Earn Your Stripes is a leadership book and children's book wrapped into one. The story focuses on a group of tigers at the Fairview Zoo. Sam, the leader of the tigers, is a super-striped tiger who has earned her stripes by consistently displaying positive behaviors and by being kind and helpful. Her goal is to help the semi-striped tigers earn their stripes as well. People come from all over to watch Sam and her team perform at the zoo. However, when Sam gets injured during a performance, Edgar, the only stripeless tiger in the zoo, has different plans for the team. Sam has to rally her team to win back the adoration of her fans.This book is inspired by the 10-80-10 leadership principle, and it is written in a way to show younger children that being kind, respectful, dependable, and hard working are qualities that allow individuals and teams to excel. Just like any organization has a top 10-percent, a middle 80-percent, and a bottom 10-percent, the Fairview Zoo has super-striped, semi-striped, and stripeless tigers that represent these categories. It is the goal of the top 10-percenters to bring as much of the middle 80-percent up to the top. Unfortunately, the bottom 10-percent can have the same influence in a negative way.Read along as Sam and her team try to bring prestige to the Fairview Zoo by earning a Blue Ribbon Zoo award. Sam must lead by example and encourage all of the tigers to do their part to earn their stripes and to work together to make the zoo the best that it can be.

For decades, Clotaire Rapaille's work focused on how people's relationships with the most important concepts in their lives—love, health, and money, for instance—are guided by subconscious cultural messages. But recently, he has uncovered a new phenomenon: a "global unconscious," or core values and feelings that are consistent worldwide—the result of our constant interconnectedness. He has also identified a new group who are paving the way for the future of decision-making: the Global Tribe. These individuals are fluent in the language of culture, untied to any notion of nationalism or ideology. They are defining the key values driving our new world economy, with profound implications for how companies market their products and services. Rapaille takes us on a journey through China, Brazil, India, England and everywhere in between to discover the new standards for luxury, pleasure, technology and education. How can elite brands compete in a world of knockoffs? How can universities maintain their prestige when a cheap master's degree or doctorate is only a click away? We must speak the language of the Global Tribe in order to succeed. Building on seven years of research, Rapaille analyzes how this new mindset has taken hold in various regions, and how marketers and service providers can tailor their offerings and marketing accordingly. The Global Code is an invaluable glimpse at how our new multi-sphere world is affecting us all.
