the war

The Shepherd is known for not being detailed. The Shepherd often does not get involved with the day-to-day running of teams. This separation means that those closest to the Shepherd either shoulder a load or become the same. The team around the Shepherd forget how to execute efficiently and on a mission. Peacetime drives laziness and Shepherds abhor war.

Ares was the Greek god of war. He was brutal and direct. Ares would rush in, filled with bloodlust and aggression, head-first. He would waste lives and resources. The Greeks did not revere Ares, they despised him. The Greeks worshipped Athena. Athena was brilliant, subtle and fought with intelligence. She did not make a wasteful move; she was not foolhardy in her ideals.

The wisest of the Greek gods was revered for her war strategies. War is necessary. Strategic war is imperative to success. The Shepherd is fantastic at designing a system. The Shepherd requires a tactician who can form up the army for the battle. The tactician will need to create the campaign and lock in long-term objectives.

You will need to balance the Shepherd’s hostility to aggression and war. Be aware of removing the emotion and the pull it holds on the Shepherd out of the war. See, rationally, what is in front of you, but to get a Shepherd to enter the fray, spiritualise your battle. Make the end goal grand, visionary and essential for mankind. Allow emotions to colour the Shepherd, but keep rational in your plans to move and execute the plan.

War is an excellent analogy for executing plans. War leaves no room for hesitancy. It is moving – stick to the plan or die. While we exist in the most peaceful time of history, conflict can be a substitute to build a team into a highly motivated machine.

As a member of a Shepherd’s team, expose yourself to conflict. Make yourself self-reliant and comfortable in difficult situations and make sure you are unintimidated. War will teach you to react with lightning-fast decisions through your gut.

How can you understand how to create motivation, balance, and peace if you do not understand war’s Machiavellian nature?
