The Wolfpack Way Framework: (Five Pillars of Leadership)
1. Regulation Before Redirection
You can’t redirect someone in survival.
First job = regulate, not fix or force.
Without regulation, redirection feels like rejection.
2. Co-Regulation Ritual
Humans regulate through connection.
Predictability, check-ins, calm tone, soft eyes.
Rituals (greetings, grounding, transitions) build trust before teaching.
3. Repair Practices
Conflict is inevitable → repair is essential.
Own your part, invite dialogue, model vulnerability.
Repair prevents unresolved ripples from lingering.
4. Leadership Through Presence
Leadership = holding discomfort, not controlling outcomes.
Presence sounds like → "I can handle your big emotions."
Breaks the power cycle → steady not overpowering.
5. Emerging Legacy Patterns
What you model becomes others' blueprint.
Ripple regulation → create a new generational legacy.
End inherited patterns and model a new path.
