Understanding the SCARF Model in Teams

In our dynamic, shifting, and often hybrid work environments, quality collaboration and motivation may require a more thoughtful and nuanced approach than ever before. To help leaders stay ahead, the best approaches will likely draw on universal concepts, but in a way that can be uniquely — and efficiently — crafted to meet the needs of every individual. This week on Your Brain at Work Live, join Dr. Emma Sarro and Facilitator Kyle Olsen as they explore updates to the NeuroLeadership Institute’s SCARF® Model and the latest data we’ve been collecting. This framework, which summarizes five psychological drivers humans seek out in social interactions, can provide powerful insights into workplace motivation and connection. Together, we'll explore how leading with heart might, paradoxically, be one of the best ways to lead with the brain in mind. More specifically, we’ll unpack: Updates surrounding NLI’s most popular and enduring model relevant to social engagement The neuroscientific relationship between socially uplifting connection and human motivation New strategies for more effectively unpacking your team members’ social motivators
