Leading From Behind

The last couple of posts have discussed "leadership" and "followership". This week's Saturday ride was a true example of Leading From Behind. (LFB) The theory of LFB is one proposed and championed by Linda Hill of the Harvard Business School. The professor had the idea when reading Nelson Mandela's autobiography, in which he likens leaders to shepherds directing flocks from behind. Some sheep will move ahead, the flock following these trailblazers, (Max) but actually, it is the shepherd who oversees the flock. Hill says that today's business climate requires leaders who act similarly, allowing their charges to emerge, lead and innovate. The manager, meanwhile, supports these initiatives, yet stays ever mindful of the bigger picture and direction.

We compliment Prez. Hale for LFB this week to Big Mtn. However, how far behind can you be and still be a leader???  And, can a leader cheat on his Strava post and post the total of two ride as one?? And, if he truly loses the "best-of-ride pic", how many times does he have to ask a total stranger which picture is better??

Leading/Shepherding, in either case, is a difficult task at best with the PCRs. Some might say it's like herding cats, but cats are much easier than a bunch of OLD GEEZERS.

Do you think we should go back and get Prez. Hale?

LFB is a lot of FUN!
