2. When it comes to being a leader,
there are plenty of recourses all
around us from which inspiration
can be drawn.
Following are some of those
inspirations:-

3. THE
TEA BAG

4. The Real Flavor Comes Through When The Teabag Gets Into Hot
Water
To get the best flavor, we
need to put the tea bag into
hot water. And then the real
strength will show! Likewise,
the true character of a
person actually shines
through in problems. How
does a person behave under
pressure, when he is in ‘hot
water’? The hot water test is
a good one – to judge the
quality of the tea and the
true character of human
beings.

5. Good Teabag Look Forward To Getting Into Hot Water
Leaders know it will give
them a chance to show their
true worth. So next time you
see a challenge, a tough
situation, think like a tea bag
and dive headlong into it. It
may be the opportunity
you’ve been waiting for to
show what you are capable
of.

6. Teabags Work, Never Mind Where They Are In The Cup
Notice wherever the tea bag
is placed inside the cup –
high, low, vertical,
horizontal, it does not
matter at all. The tea bag
would influence hot water.
Likewise, for true leaders. It
does not matter which
position they hold within
the team. They would
always stand out and
benefit the whole team.

7. Sometimes, You Need To Add Some Milk And Sugar
Sometimes tea itself is not
enough to serve as a perfect
beverage. We add milk and
sugar to enhance its taste.
Similarly, the leader also
need support of his team
members and he himself
need to add more qualities
and knowledge to himself so
that everyone is able to
extract their own
requirements and are
satisfied.

8. HONEY BEE

9. Honest Communication And Sharing Information Is At The
Heart Of The Team
Bees use vibrations and
pheromones to help pass
complex messages. We have
so much technology to help us
communicate; let’s not forget
that using it with honesty is
they key to excellent
communication

10. Co-operation Is The Key To Success
Though the individuals are
small, behaving as a single
organism and working to a
common goal means that
great things can be achieved
together

11. Division Of Labour And Thorough Training Can Be Highly
Efficient
As bees mature, they move through all
the jobs in the hive before becoming
food gatherers. This means that they all
know how to perform a whole range of
jobs and in an emergency situation they
can revert to former occupations to lend
a hand. This is the key to enviable
flexibility and adaptability.

12. Bee Prepared
Bees make honey while the sun
shines, they store the extra food
when times are good as they know
that there may be leaner times
around the corner. Again, this
allows flexibility and confidence in
tomorrow.

13. The Leader Is Truly The Servant Of All
We tend to think of the ‘Queen
Bee’ as the leader of the hive,
sitting regally whilst her workers
bring home the nectar. In truth, the
queen is the servant of the team,
laying the eggs to ensure the future
survival of the colony. It’s the team
behaving as one, in pursuit of a
common goal which brings success,
not a leader laying down the rules.

14. ELEPHANTS

15. THE LEADER OF THE HERD HAS A VISION
The Leader of a herd has the Vision. Yet they do not drive the
others - they lead by example. They protect and nurture the
young and old; engaging and communicating with each
individual within their community. This ensures everyone
understands what is happening before and during activities
with a minimum of surprises

16. Choosing The Right Team Members
Elephants, like humans, can’t
always choose who they work
with, but they can build
relations with those in their
herd. They can make sound
choices about who they bring
into the herd in the future and
they can choose the best ways
to manage “rogues”. Elephants
develop and thrive on
community with every one
chipping in to support each
other.

17. Communication Is The Key
In every elephant herd,
communication is key. Not
something talked about - it is
the way decisions are made
and actions taken. Also, it is
not about the leader telling
everyone what they should
do. The leader makes time to
listen to the members of their
herd and consider their
perspective before changes
are made that affect the
entire herd

18. Focus On Continuous Improvements
The leader of every elephant herd
is constantly and unrelentingly
focused on observing and making
little improvements. They sense
that every little improvement adds
up to a stronger and sustainable
herd. Elephant leaders encourage
their group to make the effort to
see new ways to weather hard
times and seek out new food
sources or ways to reach the food.

19. Alpha Wolf-
The Leader of the Wolf pack

20. Quiet Confidence, Quiet Self-assurance
The main characteristic of an
alpha male wolf ‘is a quiet
confidence, quiet self-
assurance. You know what you
need to do; you know what’s
best for your pack. You lead by
example. You’re very
comfortable with that. You
have a calming effect.’

21. Patience
The alpha male wolf is not
aggressive. They don’t need to be.
‘Think of an emotionally secure
man, or a great champion.
Whatever he needed to prove is
already proven.’

22. Team First
An alpha male may be a major
player in a successful hunt but
then, after the take down of
prey, may step away and sleep
until his pack has eaten and is
full.

23. One Team One Family
An alpha male does not act
aggressively toward the
pack members. They are
his family.

24. Defend The Family At Any Cost
An Alpha male is fierce in defence of family and apparently never back
down in a fight with a rival pack. Yet within his own pack, one of his
favourite things is to wrestle with little pups and pretend to loose

25. Ants

26. Ants Aren’t Intimidated By The Size Of Their Workload
Ants aren’t intimidated by the
sheer size of the objects that
they need to carry, so why should
we?

27. Ants Value Teamwork
A single ant can only do so much, but
when they work as a team, they are
able to achieve greater heights!

28. Ants Are Organized
They are so organized in how they carry out their tasks that they
are able to accomplish it no matter how big the task is.

29. Ants Save for Rainy Days
Ants try to carry the food to their ant
colony and save-up for the rainy days
;when applying this to your business,
it isn’t wise to keep on spending the
moment you see the slightest
available cash you can spend.
Remember that you can never really
tell what might happen in the future

30. LION

31. A Lion’s Roar Can Be Heard From Five Miles Away
LESSON: Make yourself heard
You may have good intentions in mind,
but if you don’t say them out, nobody
will know how noble they are.

32. Lions Are Very Social Animals; They Form Groups Called Prides
With Sometimes As Many As Forty Individuals In a Pride
LESSON: Interact With
Others So That You Can Get
Better
The leader should recognize
himself as a river feeding
others and being fed by
others in turn. A river which
isolates itself, which feeds
nothing and which nothing
feeds will sooner or later start
to stink or dry up.

33. A Lion Can Spend Up To 20 Hours A Day Sleeping
LESSON: There Is a Difference
between a Leader and a Slave,
Find Time to Relax
If you want to have an enjoyable
life, learn to not let activity
dominate your life. Find time to
relax

34. Lions Rarely Eat Entire Prey, They Usually Leave Leftovers For
Other Animals Like Hyenas AND Vultures
LESSON: the ability to share is the hallmark of a leader

35. Male Lions defend the pride’s territory while females go to
hunt. Despite this the male gets to eat first
LESSON:
Learn how to
delegate responsibility
