What horses taught me about winning at work, from setting boundaries to embracing humility
‘I’m a horse whisperer that teaches the world’s top companies what they can learn from troubled animals’
Your coach will tower above you and will certainly challenge you, pushing you outside your comfort zone, but they’re also partial to a scratch and some fresh hay. Your coach is a horse – and “horse whisperer”Sounds odd? Not, it seems, to representatives from Microsoft and the Federal Reserve and CEOs from Fortune 500 companies, who have found the lessons they’ve learned from Golliher’s horses “transformational”.
If the pressure is too relentless, he explains, “a horse will always go back to its foundations.” This is not so good if those foundations were shaky to begin with.builds, that’s when we tend to see people for who they really are. Relentless pressure at work, especially by way of micromanagement, without any release or acknowledgment when people get things right, means they will stop taking risks which, within certain parameters, is where growth often happens.
Many of the problems that arise at work are because poor managers fail to pick up on the signals before it’s too late. Golliher says the most effective leaders he has worked with possess a hefty dose of. “They have some of the attributes a good horseman has,” he says. “They have a feel for the sensitivity of some people. They honour the slightest try. It could be just a smile for a good job.”
