Horses respond to subtle communicative nuances (mind-set and behaviour), giving instant feedback and inviting immediate action. Within the herd, there is a harmonious structure of individuals that gets formed naturally – where each individual performs autonomously within the dynamics of the herd. This inspired Equoia to to have a solution-focused and innovative look at the set-up, management and functioning of organisations. Working towards “Connective Clarity” is a core component of agile organisations. This is brought about by “Unencumbered Communication^©”. Unencumbered Communication^© is a solution-focused leadership language in the broad sense: It encourages individuals to ensure greater clarity in the messages they communicate, which in turn leads towards constructive assertiveness. It helps bosses become leaders, and it encourages leaders to communicate more clearly and with greater awareness. It contributes to the establishment of an open feedback culture, and it helps ensure clear roles and responsibilities within teams.
