THE LEADERSHIP
CHALLENGE Kouzes and Posner
“Based upon evidence collected from around the world and over
decades, THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE
provides guidance on how to lead and inspiration to make the
effort.”
—Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor, Stanford Business
School,
Kouzes and Posner sug-
gest that “practice” is
what leadership is all
about. Their model, THE
FIVE PRACTICES OF
EFFECTIVE LEADER-
SHIP, is offered as a
guide for all modern day
leaders in all aspects of
administration. The au-
thors found, when re-
searching for their book,
that these five practices
were common among ex-
emplary leaders. This
book is meant to be used
as a tool by leaders to
guide others to reach
their maximum potential.
Kouzes and Posner warn,
however, that in order
to become an effective
guide for others one
must have their own
house in order first.
They suggest and offer
questions by which lead-
ers may challenge them-
selves as to their be-
liefs, practices and abili-
ties. Gayle Hamilton
speaks to this as she
says, ”You can’t follow
someone who isn’t credi-
ble, who doesn’t truly
believe what they are
doing-and how they are
doing it.” Gayle is head
of the Pacific Gas and
Electric Company, one of
the many exemplary
leaders that the authors
have showcased in their
book. Each practice in
the book has with it nu-
merous examples of
leaders at their best.
Along with the Five
Practices, are the Ten
Commitments of Leader-
ship. These are offered
as time-tested strate-
gies through which lead-
ers attain their goals.
1. Find your voice by clarifying
your personal values.
2. Set the example by aligning
actions with shared values.
3. Envision the future by imag-
ining exciting and ennobling
possibilities.
4. Enlist others in a common
vision by appealing to shared
aspirations.
5. Search for opportunities by seeking innovative ways to grow,
change, and improve.
6. Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small
wins and learning from mistakes.
7. Foster collaboration by promoting cooperative goals and
building trust
8. Strengthen others by sharing power and discretion.
9. Recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individ-
ual excellence.
10. Celebrate the values and victories by creating a spirit of

Very simply put-”YOU MUST LEAD
FROM WHAT YOU BELIEVE.” (Alan
Keith) This statement sums up the whole
model of the Five Practices. If you do
not truly believe in what you
are telling your staff, or you do
not model behaviors that you
wish your staff to portray, how
can you possibly hope to have
people who believe and trust
enough in you to follow your
leadership? The old adage,
“actions speak louder than
words”, is never truer than when dealing
with people. If you hope to be a suc-
cessful leader in whatever profession,
you must lead by example-Model the
Way. In order to be
able to model, one must
have a clear vision of what
is needed and of what the
end result will be. You
must be able to get that
vision from idea stage to
one where others see it as
well-Inspire a Shared
Vision. Leaders must be able to take
risks and do everything that they would
ask others to do, whether it is mopping
a spill on the floor to learning a new
skill-Challenge the Process. Leader-
ship is not a singular process but a rela-
tionship with others, good leaders use
the term, ‘’we’’, more often than “I.”
Good leaders share power-Enable Oth-
ers to Act. Finally, leadership involves
appreciation, encouragement and caring,
thus– Encouraging the Heart.
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE THE
MESSENGER, YOU WON’T BE-
LIEVE THE MESSAGE.
STAYING IN LOVE
U.S. Army Major General John H. Stan-
ford was asked by the authors how he
would continue to develop leaders in the
military or even private practice. His
answer was not the typical strategy
laden one. Stanford said, ‘’When anyone
asks me that question, I tell them I
have the secret to success in life. The
secret to success is to stay in love.
Staying in love gives you the power to
ignite other people, to see inside other
people, to have a greater desire to get
things done than other people.” This
statement is true no matter what field
of endeavor you are in. A teacher who
is in love with the profession of teaching
will empower the students to grow and
learn. The children see that love in the
teacher and respond to that teacher as
leader.
Leadership is not an
affair of the head. Leadership is
an affair of the heart.
AN INTODUCTION TO THE FIVE PRACTICES
While researching for their book,
the authors interviewed thou-
sands of business executives. The
question put to them was, “What
values do you look for and admire
in your leader?” In response, 225
different characteristics, traits
and values were given. Among
these, in over 50% of the time,
four characteristics stood out.
These were: honesty, forward-
looking, competent, and inspiring.
Through 3 editions of their book,
from 1987 to 2002, these four
characteristics remained in the
lead. Honesty was always at the
top of the scale. Along with hon-
esty are the traits of being prin-
cipled and
ethical. Peo-
ple want to
have leaders
that have in-
tegrity and
are credible.

