A leader who doesn't understand a situation defaults to force, which triggers resistance. Real leadership comes from knowledge and presence. The speaker uses a horse metaphor to show how staying attuned to the moment, overcoming fear, and recognizing small progress creates transformation instead.

And another sort of great comment he makes is that force comes in when knowledge runs out. So think about that. Force comes in when knowledge runs out. Like, if you don't know what to do, you don't know how to handle a situation, you think, I'm the leader, I'm going to rah rah and force this stuff. It's like, no, that's— force will create that equal and opposite reaction. So it's sort of this notion of awareness of the horse, being present, overcoming fear, encouragement, acknowledging every small step.
