Take a deep dive into the world of human instincts with psychologist Nigel Nicholson, Professor of Organizational Behavior at London Business School. This course explores the ten most important innate human instincts that shape who we are, how we interact, and how we behave, from shared faculties like loss, aversion, and empathy to our prioritization of the emotions over reason and our collective need for social belonging both in the workplace and in our personal lives.
Discover how evolution has molded our most basic instincts so you can learn how to start wielding them in leadership and management. Nigel offers strategies for leading teams more effectively by harnessing the power of narrative storytelling, the universal nature of gossip, and our intrinsic inclination towards structure and hierarchy. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with new skills and practical know-how to leverage your instincts to become a truly great organizational leader.
