Doing favors, grooming coworkers with kind words, building coalitions-these tools for getting ahead come straight from the jungle. The stereotypical Darwinian hard-charger supposedly thinks only about accumulating resources. But highly effective peoples know it's often smarter to give them away. That doesn't mean it's a peaceable kingdom out there, however. Conniff shows that you can become more effective by understanding how other species negotiate the tricky bakance between conflict and coorperation. This book connect with the day-to-day of the workplace because it helps to explain peoples main concerns at the office.
