Alex Haslam: The Academic View of Self

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.
