Wisdom from the Wild for Youth: Leadership Tales with Tails

You Are a Leader Now

Yes, you. Not someday, right now. And the best way to continue growing as a leader? Look to the wild. Every animal, plant, fungus, and bacteria is unique and valuable--just like all types of leaders are essential, whether introverted, extroverted, artistic, analytical, or anything in between.

Former zoo and aquarium senior leader turned leadership consultant and executive coach Julie C. Henry is back, this time with the help of her teenagers--Tasman and Kepler--to bring Wisdom from the Wild to youth. From vampire bats and barnacles to sharks and poison dart frogs, these potentially unexpected creatures will challenge you to think critically about leadership and what failure, resilience, and empathy have to do with it. With actionable tools, practical case studies, and inspiring stories, you'll become even more confident in making your own decisions as you craft your unique leadership style.

Ready to unleash the leader within? Let's dive in and have some fun!

Written with readers ages 15-20 in mind, this book is a dynamic extension of her first, adult-focused leadership book and introduces six new animals through her leadership tales with tails.
