BYU Engineering Leadership
Trait Versus Process Trait (born)
Height Intelligence Extroversion Fluency Communication Self-confidence Insight
Process (made) Influence Development Concern for others Concern for task Learning Persistence Interaction with
followers
Integrative Nature of Leadership A leader must:
Be competent (technically): But as important they must also:
Be humble Be of high moral character Live by a demanding ethic Be mindful of individuals and broadly aware of the world condition Have the ability to think innovatively about opportunities and solutions Constantly learning and renewing Have faith
Leadership is a broadly described, but integrated application of character, innovation, integrity, competence and other characteristics and skills.
Assumptions of Leadership Incorrect
Management is leadership The greatest characteristic is
vision Thrives on stability and
structure Leaders are born not made Focus on metrics as the
outcome
Correct The primary work of
leadership is building people (my work and glory)
Leadership is comprehensive (learn of kingdoms, countries, principalities and powers)
It is evidenced in many different ways (diversity of administration)
Can be learned Focus on people as the
outcome
Management versus Leadership Managers focus on accomplishing things using people
Leaders focus on building people who then accomplish great things
For managers the task is the end, for leaders the task is the vehicle
Mindset “I’m not fixing a tractor, I am raising a son.” It is all about building people. (Moses 1:39)
Elements of the Basic Theory
Leadership occurs only in a context Must be practiced somewhere and somehow Domains = home, church, work, society, class, project,
etc. Fundamentals are common Simulations and analysis are interesting but of little
value without practice or application
Good to Great theory

What Happens If We Have a Mismatch of Style With Development Level?
What About You?
What type of follower do you want to be?
What type of leader will you become?
How will that happen?
What about you?
What are your God-given characteristics? How much do you really know about yourself? What are your blind spots? Use 360 instruments, honest self-evaluation, etc. Read, ponder, observe, practice, then . . . Read more, ponder more, observe more and
practice more.
