Why did leadership break down in 2025? According to neuroscience-based leadership consultant Sahar Andrade, MB.BCh, it wasn't a strategy failure. It was a nervous system failure. When chronic disruption keeps the brain in threat mode, no framework, certification, or dashboard can override it. Regulation comes first. Results follow.

What if your team's best work is happening in the shadows — and you're the last to know? 59% of employees are using AI tools you never approved. 93% of executives are doing the same. Nobody's talking about it — not because they don't care, but because their brains won't let them. When there are no clear guidelines, the amygdala reads silence as threat. And a threatened brain hides. Shadow AI isn't a compliance problem. It's a psychological safety problem. Sahar Andrade, MB.BC
