Adopting an Evolutionary Framework to Lead, Influence, and Collaborate

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ancestral Mindset by thought leader and human relations expert John Daniel offers deep insight into what motivates us and drives our actions and how we can use that information to better lead, influence, and collaborate at work and home. If human evolutionary history were compressed into a single calendar year with our earliest ancestor arriving on January 1, our transition from hunter-gatherers wouldn't occur until the end of December. We were hunter-gatherers for well over 90 percent of our collective history. The key to understanding us is understanding the hunter-gatherer neurocircuitry that crafted our human nature. In Ancestral Mindset, John Daniel traces the development of the human brain from the birth of our species and applies his insights to teach leadership and teamwork from an evolutionary-neurological perspective. Why is your fight-or-flight instinct on a hair trigger when the boss calls you in? Why does receiving advice from a colleague induce a threat state? Why does it feel so disproportionately risky to disagree with the team? The answers to those questions lie in our collective past. As a heart-transplant recipient with decades of executive HR experience, Daniel knows a thing or two about risk, survival, and human behavior from the operating room to the board room. His unique personal story and voracious appetite for research have led to a text as potentially transformative as it is bursting with information. If you are interested in upping your leadership game, improving your relationships, or just becoming more persuasive, Ancestral Mindset will help you adapt from the brain down. Access your inner hunter-gatherer and transform your take on what motivates, elevates, and convinces. It will make you a better leader, a better employee, and a better Homo sapiens to those around you.
