With the Industrial Revolution only 250 years ago, we left our hunting, gathering and village societies to work in offices and factories. However, we did not leave behind the instincts of social interaction we inherited from our ancestors.
The behaviour that ensured our survival on the savannah plains of Africa causes tremendous challenges in today's workplace. Yet an understanding of instinctive behaviour also provides solutions to the challenges that leaders commonly face.
Learn how the instincts of clan connections, hierarchy, gossip, politics, snap judgements, status displays and sexual competition continue to drive modern office interactions just as they have driven human interaction for millennia.
This actionable framework will bring you back to the basics of human nature and guide you down the path to effective leadership in the 21st century.
