After taking the test on Wednesday and writing about the cartoon about the one sheep that is taking a risk and trying to stand out above the flock, I found this cartoon to follow up. The sheep that stood out in the first cartoon took on the risk of being attacked by the wolf that we all know about. But this cartoon shows that the sheep was very successful and had many followers. All these sheep look very happy and to realize that all that it took was for one sheep to stick his neck out and take charge. If you have a good idea put it to use and you will have followers to help you get to where you want to be.

When trying to teach leadership it is amazing how simple certain demonstrations can be but how influential they really are. When wearing the chinese finger links the other day in class I feel that they got the point accross. When it started out just two people running up the stairs it really was not a problem at all and the made great time. As more and more students hooked their fingers together it become more and more difficult to get everyone on the same page and moving quickly. Once Dr. Feinburg joined in the other workers in the company did not realize that he was going to hold them up and they ended up breaking the chain. With the lack of communication between workers it is very difficult to get thinks running smoothly. This was a great presentation and showed some great aspects of team work and how it is not always easy to work as a team if there is no leader or anyone that takes charge.

Tower of leadership

Finding a good leader that stands out from the crowd it difficult to do. But once you find that great leader that is will to scrafice his life to make others around him better you will be able to slowly build bonds and trust among the workers. It is very important for the leader to take into consideration the thoughts and concerns of his/her followers. With no followers the leader will no longer have anything to lead. The more the leader bonds and helps out with the workers under him/her the more likely the workers will back the leader up when he/she is in a bind and in need of advice. I really thought that this picture was appropriate for this article for the fact that when the leader is having trouble and staring to fall, if he/she looks to his/her workers for advise or help he/she will be able to get back on his/her feet and head back in the right direction.
