Wisdom from the Wild: The Nine Unbreakable Laws of Leadership from the Animal Kingdom
Take a walk on the wild side with fascinating and compelling leadership lessons from the animal kingdom.
Wisdom from the Wild shows you - whether you’re a new or experienced leader - how to learn from and be inspired by the wildlife and wild places all around you. Through nine “Unbreakable Laws”, creatures that might seem unusual or even unexpected in a book about leadership - such as naked mole rats, spiders, and even sea cucumbers - will teach you how to:
deal with change
more effectively lead teams
build your resilience muscle as a leader
Reinforcing these essential lessons from the wild, Julie presents a myriad of business case studies and immediately actionable tools to strengthen your leadership skills. Dive into the natural world as you’ve never seen it before, as you uncover your leadership prowess among the animals.
Available everywhere books are sold (even your local zoo or aquarium gift store!)
“This book has been twenty-five years in the making…It’s a collection of the experiences, the memories, and the moments that I hope will challenge, inspire, and motivate you to continue growing as leaders.
Nature is always teaching us, if we have the presence of mind to listen. I learned early in my career that deep down inside, people understand this, which is why they always want to hear ‘one more story’ about wildlife and wild places and the lessons they can teach us as leaders.”
- Julie C. Henry
