An elephant herd is always led by one elephant. Imagine how only one elephant gets a herd of 200-300 elephants walking in the same direction. She makes sure they all collaborate successfully to find food, raise the little ones and protect themselves from harm. What can we learn from this type of leadership?
For who?
People who lead teams that need to collaborate.
