Manage Happy Employees: What Evolution Tells You About Leading People

Your employees are running stone-age software. This is the manual.In *Manage Happy Employees*, Peter Burchardt draws on evolutionary psychology and thirty years of management across four continents to reveal the ancient operating system behind every workplace dynamic. He shows why fairness is the single most powerful force in management, why people need whole tasks not fragments, why your job is to make your people successful, why shouting never works, why you should promote from within, and how to hire the right people - using the same tribal logic our ancestors used to decide who got into the band. Three new chapters on hiring cover the tribal entry test, screening out toxic hires, and identifying the improvers who will make your team better.This is not another leadership theory book. It is a field guide to managing real people in real organisations.
