TAILS IN THE BOARDROOM CANINE LESSONS FOR BUSINESS TEAMS

摘要

Dogs know the secrets to productivity and harmony within their packs; humans are often blind to these simple truths. Pack theory and canine behaviorism can be successfully applied to manage and improve human relationships. This study is an examination of how common canine behaviors within packs (e.g., conflict management, leadership, and communication) are equally effective when employed by members of business teams. Canine and human examples from current literature and observation illustrate the potential for improving efficiency, productivity, and collaboration among teams without raising hackles.
