Abstract
This paper throws light on equine-assisted learning or which may also be called “horse whispering” and considers the results of human–animal interactions which can act as a tool for the development and improvement of one self. Through this human– animal interaction, the paper presents three Lacanian concepts of subjectivity, desire, and fantasy in determining the fractured relationship between self and other which may also be portrayed as the leader–follower relations. Organizations are struggling hard to meet the needs of the Millennials. Managers are thus facing the problems in building relationships with Millennial employees and fully understanding which motivating factors affect them and their work. Special training focusing on the Millennials can help the leaders to work with Millennials in a more effective manner which in turn can increase retention rates for organizations, reducing the costs as well as increasing the loyalty among them.
