Washington, D.C. - Why do traditional management techniques fail to drive real change? In Certainty: How Great Bosses Can Change Minds and Drive Innovation, former CIA Chief of HR Mike Mears unveils groundbreaking leadership strategies rooted in neuroscience and psychology. Drawing on his expertise in intelligence, business, and behavioral science, Mears delivers a practical guide for leaders who want to reduce resistance to change, foster innovation, and build high-trust teams.
Transform Leadership by Understanding the Human Brain
The modern workplace demands innovation, yet human nature is wired for caution and resistance to change. Certainty explores how leaders can overcome this challenge by working with human instincts rather than against them. Mears provides research-backed insights and actionable tools to help managers build trust, give feedback effectively, and create an environment where employees embrace change with confidence.
Certainty reveals why our Stone Age brains instinctively resist change and how leaders can create a sense of certainty to reduce fear and build trust. Mears challenges ineffective leadership clichés, offering science-backed habits that foster loyalty and drive peak performance. He also introduces practical techniques—such as storytelling, mental prompts, and team-based strategies—that empower leaders to unlock innovation, boost engagement, and create a thriving workplace culture.
Mears’ real-world experience brings the book to life with compelling stories and evidence-based leadership lessons. As Foreword Reviews notes, Certainty is a “perspicacious leadership guide” that distills cutting-edge neuroscience into clear, practical strategies for fostering creativity, trust, and high-performance cultures.
