Dustin Davis is a cowboy who trains and breeds horses and cows. Along the way, he has discovered that horses have an opinion. Training them to respect your opinion on command demands you take a leadership role with them. It's a skillset that translates directly to leadsing people as well. It also involves flexible communication skills. Each of us maps out a plan for a day's activities, however, the horse may not agree with our plan. We adjust. We become malleable. We work around the difference of opinion - which is very much how we work together as people as well. The book: Cowboys and Condustors.
