A HERD OF SHEEP LED BY A LION WILL DEFEAT A PRIDE OF LIONS LED BY A SHEEP!- Myles Munroe
(Prov 30:30: 'A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any')
Never stay under a sheepish person as your head. The above text presents a graphic topic of how lions behave, move and lead. The lion is the clear leader and undisputed king of the jungle. It has a certain prideful demeanour, especially when they are in groups. I guess that is why a group of lions is called a pride of lions. One thing that makes the lion stand in a class of its own among all other animals in the wild is their leadership and team spirit. Just watch them on any wild life film or documentary and you will see a colourful display of leadership virtues that humans are still trying to learn. Here are a few of them:
1. Lions are very quick-witted. You can never catch a lion napping or looking confused about when what is happening around it. It always seems to seize the initiative. For instance, when hunting down a prey, lions have a way of pre-empting the prey's next moves and plans. A good leader must also be a person of quick wits, clear reasoning and a step– ahead person.
2. Lions have a superiority mentality; they feel all other animals were made for lunch! So they go after any animal, including elephants. A good leader must have a certain mind-set of being in-charge. You can't truly lead a team, a family or even drive a car full of passengers if you show cowardice timidity and an inferiority complex like sheep do.

3. Unlike sheep that have to be shown the way to virtually everywhere in life, including where to graze, lions show the way! 'A good leader not only knows the way, he shows you the way by taking the lead”.
Everyone of us will someday occupy certain position of leadership, at least as either the head of a home or the head of the kitchen! Either way strong leadership skills are required to handle them without hitches and hiccups. You don't need to be 'a roaring lion, seeking who to devour' to lead successfully.
Leadership is not by force; it is by influence. Which position of leadership are you holding presently? Please remember, all eyes are on you! Your world is waiting for you to lead to the next level. There are other emerging leaders trailing you behind for mentoring and guidance. You can't afford to fail them. Don't be sheep leading a pride of lions, rather let it be the other way round. Shalom. -(Credit: Fresh Manna Devotional)
