Synopsis

Dorian is bossy and doesn't pull any punches. Indy just wants to have fun. Sarah hopes everyone will get along. Crystal needs everything to be perfect. Sound like anyone you know? They're not your coworkers, though they may remind you of them. They're not your family members, but they may act like them at times. In fact, they're a community of birds living in an exotic forest, racing against time to save their beloved Home from impending disaster. What can they teach us about human nature? As it turns out, a whole lot! Follow the eagle, parrots, doves, and owls as they discover the four behavioral styles that explain why we all think, act, and say the things we do. In this entertaining fable, you'll gain answers to profound questions, such as: Why did my coworker say that? What was my husband thinking? Why do I click with some and clank with others? Taking Flight! helps you identify your own style and gives you simple techniques to recognize the styles of others. Whether you're an executive, parent, teacher, team member, or friend, Taking Flight! reveals how applying behavioral style wisdom can dramatically improve your effectiveness at work your personal relationships...the very quality of your life!
