Surviving Your Serengeti

When a brutal business environment meets a

soft economy, you need sources of inspiration

and wisdom for survival. This compelling fable

offers a riveting tale of life in Africa’s Serengeti

and lessons for today’s beleaguered business

people and struggling society.

Every year, more than two million animals

make a thousand-mile journey across the harsh,

beautiful Serengeti, a journey full of danger.

In this dramatic fable, a band of anxious travelers

witness the migration, meet a mysterious stranger,

and learn seven skills from the animals that thrive

in the extreme, constantly changing conditions.

Which animal are you?

Just as animals on the Serengeti possess a unique

skill that helps them survive, your strengths drive

you on when life becomes difficult. Are you an

enduring wildebeest, who understands that

any goal worth achieving requires pressing on

despite the hardships? Or are you a strategic

lion, who knows how to execute a sound

strategy with a stealthy, unified team? Do

you take brave gambles like the risk-taking

mongoose? Do you have the elegance of the

gracious giraffe or the remarkable skills of

the communicating elephant? Do you spot

opportunities in adversity like the enterprising

crocodile or are you as effective with your

resources as the efficient cheetah?

The travelers on safari in this fable discover in

the Serengeti the essence of life itself, and find

in the animals, a road map for mastering the

difficulties and struggles we all experience.
