Changed by a lioness:

I was once charged by a lioness and the experience changed me.  For one thing, it gave me an insight into leadership.

Have you ever been charged by a lioness?  No?  Well, I guess that makes me the expert.  And if a lioness suddenly appeared in your life, you will look to me for expert advice.  But the real question is this - will you do what I say?

That, after all, is leadership - people look to you and they follow you.

There you have it - the leadership insight I gained in the African bush.  The mere fact that I am the relative expert when it comes charging lionesses does not make me a leader.   Unless your trust in me overcomes your natural inclination to run, you won’t do what I say, you won’t follow my lead.

And as you will discover too late, it is not a good idea to run from a lioness.  Nor from your leadership problems.
