Stanford Breakfast Briefings: Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers: Organizational Rank and Stress

Presents: Robert Sapolsky

Professor of Neurology, Stanford University

Science proves that stress is not just a state of mind, but something tangible and measurable. Over the last three decades, science has been advancing our understanding of stress - how it impacts our bodies and how our social standing can make us more or less susceptible.

This session will unexpectedly equip leaders to identify stressors and mitigate adverse effects of hierarchy, rank and authority within your organization.

World renowned for his studies on stress and human behavior, and recently featured in National Geographic's documentary "Stress: Portrait of A Killer", Professor Sapolsky delivers an incomparable session on the physiology of stress and human nature revealed by his lifelong research of African baboons and observations of fight or flight responses in zebras.
