What If a Silverback Gorilla Could Teach You More About Leadership Than an MBA?
After coaching and training thousands of leaders at companies like Google, Prudential, Levi Strauss & Co., and government agencies across three continents, Strategic Advisor to Fortune 1000 CEOs, Linal Harris ventured deep into the Ugandan wilderness. What he discovered changed everything he knew about leadership.

About Nature's Leadership CODE
"Failure is effortless, but excellence requires intentional action."
In the wild, animal leaders fail far less than humans. Why? Because their survival depends on it. They receive continuous feedback, face clear consequences, and lead from instinct—not politics.
Nature's Leadership CODEÂ reveals 24 powerful lessons organized into 6 transformational chapters:
Chapter 1: The Foundation of Leadership
Learn why animals act decisively while human leaders hesitate, and how positional intelligence changes everything.
Chapter 2: Power and Presence
Discover why real strength doesn't shout and how a silverback's commitment to serving his troop redefined authority.
Chapter 3: Energy and Adaptability
Understand why nature knows a fraud and what a butterfly taught Linal about the power of authentic leadership.
Chapter 4: Weight and Responsibility
Embrace the invisible burden of command that makes you worthy of carrying it.
Chapter 5: Endurance and Recovery
Master the "rain, sleet, or snow...we go!" mindset that keeps purpose permanent through any storm.
Chapter 6: Alignment and Legacy
Build tomorrow today by protecting potential, not just performance.
