Why You Should Hire a Horse: Leadership Lessons from the Herd

By Nolan Strade

What Horses Teach Us About Leadership, Emotions, and Human Relationships
Can a horse be your best leadership teacher?

This book proves that it can - in a way grounded in real-world experience, not abstract theory.
"Why Hire a Horse" is a unique blend of horsemanship, behavioral psychology, non-verbal communication, and practical leadership in business and organizations. The author draws not only on many years of hands-on work with horses, but also on direct experience in running a company and managing teams and organizations, creating a credible and powerful bridge between the natural world and modern leadership challenges.
Horses do not respond to words. They respond to emotions, energy, consistency, and intention.
Exactly the same mechanisms govern how people function in teams, companies, and relationships.
