    Biomimicry of the Mind: Rethinking Leadership Through the Brain's Design

    What if the smartest model for modern leadership is already inside our heads? This week I’m joined by Edwin Clamp, a thinker at the intersection of neuroscience, leadership, and organizational design. His work reimagines how companies function by looking at how the brain actually works—not how we wish workplaces behaved. Together we explore how brain-inspired design can reshape leadership, culture, and decision-making. Together we unpack: What “biomimicry of the mind” really means for organizations How prediction → error → adjustment drives both brains and great teams The brain’s “many little experts” and what that teaches us about autonomy Listen in to Edwin Clamp as he explores Biomimicry.
