Animal Leadership Leadership Lessons Learned from Wildlife for Leading Yourself and Others

Usually when one thinks of personal development they do not think about stories from the great outdoors or adventures with wild animals. Rad Watkins's Animal Leadership: Leadership Lessons Learned from Wildlife for Leading Yourself and Others provides just that - stories of wild adventure with a message that can resonate with anyone who is looking to find out what makes them tic, and what it will take to bring their dreams to the next level. By paralleling animal behaviors to the actions humans require to achieve their greatness, Animal Leadership shows us that success is natural. The book teaches that everyone's personality can be compared to one of four great animals of power, and if you know what sort of animal you are you will know what sort of habitat to put yourself in to thrive. Animal Leadership also teaches how to best present ideas to other people based on the animal their personality is most associated with. Rad Watkins explains this system of Animal Leadership while telling stories of working with grizzly bears in Glacier National Park and rehabbing bald eagles in Northern Wisconsin, and other exciting tales from his 18-year career as an environmental scientist. Perhaps the most shocking part of the book is that because of a learning disability Rad Watkins is an unlikely candidate to have had a career as a scientist or ever written a book. Find out what it took for Rad to overcome his personal adversity to become the leader of his own life and learn how to lead others.
