A humorous problem-solving guide for capable leaders looking to successfully build their team. We all know the fable of the three little pigs. How they chose to build their house was key to their survival, and thankfully, one pig's humility, patience, and diligence saved them all. But once you've seen a pig's potential, how do you teach him to fly? In A Pig's Tale, author and retired corporate executive Abby Vega relates the story of the three little pigs to her own extensive and varied experiences in corporate America. After being hired as a manager, Vega was instructed to fire her underperforming team, but rather than agreeing, Vega made an impactful analogy. How the team members chose to construct their "house" was critical to building trust and establishing a solid reputation. Inspired by real-life and imaginary interactions with her co-workers, Vega adopted the pig as a mascot for success and presents a tale of unbelievable triumph to encourage aspiring leaders stymied by a difficult or toxic work environment. Offering guidance on how to work effectively and efficiently with their team, Vega cites valuable examples of work-related issues to help readers set realistic goals and boost their own confidence as well as their team's morale while shaping company culture. Featuring reader participation and reflection exercises, Vega's quintessential formula for success will have you taking chances and soaring to new heights.
