Simple Set of Fundamental Truths
Leaders always create (and need) change
Leaders always create (and need) followers
Leaders have a rock-solid value system, which is congruent with their followers
Leaders and Change
Without a need for change, leadership is meaningless.
Leadership is a practical activity with a specific goal.
Leaders and Followers
Leaders can’t do it alone!
It is the job of the leaders to encourage people to get things done.
Leadership varies by situation.
Everyone can train, develop and enhance their leadership skills.
Leaders and Values
Must have a thorough understanding of the follower’s needs, aspirations, and concerns
Must understand and then communicate their own value system
Balance and synchronization are needed with the leaders, members, community members, etc.
Ideas
A thought to be presented as a suggestion
A thought about or mental picture of something such as a future or possible event
A realization of a possible way of doing something or of something to be done

The accepted principles of standards of a group of individual
Ideas lead to values eventually, if they are big enough
Ideas motivate people, but values tie them together

Our Leadership Definition
“Leadership is the energetic process of getting other people fully and willingly
committed to a new and sustainable course of action, to meet commonly
agreed objectives whilst having commonly held values”
Back to The 4 E’s of Leadership
Let’s look at these in terms of operational parameters and
organizational issues
Envision
Starts with vision, then developing a plan to achieve it
Based on assessment, as well as intuition, hope, and fear
Must take culture of organization into account to be successful
Internal Culture Envision
Mission and
Goals
Strategies and
Choices
Envision: The Beginning of the Growing Grid
Enable
Decide what tools, technologies, or methods will be used to enable the objectives
Decide if the right processes, structure, people, and skills are in place
Remember that leadership is the key. Serendipity and chaos are not usually enablers, except for the briefest moments

Enable: The Growing Grid Continues
Empower
There is a “deal” between the leader and the followers – a contract for success
Both are given mutual freedom and are held mutually accountable
“You deliver this, and I deliver that. You will get more space, the better you do. The more I meet your needs, the stronger Leadership position I will be in. Together we will better be able to accelerate the changes we have agreed to make.”

Empower: Another Step Toward Growth!
Energize!
The leader must energize the organization to act, but this “energizing” step is also very personal to each member
Members will most likely feel energized by a sense of “winning” and achieving a sense of personal success and satisfaction
The more energy the team generates, the more energy the leader has – it’s a virtuous circle of reinforcement!
