Vulnerable leadership
1. I lead with, not over.
2. I allow leadership to be shared.
3. I am a leader that follows.
4. I am a follower that leads.
5. I walk in vulnerability.
Philosophy on Leadership
I see a kind of seesaw or a line one end is higher than the other. We see the
‘over’ leader sitting at the top of the seesaw continually trying to maintain
himself at the high end of the line, he has too otherwise he will slide down the
line into the person sitting at the low end of the seesaw. The ‘over’ leader
spends so much time trying to stop himself sliding down that he barely sees
who is at the bottom. The only time he really knows about this other person is
when he has lost his energy to maintain himself at the top of the seesaw, and
lands right on top of the other person at the bottom end. The poor person
there is suffocated and stifled. He is scared to death. He was fine a minute
before and he knew where he was when he saw the man at the top of the line a
fare distance away. He always had his suspicion that the man would slip down
and hurt him by landing on him at the bottom. He was never going to try and
get up the line, too scary. Anyway there was always the possibility that the
man at the top would slid down and block the way. So he stayed at the bottom
in fear. And he at the top struggled to maintain his position which cost him his
energy. This is the philosophy of leadership.
