Kaiser, R.B. (2010, April). Evolution and the Problem with Modern Leadership. Symposium presented at the 25th Annual Conference of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Atlanta, GA.
Today’s headlines, blogs, and newsfeeds are replete with examples of leadership gone wrong. If politicians aren’t having affairs, taking kickbacks, or deceiving the public then executives seem to be cooking the books, looting the corporate till, and making bad decisions that destabilize corporate institutions and national economies. Why are we having such a leadership crisis? This session explores the possibility that the kinds of leaders who are promoted, celebrated, and rewarded today are dramatically at odds with the kind of leadership we evolved to prefer because it was important to human survival in our ancestral past. Getting back to basics can better define the problem and suggest solutions for dealing with all this monkey business.
