To increase your beahavioural flexibility
Key tips to adapt how you come across to other animals in general
  • Say ‘no’ occasionally
  • Attend to completion of tasks without over-sensitivity to others’ feelings
  • Be willing to reach beyond your comfort zone
  • Take risks
  • Delegate to others
  • State unpopular opinions

For further development
Horses are immensely likeable people. They’re great team players and sensitive to other people’s needs. At meetings they tend to stay in the background, because they don’t want to draw attention to themselves. When it comes to presenting they can be self-conscious and worry about what others think of them.

Lion
To increase your behavioural flexibility
Key tips to adapt how you come across to other animals in general
  • Practise active listening
  • Pace yourself to project a more relaxed image
  • Develop patience, humility and sensitivity; concern for others' needs
  • Use more caution
  • Verbalise the reasons for conclusions
  • Identify with a group
  • Be aware of existing sanctions
For further development
Lions like to get things done. They’re driven, single-minded and always in motion. If they see a need to flex their style or learn new skills they won’t hesitate. Most, but not all Lions, also think they are right about everything. As a result they don’t always listen to other people because they ‘know’ the answer already.
