Synopsis

There are autocratic lions in a workplace. And there are peace-loving elephants, nonchalant chimps, eager beavers, single-tracked eagles, and self-centric snakes too. All protect a crippling status quo until a game changer joins and unleashes greater possibilities. Will you be a game changer at your circus? Written in two parts, Game Changers at the Circus first tells a compelling fable about the transformation of a sluggish circus where animal leaders were stirred into dropping their silo-mentality to orchestrate the greatest performance possible, together as a team. Next, The Game Changers' Leadership Workbook offers straightforward and proven steps leaders and their teams can apply to transform even the most toxic workplace into a positive environment with a culture of Greatness.
