The alpha wolves are not necessarily the strongest, the fastest, or the smartest. High rank has more to do with attitude and confidence than size or strength. Dominance also does not favor gender — either the alpha male or the alpha female may be the overall “leader of the pack”.

Eisler’s comprehensive research has identified a continuum of domination and partnership-oriented models and she is asked to speak on it widely.
