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.
