Executive Instinct

"In this book, Nigel Nicholson takes a look at human nature and why we do what we do at work. Why do we let one piece of bad news drive out 100 pieces of good; create the "us versus them" problem by immediately classifying people as winners and losers; and think we can "tough things out," ignoring clues of disaster staring us in the face. The explanation of these, and hundreds of other perplexing, frequently unproductive ways that people think and act at work lies in understanding the emotional and behavioral hardwiring that is the legacy of our Stone Age ancestors."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
