As I watched this gentleman and as he spoke about the Alpha males it came to mind I know women in leadership positions that have many traits of the Alpha male.

Thank you for the great talk Professor Trimple.

[YolandaGPolk]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks Joe!

Both figuratively and literally diversity in leadership results in the most success. Earth itself is biodiverse and therefore more capable of beautifully incredible and diverse existence, let us take notes!

[tekkhero]

Good talk. Nice to allow for diversity in leadership styles rather than trying to define one ideal

Leadership is situation based. He exaggerates and generalizes the alpha leader. A woman's approach to leadership, however, can bring a big change to an environment and culture and I completely agree on that point.

[GosiaOver]

Very insightful and timely message for the organisations nowadays. Thank you.

From my perspectives and view,
Relationship is important for a leader to function well in a diverse culture, ways of thinking and diverse backgrounds of education.

[QuinnJacoby]

Great talk, thanks,  Joe,  for always making me think critically and inclusively :)

Bruce lee stated be like water. There are multiple leadership styles and numerous types of personalities, people learn differently and are motivated as well as driven for more than 1 reason. 1 type of leader would not be as effective leading an opposite Adaptation ensures success

[vivianoosthuizen]

How many corporations did he manage in this way and what was the outcome

[danamann]

Unfortunately all of these adaptable, honest, authentic people get pushed aside by egotistical bullies whom then become our leaders!!! We need to start a whole new egalitarian social philosophy style of governing that will run parallel and then watch as the old system crumbles. This is already happening.

Being an “alpha” isn’t about being the strongest power holder or being domineering – it is about being the best at what the team values.

You are dominant because you are the best
You are dominant because you create most value
You are dominant because people follow you
 - because it is in their best interest to
do so

If you are not an alpha you are not a leader

[OneKitBashingCrimes]

But is he the one to deliver this message? His bias over shadows his authenticity...

[jakhiyamakhai]

Why are there different leaderships according to the video plzzz help me if you are watching this

[khalilcofilms]

1st, we don't know the constraints of the situation in the story he tells. 2nd, if the shape of a table is the excuse one uses to say leadership is effective or ineffective is quite ridiculous. 3rd, just because someone has a prominent seat at a table does not confer dominance as an alpha male. One can only claim this title in the midst of the action. 4th, alpha's can be female. 5th, the behavior described during the intro is not correct. Those actions if used in a situation of life and death would most certainly yield a negative outcome.

[eliyasara]

this is so obviously trying to be PC and 'inclusive' that it doesn't even have any literary or presentationary weight or instruction . BORING.
