Why do people hold such strong political beliefs? How can we effectively manage political tensions in the workplace? Today, drawing from evolutionary biology and psychology, we will discuss why political beliefs are so deeply ingrained, how they impact team dynamics, and what leaders can do to navigate them effectively.
You’ll understand how political behavior has evolved as a survival tool rooted in group cohesion and intergroup competition. Our ancestors developed specific psychological mechanisms for forming groups, responding to leaders, and handling conflicts – traits that continue to influence our modern political behavior.
I’ll also share actionable strategies for corporate leaders to navigate political differences while maintaining team effectiveness, such as addressing tensions directly, making it a group endeavor to find solutions, and refocusing team members on their shared goals and identity as a corporate "tribe."
If you’re a leader looking to foster collaboration and productivity in a politically divided team, this episode provides essential strategies to help you navigate these challenges. I also invite you to explore my book, "The Mammoth in the Room," for more evolutionary leadership insights.
