Ancestors of humans and humans themselves have lived as hunter-gatherers for 99% of their time. It was not until about 10,000 years ago that we started living in villages and cities. Our brain is still largely the product of those millions of years spent on the African savannah. We are not as rational as we think, and it’s time to take the subconscious of our brain more seriously. Leadership styles and management theories do not penetrate beyond the surface portion of a brain programmed for group survival. 

This book approaches leadership from an entirely different angle. Accessible, practical, and directly applicable! 

Extra: the book contains more than 25 tips. Helpful!
