How to
Model Leader Behavior
Steward - be the ant not the grasshopper Shepherd - be the border collie not the wolf
Seer - be the visionary not the doomsday prophet
Example The National Park Service cares for special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage.
Steward - be the ant not the grasshopper
Example A well-trained herding dog works in partnership with its handler and obeys to perform its job. Properly trained, the dog is able to move the
sheep just about anywhere. Good herding dogs control sheep with calm authority and without excessive "commotion." A poorly trained dog has
the opposite effect on the sheep. http://www.sheep101.info/herdingdogs.html
Shepherd - be the border collie not the wolf
Example (At GAO) Our Mission is to support the Congress in meeting
its constitutional responsibilities and to help improve the performance and ensure the accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. We
provide Congress with timely information that is objective, fact-based, nonpartisan, nonideological, fair, and balanced.
Seer - be the visionary not the doomsday prophet
DefinitionsSteward - one who looks after things (resources and events) for the benefit of others. Shepherd - one who cares for and guides others. Seer - one with unusual powers of foresight.
