Video: Riding Lesson #1
Stevie, the horse, teaches me a thing or two.
This was my second effort to learn how to work with Stevie in the ring. This turned out to be one of the most eye opening lesson on leadership I have experienced. Even when I had the technique down, I was still challenged to get him to move in the direction I wanted. In reviewing the video, I realized that I was not being clear with my directions, and was waiting until he had already changed direction before letting him know he was on the “wrong track”.
How often do leaders do this with their teams?
