Editor's Notes
- NameWe are excited to present our topic, Leadership in a world of leaders…Catchy title huh? Very academic sounding and lofty…Let me tell you about the flow of the session we don’t want to stand infront of you and droan on for 50 minutes. We’ve designed this session in three parts. In the first part, I will droan on for a bit as we set the stage for our conversation and then discuss a model to help us create a leadership PhilosophyThen we will watch a video and in the second part we will do a large group activity around defferent leadership types and the last section is reflecting about the challeges on how to put theory in to practice.So lets dive right in huge beast called leadership.
- These people and those that you mentioned are definitely leaders. Personally it is hard to identify myself as a leader or think of myself as a real leader when this is the image I have in my head. Before us are fully formed leaders but to bring leadership down from its pedestal I’d like us to think about the individual journey, the leadership journey each person went on. Some of those journeys may have been easier than others. Some people found themselves, powerless, marginalized with little or no resources or formal training. It is this journey, your journey that I want us to think about. To help me do that I want to talk about a chapter from the Leadership Challange called the three stages of self expression
- Many of you may have read The leadership Challenge. If you haven’t I encourage you to. There is a section called The three stages of self expression. In it they tell a story about an outing in a gallery they had with an artist friend. At the end of a retrospective work Richard Diebenkorn their artist friend said.There are really three periods in an artist’s life. In the first period, we paint exterior landscapes. In the second, we paint interior landscapes. In the third, we paint our selves.”The authors liken that to leadership development
- In this room each of you are experiencing a different stage of your leadership journey. But no matter which stage you are in, In this first part of the presentation our goal is to help you develop or finesse your own leadership philosophy. We believe it is a foundation you need to have because it is where your leadership practice will flow from. And to help us do that, I want to briefly introduce the Relational Leadership Model
- How many of you are familiar with this model? It is an aspirationalModel or framework that can help us build our own leadership philosophy and help us work through a leadership process as a group. This is a simple representation of the model but the concepts are quite complex. I’m going to run through the essences of each of component and I would like you to consider how comfortable you are with each component think about them in the context of your own work environment or role. How do each of these play out? Is there a one component you do better than others. How can I improve my practice or that of the group.
- I realize I have been droaning on and now I would like us to watch a short clip about five minutes of Prof Linda Hill talk about these concepts, not by referencing therealtional leadership model but listen for the words like inclucive empowering purposeful process, creating context.
- In the second part we move from self to others. As we don’t lead in a vacuum it is absolutely necessary that we are able to create relationships with others. In this section we will do a large group activity that will help us be mindful the value and potential in others. It seems obvious but in this changing world of leaner teams and high pressure environments working collaboratively presents its own challenges depending on the context.
- Lastly we don’t want this to just be a philosophical workshop but also provide practical skills and tips on how to bridge gaps, confidently and effectively exercise leadership and authority during hard times whether in a position of authority or just one member of a group
- These people and those that you mentioned are definitely leaders. Personally it is hard to identify myself as a leader or think of myself as a real leader when this is the image I have in my head.
