The way it is – Leadership

What if everything you thought about leadership was upside down?

A photographer studying a wolf pack revealed a formation that challenges our deepest assumptions about power, authority, and responsibility. What they found turns conventional wisdom on its head:

🟠 The weakest wolves set the pace, guiding the pack without force.

🟠 The strongest flank and guard, shielding the group from danger on every side.

🟠 The so-called “leader” takes the rear, observing, protecting, and guiding from behind.

In the wild, leadership isn’t about standing at the front or asserting dominance. It’s about awareness, timing, and service — knowing when to lead, when to defend, and when to step back to let others thrive.

This natural blueprint offers a profound lesson for humans: true leaders don’t just command; they protect, they empower, and they ensure the whole group succeeds. Sometimes, the greatest act of leadership is quietly holding the line from behind.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
