This prey mindset explains why we're so driven by fear and why facts barely move the needle in heated debates. Instead of throwing more data at disagreements, we need to understand what harms people see and meet them there.🎧 Full episode at https://bit.ly/TLP-471?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=westudyleaders // https://bit.ly/TLP-YT-471?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=westudyleaders - this one will change how you see conflict forever.#Leadership #Psychology #Communication #Morality #PodcastLife #HumanBehavior
