Wiley, summarizes the textbook chapter to Enlist Others as noted below:
Enlist Others
The authors relate the story of a leader who discovered how essential it is to find out what motivates his team members. He says that the more you know about the people you work with, the more committed you become to each other’s success and the more you realize that you have similar hopes and aspirations for what you are working on. A company is like an engine: “We cannot move forward if any of the cogs are not working.”
Develop A Shared Sense Of Destiny
A leader’s vision is not enough. Members of the organization must understand, accept, and commit to it. Leadership is a dialogue, not a monologue. Leaders must engage constituents in conversations about their lives, hopes, and dreams, to develop a shared sense of destiny, an ideal and unique image of the future for the common good.
Inspire a Shared Vision is the least frequently applied of The Five Practices—people feel the most uncomfortable with it, and only one in ten considers herself inspiring. Yet even when they do not consider themselves inspiring, people nearly always become emotionally expressive when talking about their visions of the future.
The assumption that the process of inspiring a shared vision is somehow mystical or supernatural inhibits people, making them feel that they have to be something special to be inspiring. But what is necessary is believing in the vision and developing the skills for communicating it with commitment and enthusiasm, just as Martin Luther King did on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963.
To inspire their audience as Dr. King did, leaders need to practice three essentials to Enlist Others: Listen deeply, discover and appeal to a common purpose, and give life to their vision by communicating expressively.
Listen Deeply to Others
Leaders need to strengthen their ability to sense the purpose in others. By knowing their constituents, listening to them, and taking their advice, they can give voice to their feelings and show them how their own needs and interests will be served by enlisting in a common cause. Listening is crucial because leaders can’t do it alone—they don’t have all the ideas or all the answers.
A key characteristic of leaders who won the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige award is impressive listening skills. Leaders listen carefully for quiet whisperings and subtle cues that give them a sense of what people want, dream about, and value.
To truly hear what constituents want means spending unstructured time--having coffee, breakfast, lunch, breaks--with constituent groups to find out what’s going on with them and what they hope to achieve fr.
The purpose of this Book is to clear the misunderstanding of many Leaders in the corporate world. Those who believed and lived with the notions that best leaders are meant for the Corporate World and evolution of good leadership is in the world of business; I would want them to have a rethink as I explained the social and societal evolution of good leadership that has impacted the corporate world today. Please come along with me to some historical contextual truth derived from this concept of leadership. This book will deal with styles and concepts of leadership and help to build your understanding as to what is needed to be good leaders in Society. From Chapter to Chapter you will see the chronological order of leaders’ leadership and duty requires of them for better Society, Nations and the World at large.
When people talk about leadership, they mostly want to learn how to be good leaders at work. Leadership in the corporate context is one of the hottest topics in the world, and everyone wants to learn how to become a billionaire and be the best possible boss. However, leadership is not just limited to the work frontier; it extends to all of society. In fact, leadership began as a societal phenomenon much before it evolved into a professional one. In fact, many of the present-day leadership qualities that corporate and professional leaders aspire to are based on the social and political leaders of the yesteryears.
Human beings are social animals and living together in large groups naturally meant that people needed to adopt different roles and accomplish different groups. In order to give structure to society and help society grow and develop, people were naturally divided into leaders and followers. The leaders paved the way and moved from one frontier to another, directing the others, while the followers completed the tasks assigned to them and helped bring the changes about.

Post #1
Charismatic leaders are essentially very skilled communicators. They understand how to verbally express their thoughts and ideas to their followers on a deep, emotional level. They are able to articulate a compelling or captivating vision, and are able to arouse strong emotions in followers. Charisma is what helps leaders gain the love and support of their followers. They understand how to “work the room” while giving a speech. They pay much attention to the person they are talking to at any one moment, making that person feel like they are, for that time, the most important person in the world. Charismatic Leaders pay a great deal of attention in scanning and reading their environment, and are good at picking up the moods and concerns of both individuals and larger audiences. They then will hone their actions and words to suit the situation.
With communication being a prime trait for the charismatic leader, one way to develop this skill in through practice with public speaking. For example, charismatic leaders such as Obama or Martin Luther King Jr. were masters of public speaking. This is because leadership is a public act. Individuals have to be comfortable standing in front of large or small audiences and speaking with knowledge as well as conviction. This may take some time to practice and develop, especially for individuals who are introverted or have anxiety for public speaking. There are several communication training courses that can help sharpen the skill of public speaking but I believe that the most skill will come from getting comfortable with providing speeches. The more experience one gains from delivering speeches will help to build individual style.

Charisma “the ability to communicate a clear, visionary, and inspirational message that captivates and motivates an audience” (Antonakis, Feneley, & Liechti 2012, p. 127). It is important to leadership because as a leader you should be able to persuade others, be able to use powerful and reasoned rhetoric, establish personal and moral credibility, and then rouse followers’ emotions and passions. “If a leader can do those three things well, he or she can then tap into the hopes and ideals of followers, give them a sense of purpose and inspire them to achieve great things” (Antonakis, et al, 2012, p. 127). I do agree that charisma can be learned, to some, charisma is something that comes easy to them due to their personality, they are extroverts, however to those who are introverts and being charismatic does not come naturally, the trait can be learned through the right training. This has been studied by Antonakis, et al, 2012, who trained leaders on charismatic leade.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

What do servant leaders do? devote themselves to serving the needs of organization members. focus on meeting the needs of those they lead. develop employees to bring out the best in them. coach others and encourage their self expression. facilitate personal growth in all who work with them. listen and build a sense of community.
10. Define Servant Leadership The servant leader is servant first.. .It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. A servant leader loves people, and want to help them which gives him meaning and satisfaction in life. The mission is to identify and meet the needs of others.

Ten Characteristics: Listening, Empathy, Healing, Awareness, Persuasion, Conceptualization, Foresight, Stewardship, Commitment to the growth of people, and Building community.
12. Stewardship Peter Block; Stewardship is the willingness to be accountable for the well-being of the larger organization by operating in service, rather than in control, of around us. Stewardship involves partnership rather than patriarchy, and empowerment instead dependency. Servant Leaders tend to be self reliant, yet committed to organizational goals.
13. Power Model Vs Service Model Power model; Leader first, SM; servant First SM; is both moral and effective. PM; How to accumulate and wield power, how to make people do things, how to attack and win PM ; Power is an end in itself, success or victory in terms who gains more power, not in terms of who accomplishes the most for his or her organization or community.
14. PM Vs SM For servant leaders power is only a tool. Servant leader knows that power is only means, not an end. James Autry wrote: …True power comes from people. It comes from gaining the trust and support of the people who then give you the power. Power is like love. The more you try to give it to others, the more it just seems flow to you naturally. For Servant Leaders power is only a gift.
15. Servant Leaders….. They are focused on the work, not the credit. They will not use organizational change as the excuse for building their own power and position. Serving each other requires LOVE. Love begins with one absolute condition; Unlimited Liability The build community capacity and group empowerment.
16. Servant Leaders build their communities by; Encourage participation and build consensus. Creating a community of leaders Generating a shared vision Using cultural effective communication Weaving partnerships and connections The power model is about grabbing. The service mode is about giving
