Leaders, sh...my take on why they don't follow,<br /><br />Leaders, shepherds are leaders but drovers no, not really. <br /><br />Drovers push cattle from behind. The cattle do not consider them part of the herd. While driving the herd, they must have additional outriders to keep the herd together. It seems to me to be a terribly stressful time for the cattle and they learn only respect the whip rather than the cowboy.<br /><br />Now shepherds on the other hand seem to have the respect of the flock. That staff that is historically carried has always been for the protection of the sheep and not to drive them forward. It's there for protection, to hold the wolves at bay so to speak. They follow because of that respect and the peace that is associated with him. <br /><br />The biggest difference between leaders and those who are simply “in charge” is how they treat their flock, herd or people. Leaders are part of the whole while those in charge often make it a point to consider themselves above the rest.Brian McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811241319998746785noreply@blogger.com
