About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Stefan Swanepoel wrote a wonderful and insightful book. His writing draws you in and make you feel like your in Africa. You learn about the animals of the serengeti while learning about yourself {strenghts and weeknesses}.It was a fast read but one that you want to reread.What animal are you? I would be a mongoose. (l
