We Are Alpha Dogs: How Seven Dogs Become Business Legends (A Business Fable About How High-Performing Teams Work Together To Achieve The Impossible)

While this may, on the surface, look like a tale about seven lovable dogs, the principles of how communication styles and personality types affect teams at work just might open your eyes to a whole new understanding of yourself and the people around you.

Seven Dogs find themselves profoundly disappointed by their human family, when they discover they’ve been un-invited to the family vacation. This is a very big red flag. After being left at home, they fear that next, they’ll all be left out in the cold.

The Dogs have to decide what to do next. Do they run off and find a new home, or wait for the family to return only to do just what they are told to do? Or do they decide to write their own story?

There’s one mission, if they choose to pursue it, that just might change the way the family sees them forever. There’s ONE thing that the family has always wanted and never been able to achieve. And the Dogs just might be able to pull it off.

The mission? Bringing the ducks back to the farm’s pond. If they can get the ducks back to the pond, the children will be happy, the visitors will come back to the farm, and the parents will have another source of income.

But what seems like a simple mission, turns into a complex chain of events that’s going to require all seven of the Dogs to work together and understand each other, at a whole new level.

When Big Dog calls the Dogs to a meeting at the Oval Table, he reminds them that, in order to succeed, they all need:

• Scotty’s intuition for avoiding risky situations,
• Ranger’s optimism for what the future could look like,
• Tracy’s uncanny sensitivity to what others are thinking and feeling,
• Buster’s ability to build trust with people almost instantly,
• Jack’s focus on getting the right things done and in the best order,
• Stan’s understanding of how all pieces are moving at the same time.

Can they learn to appreciate each other’s talents and tendencies, work together, and earn their place among the Legendary?

Or will the family give up on all of them and leave the Dogs behind for good?

This light-hearted business parable is filled with insights about why some people work together well, some struggle, and only the legendary find the way to bring everyone to the table to accomplish incredible missions together.
