Horses are five times, or more, larger than we are, why do they obey us? It is because of the power of our focus and intent, but also significantly, because of the social relationship that we develop with them as you say above. Certainly for any manager, your group is larger and stronger than you as an individual. As such, these lessons are highly appropriate.
