leadership summit: developing transforming leaders

LEADERSHIP SUMMIT

Robert Hargrove

What is Leadership

Let’s study leadership in the context of history,then in business.

Our traditional view of leadership is images of charismatic Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs who wield tremendous power & speak to people from on high.

In fact, genuine leadership has little to do with one’s position, and speaking to people from on high or dominating others.

Leaders are often ordinary people who dare to take a stand for needed change when leaders at the top have are stuck in defending their position or the status quo.

Transactional leadership is the everyday leadership needed to be a good steward or run the business

It involves reaching middle of the road goals and incremental change through making deals, bargains, and tradeoffs

Transforming leadership is the kind of leadership that alters the course of history

It involves raising the aspirations and motivations of followers

Leadership is mobilizing people toward a transforming vision consistent with

supreme and enduring values

Leadership without ethics and values is just mere technique

How do you develop leaders

A recent study shows...

Studying Leadership Competencies

Instead, start to think of leadership, not as a set of characteristics, but as

an ACTION you take

People are called to leadership by throbbing human needs and wants

There are certain moments that are “historic moments”

when it becomes possible for individuals to make a difference, resulting in the triumph of possibility over resignation

I never wanted to be an entrepreneur or business person. I wanted to do things I was proud of.

-Richard Branson

Become Your Own SeerYou can’t see new possibilities sitting behind your desk weighted down by corporate policy and industry orthodoxy.

Get up and travel outside your business, outside your industry.

The future belongs to people who see new possibilities before they become obvious and act on them.

-Mark Zuckerberg, CEO

Empathy

Ask yourself, where have all significant competitors in your

market gotten too lazy or lost touch with customers and

employees?” -Herb Kelleher, CEO

The voice of the customer has got to

be ringing in your ear

innovative business concepts, and creating a value network.

already have.

Mastering the Political Chessboard

7

You need to go for a big dream and make big decisions when you are

in a position of power and leverage.

You need to build coalitions and go for quick wins to build

credibility when you are not.

Brazil’s Lula da Silva

Following Your Own True North

It’s important to not bend your

values when you are under stress

and pressure.

If we can get the values lined up with

performance, then this is an absolutely

unbeatable company.–James McNerney,

Be a Multiplier vs. Diminisher

Multipliers make everyone around them feel smarter and more

capable.

My role is about unleashing what people already have inside them that is maybe suppressed in most work

environments.

Results DrivenI decided that I would go for a breakthrough that would seriously impact the stock price before my first 100 days was up.

I decided to use innovation and operational excellence to drive revenue growth and profit growth.

-Greg Goff, CEO, Tesoro, Fortune 500 oil company, doubled stock price in 6 months

The leader’s DNA Code is translated into specific learnable behavior

These leadership skills are intuitive. Yet when it comes to the actual practice, “doing them is counterintuitive.”

That’s because the corporate world “does not value these actions.”

Start by setting an Impossible Future for your company and asking each person to create an impossible goal.
