		<description>Hmmm... I&#039;ve got to say Shepherd and Angel hybrid would describe my leadership style the best. Probably 2/3 Shepherd &amp; 1/3 Angel.

What style is yours?

		<description>Love this inquiry, Hiro.  Thanks for asking the question!

It&#039;s funny. . I think about leadership a lot.  It&#039;s a topic and experience near and dear to my heart.

After reading this post, I notice that my heart is in the angel zone-always has been.  Where as my thoughts of late are that of a shepherd.  In fact I often describe what I do as being a sherpa, and yes, it is lonelier than I prefer.

Thanks for the opening! I&#039;ll enjoy integrating and expanding my leading angel.  :)

Now, where did I put those wings. .. lol

w/ much love,
Judy

		<description>I love hearing your voice- in every way! Your leadership ideals speak to me in ways that of course the more patriarchal male-models of business never have. I am still reflecting on the different types to see where I fit, but I suspect that in some ways it depends on which client I am working with. I believe there is definitely a differential style - some clients need more of one than another to make their particular shifts.

Curious what you would say about that, Hiro.

Love as always
xox
Lisa

		<description>Hiro,
This is a radiantly thoughtful post on leadership — I love the archetypes you have chosen here… I would say I most resonate with the Angel — Shepherd energies…  

Your post also got me to thinking about how I bring my own archetypes into my leadership…

I have been in class identifying my archetypes using Caroline Myss&#039;s Sacred Contracts as Model. Two of my archetypes that I am working with this lifetime are networker/storyteller and seeker. I see my leadership as that of making connections for people to become their fullest expression and of supporting people in telling a new story about their life. For the seeker part, I bring a sense of curiosity and seeking to share truth, beauty and possibility with others. Thank you for helping to see my &quot;wheel&quot; in a light — both in how I am working with these archetypes and how I bring this archetypal energy to others.

Thanks for the inspiration!
Love and light,
Shannon

		<description>Lynne, yes! The Artist-leader, exploring and expressing ideas and ways of being . . . lovely. Thank you.

Yael, I love your story about your friend&#039;s two boys, and the ways in which they grew into their names. Names are powerful--naming is, after all, one of the original acts of creation. Names for the angel-leader . . . Divine Architect?

Yay, Leonie, for claiming the Saint within you as well as the Angel! Someone else mentioned in the comments that nobody had owned up to being a saint-leader. I&#039;m happy you have. :-)

Amy: Angel Amy has a nice alliteration to it. 

Wendy, every mom is a shepherd as well as an angel. And, there&#039;s the angel who carries the blueprint for shepherd-ness too! 

Deb, Victoria, Stacy, Sarah Marie, you lead with your hearts and transform the world around you.

Love, Hiro

		<description>Once again you have stimulated my mind.  Love it.  I come up with the model of the artist for the way I most want to work, only with ideas, not paint or images.

I used to think of wanting to transmit ideas, but that seemed to require &quot;knowing&quot; in some kind of definitive sense which isn&#039;t possible.  Now I see the process as one of expressing, which stimulates others to respond, which leads to everyone learning more (including me!)

Thanks,

Lynne

		<description>Reading your articles is like swimming in a pristine pool of water. Always so much purity and light AND practicality!

I had a dear friend years ago who married a Persian. They had two boys - Kahran (King in farsi) and Shabawn (shepherd). I watched the boys grow into men, and also witnessed how they &quot;grew&quot; into their names.

Kahran carried strength and royalty; Shabawn tenderness, wisdom, and strength. 

Your article reminded me of the power of names, their inner essence, and I wonder what name would convey the essence of the angel-leader?  Any ideas?

Thanks for sharing your inner beauty and wisdom.

		<description>We talked a itty bitty bit on Twitter, but I feel as if I&#039;m a Shepard Angel hybrid. :)

Shepard: I care a lot about people and went through a phase of getting all my caring tossed back at me in evil ways. Sort of like Havi&#039;s shoe thing. I finally woke up and not caring just wasn&#039;t an option for me. I noticed that those people just weren&#039;t ready or able to accept the caring from me or who I am.

The most I can be is me.

I like to know people and them to know me. I enjoy the transparency and I believe it allows me to better help people. This is why I started my eWorkshop and have such a personal involvement with it by having one on one appts. with people.

Angel: I have a vision of how people can be a bit happier, know themselves more, and be more reliant on themselves physically and mentally than most are used to being.

If all of that makes sense. ;)

		<description>It&#039;s so refreshing and helpful to see some different ideas of &quot;leadership&quot; in this post. A great reminder that even Seth Godin &quot;Tribes&quot;-style leadership can come in different varieties, and we can move from one style to another or be more than one at a time.

As the mother of young children, I&#039;d say I&#039;m in Shepherd mode much of the time (with a good dose of stewardship thrown in there too), and can surely vouch for the loneliness. 

As an entrepreneur working to create a transformational business, I strive to be an angel (I&#039;ve been called that by a few clients) but have had trouble feeling comfortable in my wings. Perhaps it&#039;s time to step (er, fly?) more fully into that role -- or maybe come up with a different word as Hiro suggests. Heart-centered leadership, maybe? A fun one to think about.

Interesting to note that none of the commenters (me included!) thinks of themselves as a saint :) Do we really not think of ourselves this way or are we simply uncomfortable claiming the title? If we called it &quot;visionary&quot; or &quot;big-picture&quot; leadership would it resonate with anyone? Just wondering.
