.
