The following poem is a play on the different character traits that most leaders possess. A leader usually has drive, self-confidence, creativity, cognitive ability, business knowledge, motivation integrity, and flexibility.
The wounded deer, whose will is to live,
even though it is to die;
A confident cat jumps from the ledge,
always to land on its hind.
There is no food, the desert is dry,
but the lion still tends to her cubs;
A bat in the night, finds its fruit ripe,
by echoing its voice above.
The bear eats till next spring -
she knows where the salmon spawn;
An entire flock follows one's wings,
as soon as it starts to get warm.
The elephant can not even tell a little white lie;
and penguins adapt, in order to survive arctic ice.
Which animal are you like? Even though I believe that I posess most of the leadership characterisitcs that the poem illustrates, I find it difficult to consistently implement the respective required trait into real-life situations. I guess that's what separates us from animals...we have the power to deny reasoning, while animals act on instinct. What do you think?
