He has been given an ultimatum: improve his leadership behavior or find employment elsewhere. Multiple employees quit because of him and provided a laundry list of reasons why Derek is a terrible boss. Now, Derek has only the weekend to self-reflect and craft a plan to save his job. He digs deep to muster the energy to help his third-grade daughter with a weekend reading assignment about a tiger lord on the brink of losing his tribe when faced with a life-threatening event. The parallel to Derek's own crisis is... enlightening.Through the pages of Becoming TIGERS, Crampton addresses key leadership and teamwork mistakes from the lens of a micro-managing, command and control leader who is faced with devastating losses. What Derek learns from a pointed children's fable just might change everything!Sometimes the best lessons in life are the simplest.
