Synopsis

Every day another company cuts jobs or slides into bankruptcy, forcing thousands of people into uncertainty, anxiety and a sense of helplessness. With a failing economy, even the normal tribulations of life have been intensified so that everyday hardships seem insurmountable. For 1.5 million wildebeest of Africa, their Serengeti is a 1,000 mile-long migration filled with hunger, thirst, predators and exhaustion. The journey is impressive, dangerous, and so incomparably massive that is often considered the #1 natural wonder of the world. The migration offers us a unique window on the very essence of life itself, wherein we observe seven skills that individually and collectively stand as a guide for business and life. Surviving Your Serengeti is a business fable describing the 7 skills the animals of the Serengeti use to survive in the desert - the same skills every person needs to cope with changes in business or in life. Endurance - The Wildebeest Strategy - The Lion Enterprising - The Crocodile Efficiency - The Cheetah Grace - The Giraffe Risk Taking - The Mongoose Communication - The Elephant The story reveals the primordial skills for overcoming adversity, conquering one's fears, and ultimately triumphing over all challenging conditions.

2 1/2 stars. It was a good try. Very much another book on how to be a better person in life and in business. Nothing Earth shattering or really that new. The story around the different animal strengths felt a bit forced. I liked the idea of adding grave to everyday life, but I think the author reall......more

Goodreads review by Nicki on March 01, 2011

I haven't sat down and read a book from cover to cover in ages. Usually when I do, the book is what all would consider fluff, chick lit. Surviving Your Serengeti is not fluff. It is not chick lit. It is amazing, though. Life skills and lessons in fable format. Descriptions that make you feel like yo......more
