Description
Take a walk on the wild side with fascinating and compelling leadership lessons from the animal kingdom. Nature is the perfect teacher for the challenging and very personal concept of leadership. And no one knows this better than veteran zoologist and leadership consultant Julie C. Henry. Wisdom from the Wild shows both new and experienced leaders how to learn from and be inspired by the wildlife and wild places all around them. This fun, new approach to leadership challenges presents nine ""Unbreakable Laws"" that readers can learn from the animal kingdom. These true, fundamental guidelines with concrete examples from wildlife can steer a leader's work and decisions. Readers will discover how to deal with change, work more effectively as a team, and build their resilience muscles from creatures that might seem unusual or even unexpected in a book about leadership-such as naked mole rats, spiders, and even sea cucumbers. Julie C. Henry guides readers on an extraordinary dive into the natural world as they've never seen it before to uncover their leadership prowess among the animals. A former zoo and aquarium senior leader, Julie C. Henry is president of Finish Line Leadership, a training and consulting firm, and has worked with over fifty-five organizations across corporate, nonprofit, government, association, and community sectors. She holds bachelor of science degrees in both zoology and education, a master of arts in communication, a postgraduate diploma in outdoor education, and an executive program certificate in sustainable business leadership. Julie has presented to over one million people across thirty-two states and six countries, in onsite and online settings.
