show of power

I just finished translating a book that correlates the behaviour of apes with that of managers and such. This is what I decided to use after reading quite a bit of information about ape behaviour (mainly about gorillas).
See:

"show of power, designed to intimidate"

Maybe it will fit into your context too.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tina Vonhof (X) : or intimidating behaviour - that would match up better with Alexander's other question, in fact you could then pull the two together, just as in the Dutch source text.
