The Ape in the Corner Office by Richard Conniff

The Ape in the Corner Office by Richard Conniff is a naturalists perspective on human behaviors in the office. It is a darkly humorous counter point to the more orderly corporate world described in Daniel Coleman's book Emotional Intelligence at Work.   He compares the air kissing that upper class women often do in social events to similar behaviors in female primates.

He has also written several books including, Swimming with Piranhas at Feeding Time: My Life Doing Dumb Stuff with Animals

The book, The Ape in the Corner Office: How to Make Friends, Win Fights and Work Smarter by Understanding Human Nature is available from Amazon.com
