A lion is 'a king of beasts' obviously for a reason. - Jack Hanna
Now what is it actually that makes a lion become the boss?
In business the lion is a paradigm of efficient leadership and controlled self-management and thus a role-model for those who're planning to come far in their area.
I remember that being in a basketball team at high school, our team captain's nickname was the lioness.
Now what do these wonderful creatures have what makes them become leaders?
The lion's the king of the beasts for a reason
For time immemorial, the lion has been the number one.
He's a symbol of power, strong leadership and authority. Yet did you actually know that a male lion sleeps 20 hours a day? So how can he be king if he's actually not present most of the time?
Here's how the scientific author and bionics expert Matthias Nöllke described the lion's secret to success in his speech What managers can learn from nature - Source.
The lion´s rules of success:
- Do as little as possible yourself.
- Just delegate to professionals and control according to results.
- When necessary, show strength.
There is strength in serenity seems to be the motto of the lion.
Now thinking well about it I must say that all strong leaders I know have that special aura around them. They provide you with the sensation that everything is under control at any time, and that there are few things which may ever disconcert them.
If I compared their behavior with mine, I'd probably assert that I'm too impulsive sometimes.
Yet, serenity can be trained.
First and foremost, managers can learn the benefit of comprehensive task delegation by observing the lion. - Matthias Nölke
While the jungle's ranking order is set in stone, as human beings we can decide whether we wanna hunt or be hunted.
There are few things nature can't teach us
What evolution has built up over millions of years must have happened for a reason.
We as human beings can effectively learn from many correlations that apply to wildlife.
Remember: It's not about being present all the time, it's about knowing when it makes sense to roar.
