The “Way Of The Horse” – A Revolutionary Model For Socially
Intelligent Leadership with Linda Kohanov

Power and leadership are two words that are inextricably entwined.
We are all leaders at some time in some area of our lives. But to
be an effective leader, one has to know how to use power
effectively. In this increasingly complex world, where anyone from
any background can instantly access information and resources to
empower and advance their position in life, and anyone with a great
idea can raise money online and conceive a multi-million-dollar
corporation in the corner of a basement or a garage, command and
control forms of leadership are on their way to becoming obsolete
but learning to share power in a balanced way is still one of our
greatest human challenges.

Linda Kohanov is an international speaker, leadership trainer, and
the bestselling author of The Tao of Equus. In her new book, The
Five Roles of a Master Herder, she offers a new approach to
leadership, rooted in the collaborative power of ancient herding
cultures and based on her decades of equestrian work. For thousands
of years, master herders have developed a multi-faceted, socially
intelligent form of leadership that combines five disparate roles
with unique qualities of leadership. Effective leadership, asserts
Kohanov, comes from a holistic balance all five of these roles. The
Five Roles of a Master Herder shows readers how to develop and
employ them consciously and fluidly in their “modern tribes” of
families, workplaces, and other social organizations.

Linda Kohanov joins Sandie this week to discuss:

~ What can equine-based wisdom and the nonverbal leadership skills
of ancient herding cultures teach us about leadership in the 21st
century?

~ Why is “power” is such a difficult topic to discuss in our
culture when it plays such a huge role in just about every kind of
group of people?

~ How we can recognize which of the five leadership roles we may be
overemphasizing and which roles we’re avoiding.

~ How the five roles of a master herder can lead us through
potentially “explosive” situations at home, and in life.

~ Non-predatory power and how we can use it in our daily
lives?

~ And more…

Linda Kohanov established Eponaquest Worldwide to explore the
healing potential of working with horses and offer programs on
everything from emotional and social intelligence, leadership,
stress reduction, and parenting to consensus building and
mindfulness. She has used this revolutionary new model with
executive teams at such companies as Nike, Chubb Insurance, and
Raytheon.
