ISSUE 01 | JANUARY 2020 BIKERS CLUB ® | MAGAZINE | PAGE 24 Sense of Urgency Wolves have a unique sense of urgency. They depend on one another. They are very focused hard workers when it comes to feeding themselves. They are one of the wilds most effective hunters and yet in spite of that they hunt to live. They do not live to hunt. They live by unwritten code that says the good of the pack comes first. How often do we uncover unsuccessful companies that are unsuccessful because of the CEO or ownership put personal needs ahead of business needs? LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM A WOLF PACK "A wolf pack: The first 3 are the old or sick, they give the pace to the entire pack. If it was the other way round, they would be left behind, losing contact with the pack. In case of an ambush they would be sacrificed. They come 5 strong ones, the front line. In the center are the rest of the pack members, then the 5 strongest following. Last is alone, the Alpha. He controls everything, decide the direction. He sees all of the pack. The pack moves according to the elder pace and help each other, watch each other. "Don't consider my kindness as my weakness.
