OUTSTANDING
LEADERSHIP
E. Describe the most outstanding leader you have worked with. Indicate

some aspects of the way you work that are similar to the way this leader

works and others that are different.
What is Leadership?
•   Leadership has been described as “a process of social influence
    in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in
    the accomplishment of a common task". Other in-depth
    definitions of leadership have also emerged.*

     – Leadership is "organizing a group of people to achieve a
       common goal". The leader may or may not have any
       formal authority.

     – Studies of leadership have produced theories involving
       traits, situational interaction, function, behavior, power,
       vision and values, charisma, and intelligence among
       others. Somebody whom people follow: Somebody who
       guides or directs others. Try to use words that will help
       direct the growth of your company, but be as concise as
       possible.

Why My 1st Manager Is A
Leader?

                         Implement
                        Organizational
                          Strategy




          Formulate
         Strategy for
        Implementing
           Mission



                                      Established
                                 Organizational Mission
What I learned from him
•   Think systemically and act long term

•   Grow people through performance

•   Self-aware and authentic to leadership first, with own needs
    second

•   Give time and space to others

•   Put ‘we’ before ‘me’
What I Am Doing Different

•   Bring meaning to life

•   Apply the spirit not the letter of the law

•   Understand that talk is work

•   Take deeper breaths and hold them longer
Finally…
Leadership is a combination of character and competence, of who
you are and what you can do.

I find an emotional connection for people; they focus on passion and on ethical purpose.Apply the spirit not the letter of the lawI focus on the few key systems and processes which help. The staff adheres to the practices that provide clarity, while I give people structure, provide the opportunity for feedback, give time for discussion and enable the crafting and honing of vision. I am trying to keep in mind the person and will put flexibility and humanity before the consistent application of rules.Understand that talk is workOutstanding leadership depends on trusting and positive relationships that are built over time for the long-term benefit of the people and their organization. I recognize the importance of finding opportunities for dialogue with my colleagues at every turn, using them to discover individuals and nurture social capital. Take deeper breaths and hold them longerI try to implement trust at all levels in organizations. I understand the power of trust to act as the oil in the organizational system – how it speeds up interactions,enables people to take risks, diminishes arguments and disputes and underpins innovation.My aim in my environment is to demonstrate trust in others by liberating them to do so and by ‘holding’ the element of risk involved.
