A fascinating insight on humanity through the eyes and work of this Social Psychologist, Professor Alex Haslam, from the University of Queensland.

We discuss

• The Stanford Prison Experiment (conforming to role) versus (his work as cocreator of) the BBC Prion Experiment. 
• Milgram's experiments and work on conforming to authority - see Alex's TED talk about this - 'The Psychology of Tyranny: Did Milgram Get It Wrong?'
• Leaders as 'Entrepreneurs of Identity'. One can only be a leader when you have engaged followership. It is not a title, it is a way of being. 
• Our sense of self comes from how we identify within groups.
