Meredith Belbin, best known for his work on teams, now considers
the way in which continuing evolution has produced distinct
patterns of behaviour for men and women.
Examination of the key stages in the history of homo sapiens
reveals
* how very early human society was regulated not through power but
by organic balance, so allowing women to play a vital role in the
community
* why women lost their hold over men as more populous and
structured societies became dominated by aggressive warriors
seeking territorial expansion
* how natural selection within competing empires favoured the
survival of able professionals and compliant slaves, so
diversifying the behavioural roles to which humans were genetically
disposed
* how, in the present era, power has lost its biological utility as
human evolution slowed, and technological evolution favoured the
emancipation of women with its premium on communication
skills
*how in this changing scenario, as women have recovered their
status and influence, social progress has brought in its wake a new
set of cross-gender problems.
Penetrating, original and provocative this book offers suggestions
on how men and women can come to terms with their genetic heritage,
so restoring much needed balance to business organizations and to
the community at large.
Anyone in management - whether consultant, trainer, line manager,
team leader or student should read and re-read Meredith Belbin's
work
