What can our evolutionary past tell us about leadership today?

In this engaging webinar, Ryne Sherman, PhD, Chief Science Officer of Hogan Assessments, explores the intersection of evolutionary psychology and leadership, offering powerful insights into the fundamental human motives—such as status, cooperation, and the drive for meaning—that continue to shape behaviours in today’s workplaces.

Drawing on key themes from evolutionary science, this session unpacks why some leaders thrive while others derail, and how our instinctive behaviours influence leadership styles, team dynamics, and organisational culture.

Participants will also examine two distinct leadership paths—dominance and prestige—and discover how understanding human nature can help organisations develop more effective, trusted leaders.

Whether you are a leader, HR professional, coach, or consultant, this webinar will reshape how you think about leadership, influence, and human behaviours at work.
