Corporate Jungle – The Elephant
The first Elephant in a suit was Babar the Elephant King, from 1931 in the French children’s book Histoire de Babar by Jean de Brunhoff.
There is an LGFG FASHION HOUSE elephant in the room, and he is truly King in his LGFG suit.
Elephants are considered the gentle giants of the jungle. However, with its sharp tusks, immense might and enormous stature the giants don’t mess around when challenged. Remarkably, elephants have distinct personalities and complex social interactions akin to humans. For almost two thousand years biologists and philosophers going back to Aristotle have viewed elephants as highly intelligent, wise and intuitive.
In elephants, the strongest personality that emerged was that of leadership, established not by dominance, but by the respect gained in showing intelligence and solving problems.
In the corporate jungle, those with the elephant personality are those individuals who are indispensable with their knowledge, skills, and abilities. You will find these individuals at the top of the organizational hierarchy, sitting on Board of Directors, Executive Councils or the CEOs themselves. Think legendary leaders like Grant Cardone, Richard Branson, Mark Cuban, Ryan Holmes among others.
Put on your LGFG suit and be The Elephant.
