The Rooster as a Symbol of Steadfastness

A rooster in Negros Occidental, especially during cockfighting events, is renowned for its posture. It stands confidently, chest out, eyes alert, yet often remains still. It doesn’t rush into a fight prematurely; instead, it waits with patience and readiness. Its stance communicates a quiet strength that commands respect and attention.

Leadership Analogy: The Power of Calm and Steady Leadership

Similarly, an effective leader can be likened to this rooster. Sometimes, leadership is not about rushing into action or making hasty decisions. It’s about standing firm and confident, observing the environment, assessing situations, and waiting for the right moment to act. A leader who remains steady, like the rooster in its roost, demonstrates:

1. Calm Confidence: Even without immediate action, the leader exudes assurance. Their composed demeanor reassures followers that decisions will be made at the right time.
2. Patience and Observation: The leader takes time to understand the nuances of the situation, gathering information before engaging.
3. Discipline and Self-Control: Like the rooster that resists unnecessary fights, a leader exercises restraint and avoids impulsive reactions.
4. Resilience and Readiness: Standing steadily symbolizes resilience. When the moment comes, the leader is prepared to take decisive action, just as the rooster is ready to defend its territory when necessary.

The Strength in Stillness

In leadership, sometimes “standing still” is the most powerful stance. It’s a demonstration of strength that doesn’t need to be loud or aggressive. It’s about being present, attentive, and prepared. Just as the rooster’s steady stance commands respect and signals readiness, a leader’s composed posture inspires confidence and trust among followers.

Like the gargantuan rooster standing silently in Talisay City at Campuestohan Highland Resort in Negros Occidental, an effective leader understands the value of patience, discipline, and steadfastness. Sometimes, leadership is not about immediate action but about standing firm, observing, and waiting for the right moment to lead decisively. Embracing this analogy can remind PGBI leaders that true strength often lies in calmness and resilience — qualities that allow them to face challenges with confidence and grace, just like the proud rooster standing tall in its place. – GSM
