What Does Leadership Mean to You?
“To lead people walk behind them.”- Lao Tzu
What is leadership to us?
• Who you are as a person, not a title• The ability to influence• Being an ethical compass• Inspiration• Engaging diverse teams• Delivering on commitments• Innovation over time/affordably• Organized and deliberate
Leadership is Full Transparency
How you can demonstrate this:• Be clear about your leadership
philosophy• Communicate it and publish it with
your staff• Live it, when it is hard
Brevity and Consistency
How you can demonstrate this:• Being able to communicate clearly
and briefly• Communicate your value in addition
to your message• Being accessible • Valuing action and integrity
It isn’t About You
How you can demonstrate this:• Invest in others • Make your success dependent on the
success of others• Look for executives you can support (not
the other way around)• Give credit every chance you can rather
than taking it
What Leadership is Not• A title• Distancing, arrogant, or standing apart • A popularity contest or pleasing to others• Autocratic, directive, perfectionist and/or hypercritical• Separate from results and deadlines • Hypocritical• Complacent or overinvest in the status quo• Over-optimism about people, strategies, or tactics • Over-pessimism about people, strategies or tactics • Lacking emotional intelligence• Lacking clarity about impact on others
