Episode #3: We Need More Sheepdogs
Episode Notes
We need to be training sheepdogs to protect the sheep and battle the wolves. Sheep dogs have a sense of personal responsibility to protect the herd by leading the sheep to safety and away from the wolves that want to feed off of them.
The sheep dogs actions and results inspire the “sheep” to begin moving in the direction of the change initiative. There are always wolves in every organizations. These “wolves” have the most difficulty embracing change. Wolves are cunning hunters that seek to feed off of the sheep in their environment. Sheep dogs protect the sheep and force the wolves to look elsewhere for their food.
Our special guest on this podcast is Ken Gans (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-gans-7340a55/). Ken is the Senior Manager, IT Strategic Planning at Hitachi High Technologies America.

Our discussion with Ken helping to highlight the differences between physical, intellectual and emotional labor.
