Do you want to lead like a business professional-or a Neanderthal? This book breaks our millennia-old leadership mold to provide the skills for real, lasting success in today's business worldFor too long, humans have been following others based largely on that person's sense of physical strength, appearance and dominance. It's a model that dates back to the Neanderthals and which, incredibly, we continue to apply-consciously or not. The Evolved Leader establishes a new standard for leadership. It shifts you away from a leadership profile of power, command, and control to move your toward the nuance of motivation, inspiration, and, most critically, the shedding of 'ego.' The author bases his perspective and methods on close studies and personal interviews of many of today's most successful leaders.
