HOW WE GOT OUR NAME
The merging of two concepts…

GORILLA – Leadership
We use the term “Gorilla” in two different contexts:

  • “Gorilla Leadership” emphasizes the characteristics of the Silverback Gorilla, an animal that leads by example and stays true to itself. This part of our name describes the leadership-related services of our company.
  • Corporations have been referred to in the business world as “Gorillas” because of their sheer size and tendency towards stability and traditional structure. Gorillas & Gazelles uses the term “Gorilla” in this context to describe an individual’s preference for working in a corporate environment; a characteristic measured in our Serengeti Assessment Process™.

GAZELLE – Entrepreneurship
“Gazelle” is another term for a fast-growth company and was made popular by economist David Birch. A Gazelle, by Birch’s definition, is a business establishment with at least 20 percent increase in annual revenues over a period of four or five years.

  • This part of our name describes the focus within our recruiting services division—to help entrepreneurial and fast-growth companies find and hire qualified talent. We do this by presenting quality candidates that demonstrate the appropriate work environment capacity.
  • “Gazelle” is the term used in our Serengeti Assessment Process to describe an individual’s preference for working in entrepreneurial or fast-growth environments.

Gorillas & Gazelles is a professional services firm founded on the principles of leadership, entrepreneurship & organizational enhancement.
