We see patterns of leadership throughout human history. Prehistoric leaders who, just as leaders do today, used power and influence to create co-operation amongst their group, have all played their part in our surviving, thriving and evolving as a species. Of course, leadership is infinitely more complex in the modern world, comprising of global teams, large anonymous networks and communications technology. But have our brains evolved as quickly as our societies?
In this fascinating, enlightening and useful book, leadership development coach and change agent Graeme Findlay walks you through the evolutionary basis for the dramatic increases in leadership power from pre-history through to today. He explains how the brain function that made our primate ancestors successful still exists within us, and how this "inner primate" can sabotage your leadership effectiveness. He then proceeds to outline effective strategies for transcending this "inner voice" to empower your leadership.　 In the same way, he shows how you can tap into the motivations of the inner primate within members of your extended team, to better understand dynamics, and transform your leadership impact. With the inner primate dealt with, he moves on to explore the next two major evolutionary steps, personified as the gossip and the dreamer.
Drawing from a wide variety of case studies, including Donald Trump, Kim Jong-Un, and Martin Luther King, as well as the author's own consulting experiences, this book consistently shows you how to apply evolutionary leadership theory to your own practice, to become a more aware, mindful, impactful, and successful leader.
