Animals Inc.: A Business Parable for the 21st Century

In the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese? and the Fish! series comes an entertaining and time-tested parable about how to maximize a business career around one's strengths.

A group of animals with self-perceived shortcomings but great aspirations decides to attend school to become more well-rounded. But as the rabbit tries to swim, the pig tries to climb trees, and the others try to improve their "weaknesses," they end up frustrated and unhappy with each other. ANIMALS, INC. is a simple but powerful parable explaining a basic but vital business lesson: executives, managers, and employees need to focus on their strengths rather than spending too much time concentrating on their weaknesses. Gallup tells listeners how.
