Lessons from the Maasai 3Rs

Stepping away from organizational complexity, Roddy Millar shares profound lessons on community function drawn from the Maasai.

Elders lead not by commanding, but by being observational and accessible. Discover how this collective mindset creates greater psychological safety, contrasting sharply with individualistic corporate models.
