"Prepare to learn about leadership from the experts...Horses!" Leaders today are faced with unprecedented challenges. Leaders have to build relationships that allow for easy transfer of knowledge, skills, and abilities. Horse Sense for Leaders: Building Trust-Based Relationships provides an engaging case study of inter-species trust between horses and humans. The book features the work of Horse Whisperer Monty Roberts, author of the New York Times bestseller The Man Who Listens To Horses. The book blends Robert's work as a world leader of non-violent horse training with current research on the value of being a trust-based leader. This unique blend of research, anecdotal stories, and engaging models allows for an interesting and provocative read on how leaders can engage followers in more effective relationships at work.

Author Q & A

November 19, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Why did you write this book?

We wrote the book to how how trust is created and maintained between humans. We used the case study of New York Times Best Selling author Monty Roberts, who is known for his trust-based leadership approaches with horses and humans.

What about Monty Roberts inspired you?

Monty is the original Horse Whisperer, and he humbly states that he "discovered" the process called Join-Up early in his career. Join-Up is the gentling approach he discovered in order to get a saddle, bridle and rider on an untrained horse in about 30 minutes without stress, pain or anxiety. It's an amazing process to witness. A totally green horse willingly accepts these things without force, and by choosing to trust the human trainer.

How is this discovery related to building trustworthy leaders of people?

The capacity that we call trust is not an emotion. It is a capacity that can be developed based on conditions. If we can identify the human behavior and conditions to accelerate trust from Join-Up, then we can transfer these concepts to human-to-human relationships. The book walks readers through trust-building steps and skills to accelerate trust between humans.

Was it a fun book to write?

Yes, we interviewed a variety of people--from executives to staff at Monty's ranch to understand how Monty applies trust outside of the round pen with horses. The books includes an assessment that will help readers think more intentionally about their own leadership practices and how they can build more trusting relationships.

I have to say after reading his book, this one was a disappointment. It was a high level (much too high level) overview of concepts already in his other book.

Outstanding and Inspiring!

September 27, 2015

Format: Paperback

Horse Sense for Leaders is engaging, thought-provoking, and inspiring capturing the essence of leadership and brilliantly sharing story after story of the power of trust. In a world where trust is a rare commodity, this book offers hope that leaders can transform business through trust-based leadership and authenticity. Certainly, a must read for aspiring leaders who will meet the challenges of the exit of the baby boomers, the complexity of work, and need for innovation and teamwork to maintain a competitive advantage.
