Executive Instinct: Managing the Human Animal in the Information Age

In this remarkable book, Nigel Nicholson takes a fresh, novel, and penetrating look at human nature and why we do what we do at work. Why we let one piece of bad news drive out 100 pieces of good. Create the "us versus them" problem by immediately classifying people as winners and losers. And think we can "tough things out," ignoring clues of disaster staring us in the face. The explanation of these, and hundreds of other perplexing, frequently unproductive ways that people think and act at work lies in understanding the emotional and behavioral hardwiring that is the legacy of our Stone Age ancestors. Nigel Nicholson is at the forefront of the exciting -- some would say radical -- new field of evolutionary psychology. While we have to cope with the modern world and the complexities of working in organizations, we do so with brains hardwired for Stone Age realities. Nicholson uses the ideas of evolutionary psychology to challenge many conventional beliefs about human nature with a more realistic picture of what motivates people and shapes their thoughts and actions at work.

Now, isn't this curious? Why should we find most difficult the very arts one might say we were created for? We are the most sophisticated of creatures when it comes to social intercourse. As for coping with change, our powers of adaptation are prodigious. We have supreme skill as learners. Dealing with people and change should be a cinch. The answers we should expect people to give to the question might be such tricky matters as doing accounts, writing reports, or any number of other things that it takes us painstaking hours of practice to learn, and even then we often do badly.

So what's the problem? The problem is this: organization makes us do the things that come naturally to us in an unnatur ... read full excerpt from Executive Instinct: Managing the Human Animal in the Information Age ebook
