Understand the Model

The Five Roles Model was developed by Linda Kohanov as a result of multi-disciplinary research and observation of horses.

Our work uses Linda Kohanov’s Master Herder model. The model is based on 5 roles: the dominant, leader, predator, sentinel and nurturer/companion. We all demonstrate aspects of each role but many of us over-emphasise a certain role which often leads to negative consequences. Each role has its benefits and challenges, understanding the roles and learning how to use each one effectively produces a balanced leader and team player. The model also discusses predatory vs non-predatory power and how to shift spaces into socially intelligent co-creative environments effectively using power. The whole model is very much influenced by the behaviour of horses and herd dynamics and is the result of multi-disciplinary study and research.

Five Roles Leadership is about improving relationships

Five Roles Leadership will assist with the development of key skills that will empower you to become a balanced team player. We’ve all experienced the stress and chaos caused by broken or dysfunctional relationships, and many of us just don’t know what to do about group conflict. With the right tools we can approach conflict in a productive way, we can learn from it and use it to spearhead change and development. The horses are a unique feature that add an experiential element to the learning process.

A Leadership model for the future

Relationships continue to drive business, now more than ever with the expanded connectivity of our digital world we need sophisticated skills to work together.

Team harmony is the dream of every leader. A functional team is essential for the success of any business venture, yet many of us struggle with our peers or colleagues. Interpersonal conflict drains important energy and resources and often leads to stress and illness. Five Roles Leadership seeks to illuminate several behaviours and offers effective tools for mastering yourself and others especially during those particularly trying moments.
