In Rebooting Your Brain: Using Motivation Intelligence to Adjust Your Mindset, Reach Your Goals, and Realize Unlimited Success, veteran strategist and executive coach David Naylor delivers an expert compilation of life-changing findings from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, as well as three decades of practical experience uncovering what makes real-world teams work. He reveals critical insights into what holds people back from what they're truly capable of and how to remove those shackles.

Working with researchers at Harvard University, the author and his colleagues made a startling discovery about the human mind. Even more important than a person's intelligence quotient (IQ) or emotional intelligence (EQ), is a person's Motivational Intelligence (MQ). MQ defines how people act and react to everything they experience. It predicts whether you will move forward with a growth mindset or fixed mindset, and if you will make excuses for your mistakes or take ownership of them with a view to changing outcomes in the future.

This book is all about harnessing the power of MQ to answer crucial organizational questions: How do we retain people and talent? How do we engage with the public and our teams? How do we get people to embrace change? How do we develop our team members? How do we get people to collaborate? How can we effectively lead others in a virtual environment?

Offering answers to those questions--and many more--Rebooting Your Brain is an effective and hands-on resource for managers, executives, and other business leaders grappling with some of the stickiest dilemmas posed by contemporary markets and organizations.
