THE CHANGING NATURE OF LEADERSHIP Jeffrey A. Malakoff
SESSION OVERVIEW This session is about leadership education and the changing nature of leadership in the current and foreseeable economic environment. It does not pretend to “teach” students to become Leaders. Only the students can teach themselves to become Leaders through self-assessment, personal development, continuous learning, practice and experience.  Rather, this session, is intended to provide a foundation for that career-long effort by students relative to “what” Leadership is and “what” it requires from the Leader, “why” it is important and “when” it is useful and how they can develop themselves into Leaders in these uncertain and challenging economic times.

THE NEED FOR LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP “ One of the most universal cravings of our time is a hunger for compelling and creative leadership.”   James MacGregor Burns, historian and presidential scholar, in his book “Leadership”   “ We need leaders in every field, in every institution, in all kinds of situations.  We need to be educating our young people to be   leaders.  And unfortunately, that has fallen out of fashion.”   David McCullough, Historian

TYPES OF LEADERSHIP STYLES ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Martha Stewart Martha Stewart built her empire with personal attention to each and every detail.  Whether you like her or not, she was meticulous and demanding.  She was also very successful in her endeavors and in using her autocratic management style. Many industry analysts might argue that it was Martha's autocratically demanding style that allowed her to flourish in such a competitive environment as the entertainment industry.  Others might argue that even more success might have awaited Martha Stewart if she had not relied so heavily on the autocratic style

Eisenhower   As a military leader Eisenhower was faced with the difficult task of getting the Alliance forces to agree on a common strategy.  Eisenhower worked hard to make sure everyone worked together to come to a common understanding.  This was one of his greatest achievements.  It was here that the democratic leadership style and collaborative efforts of Eisenhower shone through and with a victory of the Alliance forces to help back up the correctness of the approach.

  1. Model the Way Leaders establish principles concerning the way people (constituents, peers, colleagues, and customers alike) should be treated and the way goals should be pursued. They create standards of excellence and then set an example for others to follow. Because the prospect of complex change can overwhelm people and stifle action, they set interim goals so that people can achieve small wins as they work toward larger objectives. They unravel bureaucracy when it impedes action; they put up signposts when people are unsure of where to go or how to get there; and they create opportunities for victory. Inspire a Shared Vision Leaders passionately believe that they can make a difference. They envision the future, creating an ideal and unique image of what the organization can become. Through their magnetism and quiet persuasion, leaders enlist others in their dreams. They breathe life into their visions and get people to see exciting possibilities for the future. Challenge the Process Leaders search for opportunities to change the status quo. They look for innovative ways to improve the organization. In doing so, they experiment and take risks. And because leaders know that risk taking involves mistakes and failures, they accept the inevitable disappointments as learning opportunities. Enable Others to Act Leaders foster collaboration and build spirited teams. They actively involve others. Leaders understand that mutual respect is what sustains extraordinary efforts; they strive to create an atmosphere of trust and human dignity. They strengthen others, making each person feel capable and powerful. Encourage the Heart Accomplishing extraordinary things in organizations is hard work. To keep hope and determination alive, leaders recognize contributions that individuals make. In every winning team, the members need to share in the rewards of their efforts, so leaders celebrate accomplishments. They make people feel like heroes.
