Kaiser, R.B. (2010, January). Leadership lessons from the past. In N. Nicholson (chair), Evolutionary Approaches to Leadership, Management, and Organizational Performance, Darwin Seminar. Guest Lecture Series presented at the London Business School, London, UK.

Rob Kaiser was invited to deliver his presentation to the London Business School’s “Darwin’s Medicine” series of seminars in honor of the 200th anniversary of the birth of the creator of the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Kaiser’s talk explored the evolution of leadership from lower animals through human history, and focused on how leadership was a solution to the problem of collective effort: getting selfish individuals to cooperate in the context of harsh elements and violent tribal warfare. The talk concludes with the six core things would-be leader must do and the four attributes humans are hardwired to expect from their leaders.
