Title: Surviving Your Serengeti
Description: 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.
