A strange thing happened to Homo sapiens only 250 years ago; we changed habitat. Suddenly with the Industrial Revolution we moved into offices and factories. We carry with us 9 instincts that characterise human nature. What are those instincts? How do they show themselves at work? How can leaders use the framework to be more successful - and avoid the potential derailers of we ignore what it means to be human?
In this interview, we explore 4 main areas:
- Why is knowing about human instincts important to leaders?
- What can business leaders learn from zoos?
- Where should leaders start using human instincts?
- How can you use human instincts in your personal leadership?