Kouzes and Posner suggest that leader-
ship is a performing art. A leader learns
to “ act “ in the manner required to get
people to come on board. Leaders enact
decisions in order to get to their goals.
The authors go further to suggest that
“ setting an example is essentially doing
what you say you will do.” Clarification
of values is extremely important as is
the consistency by which leaders show
that they are worthy leaders to follow.
Leaders need to use storytelling, arti-
facts and symbols to reinforce their
beliefs. Storytelling of success in the
company reinforces the fact that any-
one, with the right amount of will and
desire will succeed. Leaders need to
question themselves constantly, making
sure that they are modeling the way in a
manner that is appropriate and desir-
able.
LEADERSHIP IS A PER-
FORMING ART
TEN COMMITMENTS, continued
By modeling desired behavior, leaders get
more commitment and higher work stan-
dards from their employees. Leaders must
build credibility through what they say as
well as by what they do. An exemplary
leader is able to articulate his beliefs so
that others may understand and see
where he is coming from. As well, the
leader must assure that his actions fit his
words. A leader’s values must fit in with
his behaviors and expectations of other’s
behaviors. Values are what keep us going,
they are the guidelines by which we live
our lives, at work and at play. As Kouzes
and Posner write, “Values constitute our
bottom line.” Further to this they add,
“...inform our decisions as to what to do
and what not to do.” Leaders need to be
clear on their values and be able to
share these values through their own
voice. In doing this ,leaders become
authentic, leading from the inside. Peo-
ple gauge your value as a leader by what
you do, more than by what you say.

THING YOURSELF FIRST, BEFORE
YOU CAN GET OTHERS TO BE-
LIEVE.” Ashraf Seddeek, Oracle Corp.

