Part III:
Control
Part III shows that among all the attributes of great leaders, one stands above the rest: they are highly trusted. Resilient cultures are built on trust, and trust affects a leader’s impact and the company’s bottom line more than anything else. The road to high performance is paved with choices. Leaders have the choice to be motivators or demotivators. Those who can see challenges as an opportunities to learn rather than insurmountable obstacles empower their teams to do the same.

Part II:
Challenge
Part II explores how to stay true to who we are in challenging times. Leaders who are willing to be vulnerable, admit they don’t have the answers, and ask for help empower their teams to step into a role of personal accountability. These leaders know that to succeed, they have to trust their people to do the right thing. They are allies working with their employees, not heroes taking all the glory.
Part IV:
Commit
Part IV demonstrates that building resilience is no different than building a muscle; it takes practice, persistence, and grit, despite inevitable setbacks. Nurturing our physical recovery is crucial to renewing our resources and buffering against stress. Resilience is not something that happens overnight. The key is to practice self-compassion when we hit an obstacle, taking the time to pick ourselves up and continue the journey.
"Disarmingly written..."

Part I:
Communicate
Part I introduces the concept of communicating for engagement. Leaders have the power to inspire others through communication that creates clarity and generates energy. The resistance to doing so often stems from fear of failure, rejection, and humiliation. We want to feel powerful, rather than vulnerable. But humility and emotional courage is critical to being an effective communicator and a powerful leader.
BUILD RESILIENCE TO THRIVE IN WORK IN LIFE
Stress is increasingly becoming an issue for leaders in the workplace. Highly competitive marketplaces, longer working hours, and higher performance expectations are all contributing to a more stressful work environment. And the news at home isn’t much better. Digitization and “always on” technology have blurred the boundaries between work and personal life, removing the natural buffer between them and costing us our health.
At a time when there is significant anxiety both at home and in the workplace, it is critical for us to understand how our bodies react to stress, why stress is a necessary element of our lives, and how we can better cope with it to become better leaders.
In Taming the Sabertooth: Resilient Leadership in a Stressful World, we are reminded that while we cannot necessarily change our environment, we do have the power to shift our response to that environment by building resilience. Through insights that are intensely practical and unapologetically straightforward, you'll discover that hiding behind a rock is not an option; to thrive in work and life, we all have to tame the sabertooth.
