Do Not Call A Dog with a Whip in Your Hand

Sometimes people find 2×2 by asking a search engine what this means. It happens to be one of the many African proverbs we published on the subject of leadership.

But our PROVERBS page doesn’t explain it.

It means don’t expect the dog to come. Don’t expect any good to result. Don’t expect progress. It means your efforts are bullyish and give the illusion of power but are ultimately purpose-defeating.

We know from experience!
