Leadership and country development are complex issues with no single right approach. Top-down planned development and outside-in globalization are criticized for not respecting local strengths and traditions, preventing indigenous growth. True development comes from within by fostering leaders and enterprises organically through cooperative and networked approaches that build pride and dignity. Countries and their people develop most successfully when balancing internal strengths with outside influences, not through imposition but through empowering local strengths, traditions, and autonomy.

2. “We develop leaders. And we develop countries. So we believe.
We also believe that we develop countries by developing leaders.
Perhaps we need to develop our thinking.”

3. Do we really “develop” leaders?

4. Leadership Styles

5. Heroic Leadership
• Prevalent in the US;
• Turn around dramatically by firing much of its staff;
• Managers are important people (apart from orthers);
• Chief X (Most) Others >> Outsiders must be favored;
• Rewards for increasing performance go to the
leadership;
• Low honesty and moral courage.
Engaging Leadership
• True leaders: Status earned from the respect of others;
• Engage others with their thoughfulness and humility;
• Engaged in what they are doing (no personal gain);
• Brings out the energy naturally (people);
• Enable other people to act heroically;
• Organization is an interacting network;
• Implementation = Formulation (organic);
• Rewards go to everyone

6. Why good leaders
make you feel safe
by Simon Sinek

7. Kofi Annan
• First career employee to head up the U.N.;
• Enganges staff rather than intimidate them;
• He listens and brings people together;
• Re-elected by nations (rich and poor) + staff.

8. “And the key (...) has to be the self-respect that derives from
working things out ourselves, individually and collectively. And
that, in turn, is fostered by organizations that can likewise stand
on their own feet and fin their own ways of doing things,
building on the best of their own cultural traditions.”

9. Globalization. Globalization certainly develops the “global”
corporations of the wealthy world. But
does it develop the poor countries of the
developing one? Or is this just another form
of outside exploitation? Is it, therefore,
time for indigenous development
of countries and leaders alike?

14. “(...) globalization does not build on a country’s unique
strengths, does not respect its social traditions, does not
allow the autonomy necessary to grow indigenous leaders
and enterprises. (...) it is forced development, imposed
agains the natural inclinations and even will of the people.”

15. Pride.
Dignity.
Corresponding Confidence.
They cannot be measured. But they figure prominetly in just every story of success,
wheter of countries or leaders. How people feel about themselves, personally and
collectively, influences the energy with which they develop themselves.

We also believe that we develop countries by developing
leaders. Perhaps we need to develop our thinking.
But does anyone has any interest in this change?”

27. Developing Leaders
1. Leadership can be FOSTERED - much like economic development;
2. PEOPLE can be developed - not as leaders, but as human beings;
3. We can develop MANAGERIAL PRACTICE, intrinsic to leadership.
