Description

Nigel Nicholson (au). A penetrating look at human nature & why we do what we do at work. While we have to cope with the modern world & the complexities of working in an org., we do so with brains hardwired for Stone Age realities. The ideas of evolutionary psychology are used to challenge many conventional beliefs about human nature with a more realistic picture of what motivates people & shapes their thoughts & actions at work. Explains: why problems are created by imagining that the diff. between the sexes or their effects can be eliminated; how inborn diff. in temperament make people either fit or unfit for leadership; why gossip & rumor are not destructive forces but the lifeblood of commun. in work; & why there is a limit to the size of org. as integrated communities.
