CBS Faculty Live: Tribal Psychology in the Current Times with Professor Michael Morris image

Professor Michael Morris discusses his award-winning 2024 book "Tribal: How the Cultural Instincts that Divide US Can Help Bring Us Together."  He traces the tribal instincts underlying US political polarization and election denial, showing that a science-informed diagnosis is more constructive than most popular accounts of tribalism. More generally he argues that these evolved psychological systems can be harnessed by managers to rally collective action and by leaders to spark change.
