From Survival to Connection: From Self-Awareness to Strategic Impact
Polyvagal-Informed Leadership offers a human-centered approach to leadership and team development by exploring a question that is often overlooked in traditional management literature: what happens in our nervous system when we lead, collaborate, experience pressure, or no longer feel safe?
Leadership is usually approached through strategy, competencies, communication skills, and behavior. Willem Manuputty adds another layer: the biology of safety and connection. Drawing on Polyvagal Theory, psychological safety, Transactional Analysis, trauma-informed perspectives, and established models of team development, he shows how our physiological state influences the way we communicate, make decisions, handle conflict, exercise authority, and connect with others.
At the heart of the book is a simple principle: before people can collaborate, learn, innovate, and perform sustainably, they need to experience sufficient safety.
