What's The Mammoth in the Room?

It's the presence of the undeniable evolutionary truths that shape our behavior and impact business decisions every day-but no one is talking about it!

Having held high-performance, multinational executive leadership positions for decades, Nicolas Pokorny made a transformative discovery: To lead humans successfully, he needed to understand the fears, resistance to change, dominance biases, and other evolutionary forces shaping their behaviors, decisions, and group dynamics.

In his revolutionary book, The Mammoth in the Room, Pokorny shares a wealth of practical insights, strategies, and stories about how to align humans around common goals and lead them effectively through ever-changing markets and times. The book is a masterclass in leadership that cuts through the fluff to provide a clear roadmap for emerging and senior leaders-all with a unique focus on the evolutionary foundations of human behavior. The mammoth has been named-now we must tame it.
