What an annoying squirrel’s behavior taught me about leadership, unproductive thinking, and “survival” in the workplace.

Chimpanzees show us the importance of cultivating behaviors that can help us get out of “fight-or-flight” mode, get back to ourselves, and build bonds of trust that lead to healthier relationships.
