Law 42: Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter
- Trouble can be traced to a single individual
- These people will influence others
- Do not negotiate but banish them
- Strike at the source of the trouble
Trouble can often be traced to a single strong individual – the stirrer, the arrogant underling, the poisoned of goodwill. If you allow such people room to operate, others will succumb to their influence. Do not wait for the troubles they cause to multiply, do not try to negotiate with them – they are irredeemable. Neutralize their influence by isolating or banishing them. Strike at the source of the trouble and the sheep will scatter.
What can we learn from this law?
- Within any group, trouble can be traced to a single source, the unhappy, chronically unsatisfied one who stirs up dissension and infects the group. Recognize troublemakers by their complaining nature. Separate him from the group.
Remove toxic people from your life.
- In every group power is concentrated in the hands of one or two people. Human nature shows people will orbit around a single strong personality.
Most of the people are sheeps, waiting for their shepherd to lead them down the path.
