Jossey-Bass ReaderChapter 2 OutlineThe Nature of Leadership
The Nature of Leadership John W. Gardner   “Leadership is the process of persuasion or example by which an individual (or leadership team) induces a group to pursue objectives held by the leader or shared by the leader, and his or her followers”
Let’s not confuse…. leadership with status leadership with power (many people with power are without leadership gifts) leadership with official authority
Leaders and leader/managers distinguish themselves in at least six respects
1. They think longer term Beyond the day’s crises, beyond the quarterly report, beyond the horizon. They are strategic planners, seeing the way things can be.
2. They examine global trends  In thinking about the school they head, they grasp its relationship to larger realities. They see and relate to the larger organization of which they are a part; they remain aware of their surroundings and the conditions external to the school.
3. They reach and influence constituents      beyond their jurisdictions, beyond the walls of the school house. This capacity allows leaders to rise above jurisdictions and enables them to bind together the fragmented constituencies that must work together to solve a problem. The ability to bring diverse groups of people representing different issues together remains a critical leadership skill.
4. They put heavy emphasis  on the intangibles of vision, values, and motivation.They understand intuitively the non-rational and unconscious elements in the leader-constituent interaction.
5. They have political skill to cope with the conflicting requirements of multiple constituencies.
6. They think in terms of renewal They seek the revisions of process by ever-changing reality. They desire and seek continuous improvements from themselves, their school, and their staff.
Leaders must institutionalize their leadership, and chose a leadership team based on excellence in performance.
