The Neuroscientific Dental Validation of the Leadership Competency Model DRENICA
Session
Dental Science
Description
The Leadership Competency Model Drenica, established by Çitaku and Ramadani in 2020, outlines 25 key competencies essential for effective leadership. This study investigates the neuroscientific underpinnings of these competencies, offering a novel framework that bridges leadership theory and neuroscience. Through an extensive literature review, neural mechanisms linked to decision-making, communication, empathy, and continuous learning were identified, validating the model. Key findings include the role of prefrontal cortex activity and neurotransmitter systems (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin) in decision-making, empathy, and collaboration. Neuroplasticity, crucial for adaptability and learning, was also highlighted, underscoring the model’s practical relevance to dynamic organizational environments. By aligning leadership development with these neuroscientific principles, organizations can foster innovation, inclusivity, and overall success. This research paves the way for "Neuroleadership," a paradigm that utilizes neuroscience to optimize leadership effectiveness, equipping leaders to inspire, motivate, and drive positive organizational change.
