A. Yes it can coexist in the
workplace. However, if your boss is an alpha-male type you may bump heads. But it usually will lead to a mutual
respect between you both. However, if your boss looks to you to be his alpha male, even though he is in a position
above you, it can yield to you getting away with breaking the rules and being fast forwarded with a promotion.
B.
Quite the contrary. Alpha males don't shout, have attitude, or command people around. An alpha male leads by
example, is very polite, etc. Shouting implies that the particular person who is shouting doesn't feel important
enough to be heard and thus has to resort to "shouting" to be heard. Not an alpha male trait. Having "attitude" is
only warranted when your being attacked with attitude, stand your ground but know your limits, sometimes the bigger
man really does walk away (your indirectly saying that he/she isn't worth your time with your actions), but even
then you do not shout, by being cool calm and collected it shows that you have CONTROL of the situation, which is
what an alpha male is. And if you notice people who tend not to shout back at the person usually get shouted at even
more by the other party because the other person is feeling even more secure by shouting in the first place.
C.
Yes, its very practical. Its not really laid out in a sense that you have to follow certain rules but more so in the
fact that your whole personality revolves around a single concept. For instance, when dealing with a female, refrain
from volunteering information unless she asks. When in a conversation, don't be afraid to direct the conversation
to where you want it to go, and try to do more listening then talking. When people feel the need to talk to you its
because they feel your valuable enough to hear what it is their trying to say. Never go out of your way to speak
with someone, your important and therefore they will come to you. If the particular thing that you wanted to talk
about wasn't really important then drop it all together. By seeking out a particular person and asking for their
time in a conversation your indirectly telling them that they are more alpha then you are. So let people come to
you.
D. Its about letting people do what they want but them always doing what you want. IE, consulting you before
we go out tonight to see where you wanna go, them apologizing for things they do to you, waiting for you to speak..
just think about a son/father relationship when how you felt when you were dealing with your father, your father was
the alpha in that case. Think about the emotions you felt, how you felt when you thought he'd be pissed off, etc.
An alpha male is, for lack of a better term, everyone's father who are in the same social group.
E. I suppose a
more aggressive mone. But the main thing is that your body lanugage, speach, and other things have to complement the
mone/alpha you portray. Ex, shoulders back, chest out - shows dominance. Chin up - shows territory. Eyes slightly
closed - shows relaxation because you dont feel threatened. Also, speaking very slow is very important (not to
slow). Also, jerky body movements is a non-alpha trait. You want to be slow a deliberate with your actions.
F. A
true alpha male IS a gentleman!
