Read the Latest TIGERS Press Releases“TIGERS” Transforms Businesses into Ferociously Successful TeamsNew book details how five outstanding companies use six simple TIGERS principles to excel---and your business can too.
Author and organizational leadership expert Dianne Crampton has spent 20 years studying and analyzing how businesses work. She has a proven track record of turning troubled companies and organizations around with six key team-building principles she calls TIGERS: Trust, Interdependence, Genuineness, Empathy, Risk, Success. “I help remove obstacles so people from the loading dock to the CEO’s office can do their jobs well. The bottom line is, I’m a teacher. I love to help people succeed. TIGERS explains how I help leaders build teams where their employees care as much about the company as they do,” Crampton said. Crampton was instrumental in the effective merger of warehouse club giant Price/Costco; she played a key role in the merger of Northwest Medstar, and her work with Native Americans was featured at a United Nations conference on cooperation and excellence in the workplace. TIGERS Among Us takes a rare, in-depth look inside four cutting edge companies: Zappos.com, Dos Gringos, 4Refuel, and Tribe, Inc. Crampton details how both large and small companies can create highly motivated workforces that are collaborative, team-focused and exemplify the TIGERS concepts. “While most companies are satisfied with a comfortable market share, these five organizations often achieve market superiority with roaring success,” she said. After each company’s chapter, Crampton offers summary “action items” that businesses and organizations can use to brainstorm and help increase their own success. “It’s no accident that these are highly successful companies. All five have remarkably happy and dedicated employees, from the boardroom to the break room and beyond. The TIGERS values are the key to building ethical, quality-focused, productive, motivated and enthusiastic groups of people inside and outside of the workplace,” Crampton said.
