Do you want to lead like a business professional--or a Neanderthal? This book breaks our millennia-old leadership mold to provide the skills for real, lasting success in today's business worldFor too long, humans have been following others based largely on that person's sense of physical strength, appearance and dominance. It's a model that dates back to the Neanderthals and which, incredibly, we continue to apply--consciously or not.The Evolved Leader establishes a new standard for leadership. It shifts you away from a leadership profile of power, command, and control to move your toward the nuance of motivation, inspiration, and, most critically, the shedding of 'ego.' The author bases his perspective and methods on close studies and personal interviews of many of today's most successful leaders.

Struck by a bomb, the battleship started to sink, and Young and others became trapped when it overturned. Young describes their terrifying experience with stunning clarity. He recounts the violence of the capsizing, which killed or injured many of the men, and the survivors' frantic search for an escape route. He remembers their horror at finding all the exits blocked and their despair over the possibility of never being rescued. This account of their experience is undeniably one of the most dramatic stories to unfold during the air raid. With incredible realism, Young describes the water's inexorable rise, inch by awful inch; the sickening taste of fuel oil; the foul smell of the air; the nervous wisecracks echoing through the cold darkness; and finally the silence. The intensity and suspense rival that of any fictional thriller--the recounting of his escape is particularly spellbinding.
