Editor's Notes
- – we have the lists and the lists of skills and abilities, attributes and knowledge, we have the tee shirts, the mugs and the medals - but what changes the behaviours? What moves the energy of others? What is the authenticity others feel? What generates the trust OF others FOR others??? What drives, challenges and motivates? Do not forget - Great Leadership works – up, down and sideways!! Someone has to supply a place to stand! Later I shall endeavour to answer this!
- This slide attempts to show the origins of behaviour and why we should change our educational and training aspirations from SKUA to AUKS! Only when these are present can we put the skills and knowledge, the understandings into place with the confidence it will find a place to stay.
- And so with this we can look at what might be a hierarchy of values. Of the many things I note about this list is that it has leadership well down [3 rd level] and many traditional ‘attributes of leadership ‘ scattered throughout – and many would be fiercely argued in any case! [derived from our work with the UN last year where 88 countries across 5 continents were asked to contribute]
- So what are the energies you find in / or for your leadership? – what drivers have you? Are there common ones? Are they internal? Are they external? Are they always consistent with your values? What happens if they are not?
- MAO – & [the less certain] gene analysis. The former is a glandular secretion which, like most other bodily chemicals, has minimum and maximum or a ‘homeostasis’ – which we will seek to maintain. In this little beauty’s reportoire is the ability to raise and lower one’s contentedness with risk. … .so expect to be tempted – to drive faster on boring motorways, to challenge, to take new routes, to force adventure…so we have to ask “Is there any risk attached to Leadership?’ If yes, then we have a physiological pre-disposition. … or we may simply say for some, or perhaps sometimes….both have their calls on the origins or foundations of leadership. Now let us look at the Sociological Leader
- I do not want to dwell on all these things…. they offer few riches in our search for the origins of the balanced leader, but they still exist as potential origins for leadership to manifest itself – and leadership can be at the same time flawed and powerful, of course. These are the situational leaderships – where circumstances make the running. We all know them – the hero, the insecure, the greatest, the ‘Type A’ personality – we may find them right, in the right circumstances. But I want to move on to the another very fertile area – Our work with the Campaign for Adventure!
- Who have we here – Sir Christain Bonington, of course, Also Derek Wyatt, MP Julian Brazier TD MP Lembit Opik MP Co Chairs of the APPG on Adventure. They are supporting the recreation of a balanced attitude to risk and adventure in society. And we also have:
- Who have we here – Digby Jones Director General of the CBI He is supporting the recreation of a balanced attitude to risk and adventure in society. And we also have:
- Professor Samptkumar of the UNESCO project on youth leadership which has a special focus on values Libby Purves – educator, presenter, writer etc – Midweek on radio 4 Jonathan Ball – Architect Eden project & The Great Atlantic Way Visionaries, fighters, leaders….what else do we expect to find in their deepest selves – their origins?? Now I want to offer you 16 parameters of the true leader – ‘The Origins of Leadership’ You will note they stem from a fusion of what I have covered – Values, Society, physiology, and so on…but more than this, they stem from a meta analysis of Healthy Adventurers – those people who have not been afraid to do, to stand alone, to move others, to have visions and to be there upon their realisation. ….at the end. And so to the 16:
- Leadership – the higher personality – true self leadership Whom comes to mind? Ghandi? Churchill? ? ? Remember – up/down/alongside/on your behalf – you must want their leadership if they are to lead…and so to a
- definition of Leadership – Which originates, or has as its foundation the following 16 traits:
