I heard myself in the video telling the jeep driver to leave way for the beautiful tiger that graced us, as we spotted him in the bushes. It was obvious to me the tiger was surveying if he had enough space, a path to cross, between two jeeps and I wanted us to not be in our own way. We were the ones who had ventured all the way there to see this magnificent being, yet could have blocked that from happening by our boorish/bullish stance. I had a chat with the driver after and checked if he was ok with me directing him and he seemed happy I checked in.

That made me contemplate true leadership - the need to recognise when we need to step back for excellence to unfold and when we need to step in to direct things, in order to get ourselves out of the way.
