Ian Thomas draws parallels between how a successful team works and that of a pride of lions. Covering everything from teamwork, communication, goals, and incentives, using the example set to us by successful lion prides.
Business strategist Ian has spent over two decades as a game ranger, closely observing lions. He draws from his experiences in the African bush to compare the teamwork strategies of lions with those in business environments.
Ian's studies reveal that lions are the only cats that hunt in teams, a tactic they developed to hunt large herds of antelope on Africa’s savannahs effectively. This team-based hunting strategy proved highly successful, enabling individual lions and lionesses to thrive and their prides to become powerful.
In his presentations, Ian highlights the interdependent success of individuals and the team, encapsulated in the idea that "the success of the team is because of the individual and the success of the individual is because of the team." This principle underpins both effective lion prides and successful business teams.
