Rather than succumbing to the primitive “fight or flight” instinct, men actually become more sociable and cooperative when under stress, according to new psychological study.
Researchers from the University of Freiburg, Germany said that their latest findings debunk “a nearly 100-year-old doctrine,” that while women showed an alternate "tend-and-befriend" response to stress and became more protective and more sociable, and men became more aggressive.
Rather than succumbing to the primitive “fight or flight” instinct, when under stress men actually become more sociable and cooperative, according to new psychological study.
"Apparently men also show social approach behavior as a direct consequence of stress," co-researcher Bernadette von Dawans of the University of Freiburg in Germany said in a statement. Via Sakis Koukouvis Delete the scoop?

Leadership is fluid and is never outdated. What I am not seeing is the shift from management to leadership. It certainly is not happening where I work and live. The trust question and answer is revealing. He does not use the word narcissism, but it is in evidence and growing. What will that do for the next generation?
John Adair - Thanks!
In our five years working with the CPA Profession's best and brightest young leaders (AICPA, MACPA, UACPA, LSCPA Leadership Academies), I worry that many of our current leaders are not taking the responsibility to develop new leaders fast enough. Yet when you get these young leaders in a room, it is easy to pull their greatness out of them.
What can we do to develop more leaders fast enough as two baby boomers will retire for every Gen-Xer available to replace them?
Love the curator insights:
"I think this is the greatest sentence ever written on leadership: “The task of a leader is not to put greatness into people, but to draw it out, because the greatness is there already.” That’s what a true leader thinks. We have a responsibility to the world to play a leading part in growing and developing good leaders and leaders for good."
