Leadership. Do you ever Look behind


A Broker friend of mine emailed me this picture. She took the picture after watching for a few minutes. As she gleefully recounted the experience, I couldn't help applying the process with the Mother Goose to that of a Principle Broker. The Leader. My broker friend said the chicks followed, even into a dangerous situation...crossing a busy street. An UNSHAKEABLE BELIEF IN THE LEADER. The story included a situation where the chick bringing up the rear began to fall behind and was straying to the left, off track. The Leader noticed and circled back (all the little chicks staying in formation, following) to bring the one falling behind back into the line. Isn't that Leadership. Those following had to be learning to trust the leader...No doubt, gaining TRUST in the Leader to care if they should fall behind and stray off course. Maybe we need to Goose our leadship skills.
