To win promotions, you have to learn what makes executives and staff tick?
Question: Does President Obama know what makes the public feel warm and
fuzzy in the Gulf oil debacle? Why do the polls show him going down-down-down?
Are you a Blamer-Criticizer-Complainer-Briber-Punisher-Threatener-Nagger?
Is it "us" against "them"? Do we want to put the third largest petroleum company
in the world - O-O-B (out-of-business)? Will the U.K. still be our war pal?
Oxytocin (ox-si-toh-suan)
There is a brain hormone/neurotransmitter that makes Homo sapiens sacrifice to
win for their side, and lash out against their enemies (opponents). We are chemically
programmed for both trust-and-benevolence for our side, and aggression against
our competitors.
Oxy
Defensive-Aggression is how humans neutralize the threatening "others". It is Oxy
that does double-duty first as a Bonding (altruism) hormone toward our team,
and second a neurotransmitter producing the emotion of Aggression against "them" - making "us" stronger.
Huh
Aggression against "others" is an indirect form of Altruism (loyal behavior)
toward "us" (our side). It is evolutionary and has survival value for our species.
Get this: being altruistic toward "us" helps our side to proper, survive and spread
our genes.
Oxytocin (made by the Pituitary Gland) is a neurobiological mechanism (hardwired) with a dual purpose. First, Bond with our own group to add our
benefits to them, second be aggressive toward competing other groups.
So What
This is the first scientific proof for Tribal-Conflict evolving to modern Warfare.
And the winner is Oxytocin. It is not just the Bonding hormone it is the
Aggression neurotransmitter . In fact Oxy acts in opposition (reduces) Cortisol, the Stress hormone.
Oxy strengthens Positive behavior and empowers Negative behavior toward our
group enemies (outsiders).
In Practice
In your career it is best to create imagery (imagine) a specific enemy not an abstract one. You may be competing for the next promotion against one or more peers mentally visualize winning the promotion and raise, and humbling your competitors.
See a corporate enemy and create strategies to send them into bankruptcy. The more vivid and repetitious your mental imaging, the greater the emotional affect
on your brain and its neural circuits. Winning is 90% your feelings leading your
behaviors. This not a moral issue, it is hardwired biologically.

Envy And Gloating
Oxy (known as the love-hormone) affects Trust-Empathy-Generosity. It is equally
operates (affects) its opposite behaviors Gloating on winning and Envy when losing. Remember: when our association is Negative, Oxy increase negative feelings,
thoughts and behaviors.
Check U.S. Webster's dictionary for Schadenfreude. Originating from German schaden (harm) plus freude (joy). It describes satisfaction (pleasure) at another's misfortune (suffering). Admit it, we are all hardwired to enjoy the frontrunner being trashed.
Synthetic And Natural
Oxy is a natural hormone from the Pituitary Gland occurring childbirth and during sex. Synthetic Oxy has been used to triggers childbirth. Recent research at the University of Haifa (Israel) lead author Professor Simone Shamay-Tsoory, published in the Journal Biological Psychiatry.
Inhaling synthetic (artificial) Oxy causes higher levels of Altruistic feelings improving human relationships between folks. Synthetic Oxy inhalation also produces higher levels of Aggression.
Are there military applications? What about negative social (tribal) feelings? Can it help avoid decimating enemies? Holocausts?
Inhaling Oxy produces higher levels of Envy when the opposition is winning the game. Guess what? Inhaling when we are winning produces higher levels of
Gloating. Synthetic Oxy is an interesting scientific weapon. More research.
