selves, which include our strengths,

skills, prejudices, and talents, and arecognition of our unique giftsand

some of our limitations,"

(Matusak, 1997)

5/21

Core Personality

Accumulation of enduringphysical & mental

attributes

Result from the interaction of heredity &

environmental factors

All too often, leaders are blind to the obvious

when it comes to something of critical

importance to them their own personality.

- Rath & Conchie, 2008



6/21

Values

Values are the social principles, goals, orstandards held or accepted by an individual class,society, etc. (Websters dictionary)

Values are a broad tendency to prefer certainstates of affairs over others (Geert Hofstede"Culture's Consequences")

The principles we seek to live in accordance with.

Essential and enduring beliefs and principles notto be compromised for short-term gain orexpediency. (Collins and Porras "Built to Last")



7/21

Principles vs Practices

Practices are the whatto do's- specific

applications that fit specific circumstances.

Principles are the whyto do's- the elements

upon which applications or practices are built

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;

teach him how to fish and you feed him for a

lifetime."

Be a light, not a shadow.



8/21

Some examples of shadows

Insecurity - we identify ourselves with the

external, such as institutional identity or a

specific cultural role

Misperception- life is a battleground i.e. "wins

and losses," "do or die" tactics, and "allies and

enemies.

Fear - fear of the natural chaos of life, of

negative evaluation, of public failure



9/21

Four Levels, Four Principles

Personal level - my relationship with myself

Interpersonal level - my relationship andinteractions with others

Managerial - my responsibility to get a jobdone with others

Organizational - my need to organize people:

to recruit them, compensate them, buildteams, solve problems, and create strategiesand systems



10/21

Interpersonal trust

Trustworthiness is the foundation of trust

Why is trust important for effective

leadership?

Outcomes of trust in a relationship are clear

communication, empathy, synergy, and

productive interdependency.

12/21

Circle of Influence

revolves around trust

low trust= high control

high trust= low control with high trust, you don't have to supervise

because followers supervise themselves

circle of influence grows as we build moretrust because people are supervising

themselves

Business

Fine line between preparing people for

management and leadership

Growing need to ensure that business leaders

can be more than orators, but also more than

martinets (Doh, 2003)

Keen attention to bringing forth concepts of

ethics, decision-making, and critical thinking

1/24/2014




15/21

Community

Complex political scenarios play out in

communities everyday

-History and Tradition play havoc

Tools of facilitation, conflict resolution and co-

optation are important

Educational

Whether it is K-12 or another educationalprogram, there is intense scrutiny overdecisions made by leaders

Students need relevant introduction intoleadership in secondary school programs

Universities need to continue to focus on

programs, majors and activities whichreinforce concepts and academic instructionrelated to leadership

1/24/2014




17/21

Some questions

How will leadership be used to bridge

expansive polarization in today's society?

How can we further our understanding of

ethics in relation to leadership to solve many

of today's issues?

How will our understanding of leadership

identity development help us better teach

students?

Caveats on studying leadership

"Anyone who has attempted to lead will

understand that the act of leadership is

considerably more challenging than talking,

writing or seeing leadership all put together.There's no doubt that one can learn the most

about leadership from actually trying to lead."

19/21

Caveats on studying leadership

"The distinctive feature of leadership is that it

and want to learn."