YOU CAN’T

YOU DON’T KNOW
WHAT THE

BELIEVES.
LDRS 591 Organizational Behavior and Development
Page 4
Leaders must have a vision,
whether we call it a mission, pur-
pose, goal or agenda, it all comes
down to the want and the need to
create and accomplish something.
However, a good leader must be
able to impart his vision to others.
The people must be able to “see”
that vision and know what is in it
for them. People need to feel like
stakeholders in a project or as-
signment in order to perform at
the top of their capacity. There
must be some kind of motivation,
whether it is intrinsic or extrin-
sic—we all do something for a rea-
son. In order for a leader to im-
part his vision he must feel pas-
sionately about it, he must speak
about it with a sense of urgency
and passion to enable others to
feel the same way, Again, the
leader must consider his people’s
needs and show why the vision
would be for the greater good of
all. Kouzes and Posner write,
“Envisioning a future is a process
that begins with passion, feeling,
concern, or an inspiration that
something is worth doing.” A
leader with a vision needs to pro-
ject into the future and see what
is the result of his vision coming
to fruition. If it is for the good of
all concerned, and no harm comes
about, then it is worthwhile to
proceed. As well as imparting the
vision, the environment must be
structured as to enable others to
DON BENNETT: The first amputee to climb Mount Rainier’s
14,410 ft. volcanic
summit describes his idea for The Amputee Soccer League.
“When I got off the mountain, I was in
top shape. The best shape I’d ever been
in my life. And so right away,...my mind is
thinking, “What can I do to stay in
shape?” So where does it come from? I
think there is a bolt of lightening in the
middle of the night. All I had was an
inspiration. I didn’t know much about
soccer….So the next thing with the in-
spiration is to “get out and start to do
something.” The doing part of it was
picking up the phone, calling a few
friends, and saying, “Why don’t you
meet me over on Mercer Island?
I’ve got an idea here. I really feel
it.” So when they came over, I pull
out a soccer ball. They already have
their crutches, and we start kicking
it...Then things started happening.
You’ve got to kick the ball around to
get the feel for it. The inspirations
come with kicking the ball.”
YOU CAN’T REACH THE TOP OF
THE MOUNTAIN UNLESS YOU
TAKE THAT FIRST STEP.
2. INSPIRE A SHARED VISION
freely and passionately work towards completion of the vision.
A vision
statement should be part of the very beginning operations when
working
on a vision. The vision statement ideally should be created by
all the
stakeholders, not just the leader. In writing the statement,
questions
about where you want to see yourself (yourselves) in five to ten
years is
worthwhile doing. By dreaming big and visualizing what could
be, all con-
cerned will be instilled with the passion that is needed to get the
pro-
ject off the ground. Leaders who are enthusiastic about their
vision
and their people, who give voice to their people are by far better
liked
and more successful than those who keep all the ideas as theirs
and di-
rect and impose their visions on others. Being enthusiastic
however is
not all that is needed to find a vision. According to the authors,
and I
agree, it is an emotional, intuitive process of self-discovery and
self-
exploration, leading to self-creation .
VISION MEANS AN
IDEAL and UNIQUE
IMAGE OF THE
FUTURE FOR THE
COMMON GOOD.
LDRS 591 Organizational Behavior and Development
Page 5
In order for others to buy into a
leaders vision, the leader must
develop a sense of shared
destiny. The authors
found, when researching
for their book, that there
were several reactions
that people commonly felt
when leaders had ef-
fectively communi-
cated their vision. Among these
were job satisfaction and pride in
the organization. Good leaders
have excellent communica-
tion skills, they use power-
ful language, and nonverbal
expressiveness. Figures of
speech, examples, stories,
and anecdotes are all in
their bag of tricks.
They know how to
catch people’s atten-
tion and hold it. Listening skills
are perhaps one of the most im-
portant tools of the exemplary
leader. A good leader must listen
with the heart, know who he is
listening to and give importance to
the task of listening. According
to the authors, “Note the ratio
between your ears and your
mouth, and make certain that you
listen twice as often as you talk.”
LISTEN: Your good ideas
may come from the most
unlikely sources.
THREE ESSENTIALS NEEDED
TO ENLIST OTHERS;
1. LISTEN DEEPLY TO OTHERS
2. DISCOVER AND APPEAL TO A
COMMON PURPOSE
3. GIVE LIFE TO A VISION BY
COMMUNICATING EXPRES-
SIVELY SO THAT PEOPLE CAN
SEE THEMSELVES IN IT.
MARTIN LUTHER KING,JR. WAS
FAMOUS FOR HIS PICTUR-
ESQUE LANGUAGE USED IN
HIS SPEECHES;
EX:
“..the red hills of Georgia”
“..the jangling discords of our na-
tion”
ENLIST OTHERS: How to get the job done.
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEAD-
ERSHIP
This type of leadership “occurs
when, in their interactions, people
raise one another to higher levels
of motivation and morality. Their
purposes...become fused...But
transforming leadership ulti-
mately becomes moral in that it
raises the level of human conduct
and ethical aspirations of both
leader and the led, and thus it has
a transforming effect on both.”
Kouzes and Posner
‘”i HAVE A DREAM THAT ONE
DAY THIS NATION WILL RISE
UP AND LIVE OUT THE TRUE
MEANING OF ITS CREED: “WE
HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE
SELF-EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN
ARE CREATED EQUAL.” Martin
Luther King, Jr.
King was a great leader, he gave life
and color to his vision when he spoke.
Some comments by followers:
“It was vivid.”
“He appealed to common bonds.”
“He spoke with passion and emotion.”
“ He knew his audience.”
“He was personally convinced of the
Dream.”
When leaders effectively
communicate a vision the result is:
1. Job satisfaction
2. Motivation
3. Commitment
4. Loyalty
5. Esprit de corps
6. Clarity about values
7. Pride in the organization
8. Organizational productivity
LDRS 591 Organizational Behavior and Development
Exemplary leaders are always
looking for ways to challenge
themselves and others in
order to foster growth and
change. Change can be
stressful, however, effec-
tive leaders welcome this
stress as a time to renew,
revamp and redo. Training
is a crucial factor in
change being success-
ful. You can not possi-
bly have people as-
signed new responsi-
bilities if workshops, or inser-
vices are not conducted to allow
people to gain skills to en-
hance their performance.
Leaders need to set their
expectations at a higher
level in order for employ-
ees to reach their poten-
tial. Not only do employers
have to set the bar higher
for employees, they
have to set it higher
for themselves.
FOUR ESSEN-
TIALS TO GETTING EX-
TRAORDINARY THINGS
DONE:
1. Seize the initiative.
2. Make challenge meaning-
ful.
3. Innovate and create.
4. Look outward for fresh
ideas.
Leaders challenge the
status quo and search
for new ideas.
TO SUCCEED IN CHALLENGING THE PROCESS YOU NEED
TO:
1. Initiate incremental steps and small wins.
2. Learn from mistakes.
3. Promote psychological hardiness.
New challenges, risks, and experi-
ences often incur fear in people.
Reno Taini and Randy DuBois of an
outdoor adventure group, Pro-
Action Associates, talk about
their experiences in this area:
“Consistently, we observe that the weakest
muscle in the body is the one between the
ears. Self-imposed limitations and beliefs
hold most people back. When individuals
feel the surge of adrenaline and the thump
of their hearts growing louder, they fre-
quently interpret that feeling as fear. We
encourage them to explore and push on
their perceived limits. By translating that
feeling into excitement, they then
discover the elation of victory over
crippling doubts-and the ways they
link these feelings back to their
workplace are
enormous.”
Experimentation is the key to chal-
lenging the process.
3. CHALLENGE THE PROCESS
People usually do something for a
purpose. Most times ,work re-
lated activities are done for an
extrinsic purpose. Leaders have to
motivate their employees to do
things for intrinsic reasons—to
get the feeling of a job well done.
The authors suggest that,
“Absolute dedication to extrinsic
motivators severely limits an or-
ganization’s ability to excel and to
use the full potential of its em-
ployees.”
A leader’s attitude is crucial and
sets the tone for how a company is
run. Leaders who are open and
challenge the status quo also are
proactive in seeking new endeavors
and creating new opportunities for
change and in turn growth. Just
because something has been done a
certain way in an organization for
years does not mean that it is the
best way in the present day. Exem-
plary leaders are on the lookout
for possibilities for improvement
all the time.
It’s amazing: once they get
started, people always accomplish
more than they originally thought
they could.
RANDY DUBOIS, PRO-ACTION
ASSOCIATES

