Shepherding

Shepherding is a metaphoric term often used to describe guiding, mentoring, or overseeing a group or individual with care and responsibility. It involves providing direction, support, and protection to help others succeed or stay on a meaningful path. Similar to how a shepherd tends to sheep by guiding and safeguarding them, a shepherding approach in any context emphasizes leadership built on trust, attentiveness, and fostering growth or well-being. It’s about guiding with compassion and ensuring the collective or individual reaches their goals safely and effectively.
