When is the last time you cried while reading a business book? Be warned, Dianne Crampton’s fourth published work, Becoming TIGERS – Leading Your Team to Success, is not your father’s business book. In this emotionally engaging novel and business fable, Crampton uses the best traditions of learning by parable to take us on a transformative journey through the jungle of myths, mistakes, and mastery of leadership. Apply the lessons from this engaging novel and you’ll improve your leadership skills for the rest of your life.Derek, a young manager and project team leader, is a mess. 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. If you are tired of traditional business management books with very little empathy for the challenges you face, then add Becoming TIGERS to your bookshelf today. It just may transform your life!

    “Becoming TIGERS” is a phenomenal how-to guide for navigating team relationships whether just starting out in the business world or needing a reminder down the road. Equally relevant in life as well as the workplace, Dianne Crampton offers concrete examples of communication, cooperation, and diplomacy through a relatable and enjoyable story-within-a-story. As a small-business owner and single parent, the book has been integral to me in helping my children as they enter college and eventually, the work force. Learning how these six leadership principles (Trust, Interdependence, Genuineness, Empathy, Risk, Success) relate has already enhanced our family dynamic and will, no doubt, strengthen their communication skills going forward. Should be required reading for all high schoolers!

    We’ve been working remotely since the pandemic. Becoming TIGERS is the perfect story length and story type for our new supervisors and managers to help them become better at leading remote teams.
    The subject of the story targets the 30-40 age group but our older managers indicate they are benefiting , also.
    We discuss this book weekly on zoom calls for training. At first we thought no one would be interested in joining us for leadership training discussions. Now people are lined up to take the course. A valuable resource for engaging younger managers and we are seeing positive results on their teams and in our customer service.

    I liked the approach the author took in toggling between “a day in the life of a business person” with a fable, while effectively delivering important leadership principles.
    Principles that on the surface seem to be intuitively obviously but in reality are fairly difficult to apply.

    A fable for the 21st-century leader, this easy read is fun and filled with core principles and reminders of how to lead today's team members collaboratively in a complex workplace. In this adult children's tale, the reader is reminded that today's leader has to start with unleashing talent and trusting the team. I found these tiger leadership principles to be highly aligned with what I've found are essential competencies to thrive as a virtual leader and my Working Virtually's Threefold Path to High-Performance Virtual Teams. A good primer for the new team manager and a good refresher for the seasoned organizational leader.

    Much like Aesop’s most famous fable of the Tortoise and the Hare, Becoming TIGERS: Leading Your Team to Success couches the message in the imagery without hitting you too hard over the head with lessons you need to learn. Each letter of the acronym helps break down practical steps towards becoming a better leader both in your place of business as well as practical advice that might even make you a better spouse or parent. A quick read and could be an interesting group read for small teams as they determine the best ways to work together towards a common goal.

    In the fast paced world we now live in - with so many distractions and options to pull at our energies, what a great little parable to highlight the importance of leadership styles within your career. Take the time to give it a read...and learn from the Tigers on how to listen, learn and practice continuous improvement. A journey that most of us need to take and/or work on honing our leadership skills.

    How refreshing it is to read a business book that isn't dry, isn't filled with charts and quizzes, but leads you through a warm parable that you can apply lessons to your business self, your family self... to life itself. It's a quick read that I'm now looking forward to savoring in a few days ... pulling learning that I can apply in all facets of life.