Findings from the research for
the book discovered that most
extraordinary achievements
were not done by one sole person
but by a team of peo-
ple. Collaboration is a
necessary part of any
organization. It is the
key to accomplishing
what you need to get
done. An atmosphere
of competitiveness
within an organization does not bring
people together, rather, it pulls them
apart. Trustworthiness or trust is at
the root of collaboration. If a leader
is not trustworthy he
will have no followers,
on the other hand if a
leader can not trust his
people, the organization
does not succeed.
Leaders must build an
atmosphere of mutual
trust within their or-
ganization. The authors also re-
port that psychologists have
found that , “ people who are
trusting are more likely to be
happy and psychologically adjusted
than those who view the world
with suspicion and disrespect.”
Kouzes and Posner go further to
say that, “Trusting leaaders nur-
ture openness, involvement, per-
sonal satisfaction, and high levels
of commitment.”
LEADERSHIP IS NOT A
SOLO ACT, IT’S A TEAM
EFFORT.
BE THE FIRST TO TRUST
TO PROMOTE TRUST:
-disclose information about your be-
liefs
-admit mistakes
-ask for feed-back, positive and nega-
tive
-listen attentively to others
-share information
-say-We can trust them-and mean it
TO MODERATE A DEFENSIVE CLI-
MATE:
-provide descriptive rather than
evaluative comments
-paraphrase other’ ideas
-ask questions for clarification
-express genuine feelings of caring TAKE A LOT OF HUMAN
MOMENTS-
face to face conversations.
4. ENABLE OTHERS TO ACT
How does a leader create a climate of trust? One way is to be
open to
influence. Get to know the people that you work with, what
makes them
tick? Use other’s expertise, it is amazing within a school, for
example,
the varying strengths, abilities, and talents there are among the
staff.
Everyone needs to be heard, and in order for that to happen
there
needs to be an atmosphere of acceptance and trust. The more
open a
leader is the more encouraged the people will be to be open.
This builds
“interpersonal” trust. How do you begin to be open and
encourage open-
ness? Listening is a crucial part of an interpersonal relationship.
Listen-
ing and appreciating others viewpoints shows respect for others.
This in
turn continues to build a trust relationship. TRUST BEGETS

