The DBWC members were invited by to participate and attend an exclusive event organized by IE Business School . The talk was conducted by Dr. Lee Newman Ph.D and Professor of Behavior, Leadership & Analytics -Dean of IE School of Human Sciences and Technology.

Lee Newman is Dean of IE’s School of Human Sciences and Technology and a professor of Behavioral Science and Leadership at IE University and IE Business School in Madrid, Spain. His work and interests center on Behavioral Fitness and Positive Leadership, and in particular, on translating and applying behavioral science to help professionals optimize their performance in the workplace. 

Managers face enormous challenges in trying to understand how they can they better lead themselves, their teams or their business units. Dr. Lee Newman gave our members and guests an idea on how to think clearly, make high-quality decisions, effectively handle daily stressors and emotions, bounce-back from setbacks and how to they must constantly develop their in-the-moment behaviors to be able to work effectively within others inside and outside their organization.

Behavioural fitness focuses on developing the behaviours, attitudes and thinking skills necessary to allow managers to perform at their best in the everyday moments they face in the workplace -- because it is in these moments that leadership actually happen.
