Primordial Leadership

Science has identified our most basic Primordial Drive as humans is to perpetuate the species' genes. Duckworth goes further and identifies how six enabling Primal DrivesSafety, Self-Interest, Hope and Transcendence, Honesty and Trust, Energy and Time Optimization, and Sociabilityare at work in specific leadership settings. Harnessing these deeper Primordial forces present in all human "animals" can clearly differentiate you as a more powerful, valuable leader to both your followers, and the peers with whom you're competing. Duckworth's C-level practical, Primordially-based advice has been field-tested and proven in private and public businesses, non-profits, and government entities. Jam-packed with practical implementation insights, stories, methods, and tools proven to materially improve results, Duckworth also shows you how to "take it to the street" with the Judo Principle, to leverage all the Primal Drives to work for you rather than against you. He also addresses special leadership contexts such as business turnarounds, military leadership, engineer leaders, female leaders, and older leaders. Primordial Leadership will help you ignite zeal; improve innovation; effectively manage strategic, annual, and operating planning; avoid change resistance; and know what to do when there is "no way out."
