Did you know Baboon alpha males and corporate alpha males (females too) have a lot in common? If your company culture and productivity is held hostage daily by infighting, disagreements or generalized toxic disorder, your company just might have an infestation of alpha males.
If you are the CEO or senior executive, you need to make sure this personality type, although idolized in our sick culture, is not hired in your organization.
If you do not believe me, I have a short video just for you. Sit back and enjoy because I guarantee you will be interested in this story.
Take five minutes to watch the short video about biologist Robert Sopolosky and Lisa Share. For 20 years they followed the same baboon troop from 1978 to 1998. Their findings were nothing less than astounding.
