By Force Of Will And The Exercise Of Our Great Intelligence We Can Reengineer Organizations And Always Make Rational Decisions. Politics, Turf Wars, Rumor, And Gossip Can Be Eliminated. Status And Sex Differences Can Count For Naught.It'S Time To Get Real And End This Kind Of Utopian Daydreaming. Evolutionary Psychology Shows That We Are Animals With A Highly Engineered, Genetically Encoded Design For Our Bodies And Our Minds. Nicholson'S Insights From Evolutionary Psychology Will Intrigue And Inform Those Looking To Understand Our Instincts And Manage Them With Skill. Several Of The Highly Practical Realizations He Provides Readers Include:* Why We Create Problems For Ourselves By Imagining That The Differences Between The Sexes Or Their Effects Can Be Eliminated.* How Inborn Differences In Temperament Make People Either Fit Or Unfit For Leadership Positions And Why Organizations Get The Kind Of Leaders They Deserve.* Why Gossip And Rumor Are Not Destructive Forces But The Lifeblood Of Communication In The World Of Work.* Why There Is A Limit To The Size Of Organizations As Integrated Communities, Best Described As The Rule Of 150.Nigel Nicholson'S Brilliant And Practical Executive Instinct Enables You To Manage With Not Against The Grain Of Human Nature.
