At a Crossroads:
Choose the Leader You Want to Be
An Elder was teaching his grandson about life.
He said, “A fight is going on inside me,” he told the young boy, “a fight between two wolves.
One is guided by anger, jealousy, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego.
The other is guided by compassion, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, & truth
The same fight is going on inside you grandson and inside of every other person on the face of this earth.”
The grandson pondered this for a moment and then asked, “Grandfather, which wolf will win?”
The Elder smiled and simply said, “The one you feed”.
The wolf you feed shapes the leader you become.
Every day, you have a choice—feed old habits that breed confusion, frustration, division, and doubt, or lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Great leaders aren’t perfect, but they are intentional. They reflect, course-correct, and grow.
The First Step
Change begins with honest self-reflection. It’s easy to justify behaviors, lean into defensiveness, or double down on being “right.” But true leadership demands a willingness to be curious, and the courage to ask hard questions.
Feed the Right Wolf
The good news is that we are never stuck with outdated ways of leading. We can recognize when our patterns aren’t serving us or our teams and forge a better path. By feeding the wolf of clarity, connection, and accountability, we build trust and authenticity that propels both ourselves and our organizations forward.
At Good Wolf Leadership Coaching, we help you break free from limiting patterns and step into leadership that aligns with your values, vision, and innate wisdom—making intentional decisions rooted in self-awareness and guided by purpose.
