“Too many leaders act as if the sheep…their people…are there for the benefit of the shepherd, not that the shepherd has responsibility for the sheep.”
– Ken Blanchard –
So — anyone else feel a little sheepish?? Haahahhahaa!!
I just told my Wonderful today — work is nothing but a warehouse for adults and school is a warehouse for kids.
Since we are creatures of habit – you can’t help but start to recognize the similarities. Seriously, been proven by scientists too. I saw the above quote and man it says a lot about the time we are in and experiencing together. How many bosses don’t really take responsibility for their people? You look good dang it ~ How is the mind rested or burden of spending all day in the office/job easied?? It isn’t. Look at Japan too. There are people there working 80 hours of OVERTIME. How is that possible? Wow!
Everyone is looking for an edge. That new and exciting “thing” to crack into and make their piece of the pie. Yet a lot of people end up idle and just riding — their mind and spirit start to except the sheep herding. That sucks.

Good morning to all –!! I just wanted to touch base with you out there on the net concerning the “sheep”. Yesterday, an article by Reuters was published called, “Herd mentality rules in financial crisis” — OOOO —- =)
“Herd mentality rules during a financial crisis because people are wired to follow the crowd when times are uncertain, experts say.”
Ah, the leaders and the lead. ”Brain and behavior studies” will not show scientist why people stop listening to there own logic. We are people, and we are only more evoloved than our counterparts in nature. That’s it. We have the exact same reactions animals and nature do. We are not perfect – no matter what you believe. We aren’t.
“When people are presented with a situation where they don’t have information or the information is ambiguous, we see activation of the amygdala and insula,” Berns said in a telephone interview.
Quit doubting in yourself. Believe and know you can. If you cannot, you will not.
The reason is evolution, Zak said. “We are really hyper-social apes. We learn almost exclusively from each other,” he said. “Gossip is really important because it is another way that we learn socially. Separating out rumor from fact is difficult, particularly in these complex markets.”
I really hate saying it – but why do you need someone telling you that we are apes?? Furless – with bigger brains, apes. Please start to see you are much more. I keep saying that – it is so important to know that there is a much bigger world and picture out there.
