Produktbeschreibung
How using human instincts can make you a more successful leader. Hardwired Humans shares a practical framework that helps make sense of human behaviour and allows leaders to manage more effectively. 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 that 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. As you read this entertaining book, you will learn how the instincts of clan connections, hierarchy, gossip, politics, snap judgements, status displays and sexual competition continue to drive modern office interatcions just as they have driven human interaction for millennia. Witty and well researched, this actionable framework will bring you back to the basics of human nature and guide you down the path to effective leadership in the twenty-first century.