Student Perspective on Book
This book is truly an invaluable source of information for
anyone who
is now in a leadership position or who hopes to be. The authors
write
with clarity, and the book’s format is easy to follow. With each
of
the five principles, the authors have included the Ten
Commitments of
Leadership. Many examples and strategies that are easily doable
are
included with each commitment. The chapters include many
examples
of exemplary leaders and how they go about encouraging and
building
strong, faithful employees.
I encourage all leaders to read this book and to choose one or
two of
the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership to start working on
and
bringing into practice.
then what will likely result is
the fulfillment of the “self-
fulfilling prophecy” of poor per-
formance and standards. Not
only do exemplary leaders ex-
pect high standards of their
employees but they expect it of
themselves. By focusing posi-
tively on expected behaviors, an
organizations moral is lifted.
Everyone can see them-
selves being productive
and happy. Along with
encouraging the heart
comes the notion of lis-
tening “with your eyes and your
heart.” Leaders need to be visi-
ble, out and among their em-
ployees seeing what is going on
and listening to what the people
are saying. Leaders must recog-
nize and reward employees for
their progress-this encourages
the heart immensely. A thank
The authors suggest that moti-
vation increases productivity
only when a challenging goal is
put forward and feedback is
given on their performance. This
encourages self-reflection and
self-correction, thereby allowing
for the individual’s growth. As
well., people can become self-
advocates, questioning their pro-
gress and asking for help along
the way in an attempt to reach
the higher bar. As with children
in school, if the teacher expects
them to be mediocre and not do
well, they more than likely will
prove that expectation correct.
The same is true of an organiza-
tion, if the leader expects a
high standard of performance,
they will likely get it. On the re-
verse, if nothing is done to en-
courage and promote collabora-
tion, trust and high standards,
you can perhaps go further than
any other spoken word. People
appreciate when their work is
noticed and appreciated in turn.
This shows them that they are
valued and that they are an inte-
gral part of the organization.

THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE Kouzes and Posner Based .docx

  • 1. THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE Kouzes and Posner “Based upon evidence collected from around the world and over decades, THE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE provides guidance on how to lead and inspiration to make the effort.” —Jeffrey Pfeffer, professor, Stanford Business School, Kouzes and Posner sug- gest that “practice” is what leadership is all about. Their model, THE FIVE PRACTICES OF EFFECTIVE LEADER- SHIP, is offered as a guide for all modern day leaders in all aspects of administration. The au- thors found, when re- searching for their book, that these five practices were common among ex- emplary leaders. This book is meant to be used as a tool by leaders to guide others to reach their maximum potential. Kouzes and Posner warn,
  • 2. however, that in order to become an effective guide for others one must have their own house in order first. They suggest and offer questions by which lead- ers may challenge them- selves as to their be- liefs, practices and abili- ties. Gayle Hamilton speaks to this as she says, ”You can’t follow someone who isn’t credi- ble, who doesn’t truly believe what they are doing-and how they are doing it.” Gayle is head of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, one of the many exemplary leaders that the authors have showcased in their book. Each practice in the book has with it nu- merous examples of leaders at their best. Along with the Five Practices, are the Ten Commitments of Leader- ship. These are offered as time-tested strate- gies through which lead- ers attain their goals.
  • 3. 1. Find your voice by clarifying your personal values. 2. Set the example by aligning actions with shared values. 3. Envision the future by imag- ining exciting and ennobling possibilities. 4. Enlist others in a common vision by appealing to shared aspirations. 5. Search for opportunities by seeking innovative ways to grow, change, and improve. 6. Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small wins and learning from mistakes. 7. Foster collaboration by promoting cooperative goals and building trust 8. Strengthen others by sharing power and discretion. 9. Recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individ- ual excellence. 10. Celebrate the values and victories by creating a spirit of Introduction to the Five Practices 2

