B I K E R S C L U B ® | www.bikersclub.in SHOUT OUT The Wolf Philosophy The Social Wolf The wolf is a very social animal. They travel together, eat together, hunt together and play together. They are referred to as a pack. Just as management hierarchies vary in size, wolf packs vary in size but average six to seven members. Does that sound like an executive team? Each pack member plays a specific role with a very specific rank. Some young wolfs go off on their own (Lone Wolves), in search of their status. Generally speaking, the older wolves in the pack tend to be the leaders and they command the respect of the pack. They make the decisions for the group. The pack protects itself and it protects one another. Let's examine the wolf's Leadership traits and what we can learn from them. Strategy & Planning Wolves understand that survival depends on a successful hunt. As a result they do not practice panic response management that we as leaders sometimes demonstrate in a crisis. wolves actually develop a plan working together to insure that they capture and kill their prey. They are extremely patient and understand that success is not guaranteed and that a success rate of 100% is not realistic. Every wolf within the pack has a specific role and they are expected to live up to their responsibility.
