Understand what the situation needs and bring the tigers. There’s too much emphasis placed on being the lone wolf.

~ Steven Rudolph

We Americans love our independence. It’s kind of our thing, going all the way back to our founding as a country. There’s something about individual success that’s empowering. Saying “I did it–all by myself!” makes us feel strong.

It can also make us feel lonely. And contrary to what we may think, taking on challenges as a “lone wolf,” in the words of our friend Steven Rudolph, doesn’t always give us the best results.

Steven Rudolph believes in tigers. Not only the big cats, but the tigers we all have inside of us. Here at Brilliantly Resilient, we see our tigers as our Brilliance. And Brilliance is meant to be shared.

As Steven reminds us, when we bring our tigers, or Brilliance, and encourage others to do the same, we discover better solutions to challenges and build better teams, as everyone brings their best selves to each situation.

Our tigers are our strengths, and combined with the strengths of others–our tribe–we are more productive, successful and stronger. We’re all just better.

Tune in for more of Steven’s Brilliance on this episode of the Brilliantly Resilient podcast.

Let’s be Brilliantly Resilient together!
