Praise for Driven to Lead
"A powerful scientific framework, grounded in evolutionarybiology, that helps us think about leadership successes andfailures throughout history and how we might address humanity'sneed for better leadership going forward."

--Bill George, professor of management practice,Harvard Business School, and former chair and CEO, Medtronic
"If Darwin had written a book about leadership in thetwenty-first century, this would be it."
--Ranjay Gulati, Jaime and Josefina Chua TiampoProfessor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School
"It's the E = mc2 of human behavior."
--Malcolm DeLeo, Vice President of Innovation, DaymonWorldwide
