The Wild Dog Approach (From Leading Peak Performance): Wild dog packs in Africa succeed because of their pack mentality. Each dog works together to ensure that its ultimate objective is met. Their objectives are met via the following four group leadership characteristics.

A shared vision – with a focus on one prey and a hunt for the same prey.

Shared leadership – there is opportunistic leadership; whichever animal is closest to the prey becomes the leader of the pack.

A high degree of individual skill – There’s no ‘I’ in the team, rather lots of ‘I’s in these teams. Great teams are made up of many great performers, but it’s the shared leadership part that makes them work well together.

Tenacity – continuing the hunt for hours rather than giving up after a short while.
