In today’s fast-paced business world, it’s easy to overlook the ancient forces still shaping the way we lead. As leaders, we often react to challenges out of pride, signaling dominance to assert control and protect our position. But this primal drive—rooted in evolutionary psychology—can cloud our judgment and lead to costly mistakes.
In this episode, we dive into how primal instincts influence decision-making and the potential consequences on your business. Rather than acting on impulse, you’ll learn how to manage emotional reactions, de-escalate conflicts, and rise above primal instincts. We’ll also explore three practical strategies you can implement to lead more effectively and position your business for success.
