The Proverb says: “When a gorilla is in power, the monkeys are happy"

When thinking about a strong leader, most people imagine a charismatic or powerful individual. However, in gorilla society, the true mark of a successful leader is the happiness and well-being of their followers. A "silverback" gorilla in power will protect and provide for his group of monkeys, ensuring they have enough to eat and keeping them safe from danger. In turn, the monkeys show respect and loyalty to their leader through grooming and submissive gestures. While there may be periods of tension and aggression between rival gorillas vying for power, overall the troop thrives under a strong leader. So next time you see a group of monkeys cheerfully swinging through trees, it's likely thanks to their wise and benevolent gorilla leader.
