Book Description
This book will help you deal with your employees and co-workers by giving you the keys to understanding the way their brains--and yours--work. Using the metaphor of the dinosaur brain, the authors detail a whole range of human responses dictated by a part of the human brain sometimes beyond our control. They then show you what to expect from that part of the brain and how to be prepared for it, including such problems as turf battles, reflexive competitiveness, and office courtship. Outlines the rules of ^lizard logic, and how to use them to your advantage.
Synopsis
Dinosaurs still walk the earth - only now they forage inside the hallways of corporate America. They include the impulsive boss, the manipulative colleague - and yourself. One minute they're acting like humans - the next they're little better than reptiles: aggressive, complaining, and blaming. In short, provocative chapters, the book explains why and shows readers how to stop thinking and acting in the self-destructive ways that can leave a career dead in the water. The authors explain the rules of 'lizard logic' that lie behind 'Dinosaur Brain' behavior. They also show you how to use your more advanced evolutionary wiles to learn the skills for staying in control, dealing with irrationality in others, and identifying and coping with your own irrational behavior.
