THE LEADERSHIP
CHALLENGE Kouzes and Posner
“Based upon evidence collected from around the world and over decades, THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE
provides guidance on how to lead and inspiration to make the effort.”
—Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor, Stanford Business School,
Kouzes and Posner sug-
gest that “practice” is
what leadership is all
about. Their model, THE
FIVE PRACTICES OF
EFFECTIVE LEADER-
SHIP, is offered as a
guide for all modern day
leaders in all aspects of
administration. The au-
thors found, when re-
searching for their book,
that these five practices
were common among ex-
emplary leaders. This
book is meant to be used
as a tool by leaders to
guide others to reach
their maximum potential.
Kouzes and Posner warn,
however, that in order
to become an effective
guide for others one
must have their own
house in order first.
They suggest and offer
questions by which lead-
ers may challenge them-
selves as to their be-
liefs, practices and abili-
ties. Gayle Hamilton
speaks to this as she
says, ”You can’t follow
someone who isn’t credi-
ble, who doesn’t truly
believe what they are
doing-and how they are
doing it.” Gayle is head
of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company, one of
the many exemplary
leaders that the authors
have showcased in their
book. Each practice in
the book has with it nu-
merous examples of
leaders at their best.
Along with the Five
Practices, are the Ten
Commitments of Leader-
ship. These are offered
as time-tested strate-
gies through which lead-
ers attain their goals.
1. Find your voice by clarifying
your personal values.
2. Set the example by aligning
actions with shared values.
3. Envision the future by imag-
ining exciting and ennobling
possibilities.
4. Enlist others in a common
vision by appealing to shared
aspirations.
5. Search for opportunities by seeking innovative ways to grow,
change, and improve.
6. Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small
wins and learning from mistakes.
7. Foster collaboration by promoting cooperative goals and
building trust
8. Strengthen others by sharing power and discretion.
9. Recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individ-
ual excellence.
10. Celebrate the values and victories by creating a spirit of

themselves to the world. Only a few
unreasonable ones persist in trying to adapt the
world to themselves . All progress in the world
depends on these unreasonable men and their
new and often revolutionary actions.”

confidence and commitment

too high and therefore allowed mistakes as a part of the learning
process.
This has resulted in a trusting leadership style.
Daring coupled with persistence would lead to perfection.
He was a transformational and supportive leader who focused on
learning even if the efforts of his team members were successful or
not.

instructions in terms of giving handwritten notes to colleagues and
asking them to give definite action within 5 or 10 days.

week.
A good leader according to him is as good as the commitment and
participation that he receives from his team this shows his connective
leadership style.
He used to observe his colleagues constantly to see if they had the
willingness to experiment constantly . He listened to anyone who
showed the slightest promise
15. Dr. Kalam’s mentor Prof. Sarabhai taught him patience. He adopted a
connective style with a humanistic approach, wherein even when the
nose cone jettisioned late, there was no reproach from his side.
He put his finger on the key aspect of the problem and re-defined
there tasks.
16. Kalam learned from a visionary like Prof. Sarabhai that a leader could
use errors to encourage new ideas. The best way to prevent errors is
to avoid them.
Prof. Kalam was supportive and used connective and inspirational
leadership style who recognised the contributions of his team
members in various ways to the design of projects like SLV-3 and this
instilled confidence in his team members to perform with authority.
Lastly, Kalam learnt from Prof. Sarabhai, humanistic leadership style
in which he backed and supported Kalam when he was questioned
about his role as the project manager. This gave Kalam the much
needed confidence and increased his loyalty towards his leader.
