Hi I'm Nicolas Pokorny

What’s the Mammoth in the room that no one talks about? It’s the undeniable evolutionary truths behind our human behavior that impact every single business decision around the world. Businesses don’t falter because their people don’t know how to do the business; they falter because their leaders don’t grasp the nuances of human nature and the role of evolution in our daily behaviors.

In my new book, “The Mammoth In the Room,” I share a wealth of practical insights, strategies, and stories about how to align humans around common goals and lead them effectively through ever-changing markets and times—which move much more quickly than our ability to adapt as humans. The book is divided into three sections—”On People,” “On Strategy,” and “On Implementation”—providing a practical roadmap for both emerging and senior leaders. It covers everything from personal, professional, and leadership development, to hiring and building high-performance teams, to cultural transformation and beyond—all with a unique focus on the evolutionary foundations of human behavior.

“The Mammoth in the Room” is a science based and practical roadmap in leadership. Whether you manage a team of five or an organization of 500, this book delivers an insider’s guide to managing human behavior and leading with purpose. The mammoth has been named—now learn how to tame it.