  • 5. 3. Challenge the Process 4. Enable Others to Act 5. Encourage the Heart Kouzes&Posner TEN COMMITMENTS OF LEADERSHIP EXECUT IVE BOO K SUMM ARY Keith Walker LDRS 591 Organizational Behavior and Development Very simply put-”YOU MUST LEAD FROM WHAT YOU BELIEVE.” (Alan Keith) This statement sums up the whole model of the Five Practices. If you do not truly believe in what you are telling your staff, or you do not model behaviors that you wish your staff to portray, how can you possibly hope to have people who believe and trust
  • 6. enough in you to follow your leadership? The old adage, “actions speak louder than words”, is never truer than when dealing with people. If you hope to be a suc- cessful leader in whatever profession, you must lead by example-Model the Way. In order to be able to model, one must have a clear vision of what is needed and of what the end result will be. You must be able to get that vision from idea stage to one where others see it as well-Inspire a Shared Vision. Leaders must be able to take risks and do everything that they would ask others to do, whether it is mopping a spill on the floor to learning a new skill-Challenge the Process. Leader- ship is not a singular process but a rela- tionship with others, good leaders use the term, ‘’we’’, more often than “I.” Good leaders share power-Enable Oth- ers to Act. Finally, leadership involves appreciation, encouragement and caring, thus– Encouraging the Heart. IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE THE MESSENGER, YOU WON’T BE- LIEVE THE MESSAGE.
  • 7. STAYING IN LOVE U.S. Army Major General John H. Stan- ford was asked by the authors how he would continue to develop leaders in the military or even private practice. His answer was not the typical strategy laden one. Stanford said, ‘’When anyone asks me that question, I tell them I have the secret to success in life. The secret to success is to stay in love. Staying in love gives you the power to ignite other people, to see inside other people, to have a greater desire to get things done than other people.” This statement is true no matter what field of endeavor you are in. A teacher who is in love with the profession of teaching will empower the students to grow and learn. The children see that love in the teacher and respond to that teacher as leader. Leadership is not an affair of the head. Leadership is an affair of the heart. AN INTODUCTION TO THE FIVE PRACTICES While researching for their book, the authors interviewed thou- sands of business executives. The question put to them was, “What values do you look for and admire in your leader?” In response, 225
  • 8. different characteristics, traits and values were given. Among these, in over 50% of the time, four characteristics stood out. These were: honesty, forward- looking, competent, and inspiring. Through 3 editions of their book, from 1987 to 2002, these four characteristics remained in the lead. Honesty was always at the top of the scale. Along with hon- esty are the traits of being prin- cipled and ethical. Peo- ple want to have leaders that have in- tegrity and are credible. WHAT PEOPLE LOOK FOR AND ADMIRE IN THEIR LEADERS “Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to make something extraordinary

A leader learns to “ act “ in the manner required to get people to come on board. Leaders enact decisions in order to get to their goals. The authors go further to suggest that “ setting an example is essentially doing what you say you will do.” Clarification of values is extremely important as is the consistency by which leaders show that they are worthy leaders to follow. Leaders need to use storytelling, arti- facts and symbols to reinforce their beliefs. Storytelling of success in the company reinforces the fact that any-

