'Managing People Is Like Herding Cats...' iss what the Leadership Guru, Warren Bennis said and wrote about! And he had compelling reasons for doing so. To quote him: “People may, however, be coaxed, cajoled, persuaded, adored, and gently led.” He continues further, “...any leader who dares to think of himself or herself as the ‘cat’s meow’ will likely be hissed and clawed. The recipe calls for more catnip, less catnap!”

Very successful people managers stand out for the following reasons:
l They understand that motivation is almost always intrinsic

2 Motivated people move faster, take ownership, solve problems and build and keep the team together

3 Encourage people to work hard and play even harder

4 Help every one in the team to become career-resilient
