MENTHER LEADERSHIP
Mental Health and leadership Our minds need to be refreshed and our cups to be filled
O
ne of my favourite animals is an elephant. It doesn’t matter how often I see them, I still find them to be majestic creatures that silently command respect. Not because of their size, although I have to say that they are massively intimidating. Their character, in my opinion, often seems at times far superior than that of us human beings. The matriarch plays a critical role in influencing the livelihood of the herd.
She exudes tremendous wisdom and inner strength to guide and influence the herd to better pasture, especially
for water during the dry, hot season. The matriarch has lived long enough and has had immense experience to understand that her social impact may either make or break the strength of the herd. She needs to have spatial awareness of her herd to be sensitive enough for the emotional connectedness with regards to behavioral character of each animal. For the herd to thrive and be in place of absolute wholesome mental strength, the matriarch must be strong and humble to understand each individual Inspire | Connect | Empower
