What Staying with Headhunters Taught Me about Leaders Keeping their Heads

Joni Carley

May 11 2011



Staying in the Amazon with the Shuar, a tribe of headhunters in the Ecuadorian jungle, taught me some valuable lessons about effective leadership. In this episode, I'm sharing about how to capitalize on what warriors have known throughout the ages and throughout many cultures.

The Shuar warriors are fierce and always ready but they're also fun and loving family men. They know how to capitalize on strengths that we don't even think about. But that special energy they've mastered is available to everyone. Listen in to hear how it works.

These secrets will not only help you build your own resources up but also help you eliminate entropy. Entropy is energy that isn't channeled toward accomplishing your mission which translates into lost resources of time, talent and money. Stop losses while you're building up and you'll naturally get ahead.

The Shuar are threatened by jaguars, literally. But all leaders have their figurative jaguars. Learn what headhunting reveals about how to not only relieve yourself of your "jaguars," but actually shift the "jaguar" energy into greater vitality for you and your employees.
