What Horses Know About Life and Leadership

In a herd of horses, the lead mare sets the direction and pace of the herd. The lead stallion keeps the herd together and protects them from predators. For a leader to gain the confidence of the herd, they must demonstrate the following capabilities:

  • The leader must be paying ATTENTION and able to detect even the most subtle changes in the environment. 
  • The leader must give them clear DIRECTION on where to go next.
  • The leader must follow that direction with focused ENERGY, providing them guidance on the pace with which to respond to those changes.
  • The leader must show CONGRUENCE of her inner and outer expression.

With the lead mare you don't ever have to wonder what she is thinking, her body language tells you and she never lies.  Ultimately, the herd must know the leader has their best interest as her sole source of motivation at all times.

Working with horses, people learn to embody leadership qualities and as a result they:

  • Become more attuned to what is happening in their community, marketplace, and organization
  • Build confidence in their leadership because they are giving clearer direction
  • Create momentum with focused energy on a vision
  • Demonstrate a compelling level of authenticity

Confidence in leadership makes a community / organization more agile and adaptive to change.

Our clients say the work with the horses helped them get clear on what matters most to them and because of that they were able to make better leadership decisions. Many of our clients have said it was the first time they felt truly grounded in years.
