Four Leadership Lessons From Training My Puppy

Four Leadership Lessons From Training My Puppy

Last year, my life took a big turn. Into our once quiet house came a puppy with boundless energy!

As cute as could be, Murphy stole my heart the first time I saw his picture. Through the years, we’ve had cats, fish, and even frogs. But never a dog. I wanted to start with a puppy so we could watch him learn and grow. After all, teaching him right habits from the start seemed like the best option. And teaching tricks would be fun. How hard could the training really be? (All of you experienced dog owners can stop laughing now!)

Over the past nine months, I have learned a lot about what it takes to raise and train a puppy. I’ll admit, it’s a lot more work than I imagined. Surprisingly, some of the lessons have reminded me of some leadership best practices. Good leaders of teams have these skills. They use them to lead, direct and motivate their team.
