Shamanic Totem Appearance – Lion (leadership)

Lion says to you: “Be bold and take a position of leadership. People need you!”

The spirit of the Lion, as King of the animals, is the quintessential image of leadership.  The Lion is saying to you that it is now your time to take a leadership position!  A real leader is not just a dictator imposing his views on others.  A real leader is a central point, a coordinator and a facilitator who understands the strengths and weaknesses of everyone.  He can then assign roles, depending on the skills of each individual, allowing everyone to express their unique talents.  Being a leader requires empathy, humility and common sense because “the needs of the Many outweigh the needs of the one”.  You have all those qualities, so don’t be shy.  It’s your time to accept your full potential as a leader.
