Upgrade: Evolutionary Leadership 2.0
[Original preface from the German edition] When I first published the evolutionary-psychology-based approach to leadership in 2006, I was focused on doing something about the confusion that was being construed by the ever-growing number of management fads on leadership. Fully convinced of not being the only one following this path, I found academic support for my ideas a couple of months later in an American journal.1 Shortly afterwards Evolutionary Leadership was named book of the week by a leading German newspaper,2 in Switzerland it was quoted as “an interesting demystification of the leadership notion”.3 This particular wording delighted me, as it contained the implication of just how little sound knowledge there was in the field. A change of perspective on the leadership discussion and its best practice seemed evident.
