Brink had the benefit of observing real lions on the plains of Africa and then spending years working among and observing the hungry denizens of New York’s Madison Avenue business community. He said: Instinctive thinking is the core component of how the people who resemble lions in the office operate. They know what works for them and what doesn’t. They know the line between what they want to do and what they don’t want to do. Everything else is irrelevant. They are not looking for a paradigm. They are the paradigm!

At the top of the food chain the lion has a “big cat mentality” and has no need to be afraid. In the workplace, the “big cat mentality” is visible in the lion’s confidence that he or she has the ability and freedom to be instinctively decisive and that this is a prerequisite, not an entitlement, of the job. For the good and great lions in the workplace, it is also a responsibility to use appropriately. Instinct complements the lion’s other personal qualities, strengths, and experiences. Instinctive thinking is one of the most distinct and important “species characteristics” of the lions.
