DynamicDuoTwins - "Motivational tip of the week"

module:  "Wolf Pack"

A famous line in the movie "Training Day" occurs at the beginning of the movie when Denzel Washington ask the new police recruit "are you a wolf or a sheep". This statement is the central theme of the movie in which all the events will revolve. The "wolf" represents the epidemy of the hunter who will stop at nothing when in pursuit of his prey. Wolves are known to hunt only in packs and will stalk their prey for miles before making the attack. Wolves adopt this mentality instinctively and are born with the natural synergistic ability to hunt in packs or a group. While this behavior is instintive it can be learned.

"Wolf is the Grand Teacher. Wolf is the sage, who after many winters upon the sacred path and seeking the ways of wisdom, returns to share new knowledge with the tribe. Wolf is both the radical and the traditional in the same breath. When the Wolf walks by you - you will remember." Robert Ghost Wolf 

Are you a team player? Do you have what it takes to pursue a team objective regardless of how difficult it may look? If so than maybe you are a "wolf".

In today's market the most effective and notorious sales representatives and customer service representatives are those individuals who have adopted the "wolf pack" mentality. When they are working together they are unstoppable and the competition may as well take the day-off.
What is it about the wolf that makes it so ominous? Individually the wolf is not a great threat to his adversaries but as a member of the wolf pack he becomes invincible.  

"The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual." Vince Lombardi

In the pack the wolf is feared and revered by his adversaries. His instinct and sense of committment, drive, tenacity and unwillingness to yield is unpararlleled. Have you ever noticed a sales or customer service operation that appeared to be very effective and efficient. Their quality services rating were high, their production was high, and their numbers were through the roof. Whether they were aware of it or not, they probably had adopted a "wolf pack" mentality as their mode of operation. When all the members of the team are working together, and whose goal as committed team members is to satisfy the team objective than nothing can stop their success.

Nelson Mandela "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

When you have learned how to identify with the "wolf pack" mentality your competition will fear you and your customers will love you.
