Alpha Male Syndrome


Book Description

The business world swarms with alpha males—powerhouses who take charge, produce astonishing results, and bring enormous value to their organizations. But many alphas also leave a path of destruction in their wake. Competitive, belligerent, and impatient, these hard-charging leaders can run roughshod over colleagues and employees, to the detriment of their careers and the bottom line. In Alpha Male Syndrome, Kate Ludeman and Eddie Erlandson build on their Harvard Business Review article “Coaching the Alpha Male”—sounding a wake-up call to all alphas and the companies they work for. The authors show alphas how to leverage their unique strengths while confronting their destructive “flip side risks.” They describe the distinguishing dynamics of the alpha male syndrome and identify four breeds: commanders, executors, strategists, and visionaries. By understanding each type’s nuances, alphas can transform themselves into more effective leaders. And those who work with alphas can transform nightmare work groups into collaborative dream teams. Exercises, checklists, and tips enable readers to harness the enormous power of the alpha personality while minimizing the downsides of alpha behavior.




Domination Basics


Book Description

This book shows a blatant disregard for social acceptability as it instructs readers toward one simple goal: total domination. It's egotistical, sexist, narcissistic, and completely practical. These are the secrets of the alpha male, and throughout the centuries, they have been the only real path to money, women, and power. If you've tried everything else, it may be time to use what actually works. Introduction In every generation there are two groups. There are the masses. For them, the world is chaotic and painful. They live most of their lives knowing something is wrong but not knowing how to fix it. Their battle cry is one of weak mediocrity. They are neither satisfied nor rested. Their biggest fear is that they will die nothing more than the sum of their failures and frustrations. There is another group. They are the elite, the Alphas. They understand the universe as an equation. They get it. They are free in all the ways that others are not because they are free of fear. Everything is in abundance for them. They have the friends you want. They have the jobs you want. They have the cars you want parked in front of the houses you wish you owned. They experience the life you want while surrounded by the women you want. All the things you dream about, they know how to get - easier, faster, and smarter than you can. At the end of every day, they sleep with ease, looking forward to the next day's adventures. Which group are you a member of? What if you had a choice? This book will give you that choice. Inside You Will Discover... Part 1: Social Basics Being the envy of those around you How you choose to see yourself and those around you dictates how you assign value. We are going to stack the deck in your favor by preventing you from sabotaging your own value and stopping you from over-inflating the value of those around you.

Part 2: Business Basics Failure and other necessary ingredients for success This is your guide for maneuvering when things periodically and inevitably go wrong in the business world. Where most men become paralyzed, you will become stronger. This is the art of building today's success out of yesterday's failures. Part 3: Power Basics Understanding the source and nature of your power The source and nature of your power is no great secret, yet most men will never understand these concepts because they expect complex answers. By accepting the truths you didn't expect, and taking action on a plan that is deceptively simple, you will gain power far beyond what you thought possible.

10 Steps to Becoming an Alpha Male


Book Description

Most people drift through life with no idea of what they would like to do. They wake up in a morning and go to bed at night without any direction. These are the beta and omega males, these are the people who end up flipping burgers at McDonald's. As well as ending up in an unfulfilling job, if you don't know what it is you want from life, it will come across in your thoughts, actions, and demeanor. If you don't have a purpose in life then you will know just how difficult life can be when you don't know where you are going. But you can easily start living your life with purpose straight away Alpha males are few; that's why you won't find more than one alpha male in a group. Any growing or nomadic males that are interested in taking over an animal group will have to face the Alpha to a fight, one on one, for the position in the animal pack. This doesn't mean that he's the only male in the group; the other males (beta males) are simply submissive to the overpowering presence of the alpha male and don't challenge his domain as a result. Most females of an animal species prefer an 'alpha type' male males that exhibit certain characteristics that prove he's not only strong but smart and protective enough to keep their group safe. Human females are no different; on some base level, most women are attracted to the types of men that exhibit the same features as an Alpha in a pride of lions. Having the ability to have offspring with an 'alpha' that is strong, smart, and quick are all desirable traits to have in a lion cub, and just like the lionesses in the pride, human women also locate men, 'alpha men', that exhibit the same sort of qualities to not only protect their children but also pass on those traits through the generations.

Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves


Book Description

A New York Times Bestseller and winner of the PEN / E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award "Game-changing." —Sy Montgomery, New York Times Book Review Mama’s Last Hug is a fascinating exploration of the rich emotional lives of animals, beginning with Mama, a chimpanzee matriarch who formed a deep bond with biologist Jan van Hooff. Her story and others like it—from dogs “adopting” the injuries of their companions, to rats helping fellow rats in distress, to elephants revisiting the bones of their loved ones—show that humans are not the only species with the capacity for love, hate, fear, shame, guilt, joy, disgust, and empathy. Frans de Waal opens our hearts and minds to the many ways in which humans and other animals are connected.
