No, I mean really looked into its eyes and spoken to one?
When you do, you develop a deep sense of stillness and connection, no words are necessary.
So what can a horse teach us about leadership?
Horses see things at a level we only go to occasionally, sometimes never. Developing a connection like this without ever seeking to ride or master the animal is amazing. Imagine if you could connect with your people at this level and what that might mean for you as a leader?
Horses can tell you things about you which people don’t see or don’t want to tell you … or perhaps you wouldn’t want to listen to or acknowledge if they did! Being a leader can be a lonely existence with people always bowing down to your perceived superior knowledge or energy. Imagine how much more effective you could be with some really challenging feedback?
Horses are wonderful teachers, and will have infinite patience as you learn to see what they can see. What could you learn about yourself that would transform your leadership capabilities?
Horses help you develop clarity and focus, purpose and intention, grace and kindness … to overcome your fears, even your fear of horses. And what would it be like if you had these resources at your fingertips?
Imagine magnetically attracting what you desire … imagine without speaking you ask a horse to follow you …. and it does … when this happens you begin to experience a new level of connection with others, which translates to your clients and work with dramatic results.
And you might be asking yourself … where can I get that?

We came across this brilliant little video on Twitter – often a great place to find new and interesting resources on leadership. Dan Pink talks about motivation and how the old carrot and stick approach has been shown to fail for anything other than mechanical tasks that require little cognitive input. In fact monetary reward can actually make performance worse for tasks that require any degree of thinking.
What really makes the difference is autonomy, mastery and purpose which is directly related to the Leading & Developing High Performance 4 Step Process.
Purpose is important in the Visioning stage so that everyone knows where they are going and why they are going there.
Mastery is where a person is working to the peak of capability which is linked to the four step process. In the visioning stage – seeing the person performing at their best (Expectations theory) and in the Mobilising stage – building skills by giving effective feedback and catching people doing the right thing.
Autonomy is linked to the Enabling stage where the leader lets go and lets their people fly. By this stage they are self-directing and effective ‘high can do’ people.
See what you think of the video and get in touch with us. We can show you how to lead, manage and motivate your people to be the best they can.
We have been getting some really good feedback about our new tool for diagnosing poor performance. This flowchart can take the pain away from dealing with poor performing staff by providing a robust and objective process to deal effectively with this issue.
Once you find the root cause of poor performance you can take action and find an effective solution much more effectively.
“At People Tree Training, we coach managers through the entire L&DHP programme. We find that the diagnostic flow chart provides managers with a prescriptive approach for poor performance issues alongside an important consistency of approach.”
