This is a very popular and enjoyable book which looks at how humans got to where we are today. It examines our society and our behaviour as a society. It is almost human civilisation summarised into one book. Experts are critical of the book, saying it doesn't actually bring much that is new, and challenging some of the claims in it. I find it accessible and educational. I gained many insights from it. I wouldn't have survived reading equivalent textbooks.
A big part of leadership is understanding human behaviour, not just individual behaviours, but also how we behave as a society and in complex organisations. When we learn to understand people, we get better at leading people.
