Senator howard baker likened his job as majority leader to that of herding cats what does that mean

Senator Howard Baker likened his job to that of a herding cat not because he thought leadership could not be carried out successfully but because he thought as a leader, one had to understand the institution as a whole and the personalities of the individual members he governed. 

It is hard to herd cats, so Baker used an analogy to show that it takes a skilled person to be effective in gathering all the party members and colleagues to hear and be on one accord.

Explanation:

if interdependence implies a two-way dependence, and if each partner is equally dependent on the other for success, then there is an equal commitment to the making the partnership successful. the advantage is sustainability of the relationship, the disadvantage is that decisions are "democratic" and therefore may take longer to reach and more likely to be a compromise (which is not always the best solution). as the interdependence moves away from equality, the decisions become more influenced by the more independent partner. in the extreme the relationship becomes more dictatorial and more like "master-slave". generally the relationship has less commitment in both directions and is more likely to be temporary.

if one generalizes (and one shouldn't), equity partnerships, which is probably what is implied by interdependence, can be slow to progress or change but durable. the extreme alternative, independent-dependent partnerships tend to be efficient but more fragile.

hope this but you will have to site your own evidence. : )
