Lead the Pack

Over the weekend I was at my parents' farm, helping them get some of their things ready for the auction they are having in a few weeks. Just before lunch we were watching a little bit of television and found a TV show called "Dog Whisperer" on the National Geographic channel. Having raised and trained German Shepards when with my parents when I was younger, I turned it on and watched the stories unfold.

There were all kinds of scenarios with problem dogs and helpless owners who didn't know what else to do.

You know what was funny? Cesar Millan (the dog whisperer) made a great point throughout: once you teach the owners to act with calm confidence and take the position of pack leader, most behavioural problems were resolved.

The dogs simply were lacking in strong leadership.

Once they had strong leadership, there was no more confusion, insecurity and chaos on their end and the aggression, agitation and unwanted behaviours were much easier to eliminate.

Kind of like with humans eh?

When we lack strong leadership, people are insecure, confused and go in all kinds of directions, fighting with everyone and causing all kinds of problems.

WITH strong leadership, there is a definite direction and purpose to living and all the insecurity and confusion falls away.

Who is your strong leader?

Are you confidently leading others from your position in life as well?

Learn from the best leaders around you and from some of the best books or courses on leadership (like John Maxwell's)... or from the Dog Whisperer.

Then go out there and lead the pack.