Leaders need to question themselves constantly, making sure that they are modeling the way in a manner that is appropriate and desir- able. LEADERSHIP IS A PER- FORMING ART TEN COMMITMENTS, continued By modeling desired behavior, leaders get more commitment and higher work stan- dards from their employees. Leaders must build credibility through what they say as well as by what they do. An exemplary leader is able to articulate his beliefs so that others may understand and see where he is coming from. As well, the leader must assure that his actions fit his words. A leader’s values must fit in with his behaviors and expectations of other’s behaviors. Values are what keep us going, they are the guidelines by which we live our lives, at work and at play. As Kouzes and Posner write, “Values constitute our bottom line.” Further to this they add, “...inform our decisions as to what to do and what not to do.” Leaders need to be clear on their values and be able to share these values through their own voice. In doing this ,leaders become authentic, leading from the inside. Peo-

MODEL THE WAY YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IN THE MESSENGER IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THE MESSENGER BELIEVES. LDRS 591 Organizational Behavior and Development Page 4 Leaders must have a vision, whether we call it a mission, pur- pose, goal or agenda, it all comes down to the want and the need to create and accomplish something. However, a good leader must be able to impart his vision to others. The people must be able to “see” that vision and know what is in it for them. People need to feel like stakeholders in a project or as- signment in order to perform at
  • 17. the top of their capacity. There must be some kind of motivation, whether it is intrinsic or extrin- sic—we all do something for a rea- son. In order for a leader to im- part his vision he must feel pas- sionately about it, he must speak about it with a sense of urgency and passion to enable others to feel the same way, Again, the leader must consider his people’s needs and show why the vision would be for the greater good of all. Kouzes and Posner write, “Envisioning a future is a process that begins with passion, feeling, concern, or an inspiration that something is worth doing.” A leader with a vision needs to pro- ject into the future and see what is the result of his vision coming to fruition. If it is for the good of all concerned, and no harm comes about, then it is worthwhile to proceed. As well as imparting the vision, the environment must be structured as to enable others to DON BENNETT: The first amputee to climb Mount Rainier’s 14,410 ft. volcanic summit describes his idea for The Amputee Soccer League. “When I got off the mountain, I was in top shape. The best shape I’d ever been

All I had was an inspiration. I didn’t know much about soccer….So the next thing with the in- spiration is to “get out and start to do something.” The doing part of it was picking up the phone, calling a few friends, and saying, “Why don’t you meet me over on Mercer Island? I’ve got an idea here. I really feel it.” So when they came over, I pull out a soccer ball. They already have their crutches, and we start kicking it...Then things started happening. You’ve got to kick the ball around to get the feel for it. The inspirations come with kicking the ball.” YOU CAN’T REACH THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN UNLESS YOU TAKE THAT FIRST STEP. 2. INSPIRE A SHARED VISION freely and passionately work towards completion of the vision. A vision statement should be part of the very beginning operations when working on a vision. The vision statement ideally should be created by all the stakeholders, not just the leader. In writing the statement, questions

By dreaming big and visualizing what could be, all con- cerned will be instilled with the passion that is needed to get the pro- ject off the ground. Leaders who are enthusiastic about their vision and their people, who give voice to their people are by far better liked and more successful than those who keep all the ideas as theirs and di- rect and impose their visions on others. Being enthusiastic however is not all that is needed to find a vision. According to the authors, and I agree, it is an emotional, intuitive process of self-discovery and self- exploration, leading to self-creation . VISION MEANS AN IDEAL and UNIQUE IMAGE OF THE FUTURE FOR THE COMMON GOOD. LDRS 591 Organizational Behavior and Development Page 5 In order for others to buy into a leaders vision, the leader must
  • 20. develop a sense of shared destiny. The authors found, when researching for their book, that there were several reactions that people commonly felt when leaders had ef- fectively communi- cated their vision. Among these were job satisfaction and pride in the organization. Good leaders have excellent communica- tion skills, they use power- ful language, and nonverbal expressiveness. Figures of speech, examples, stories, and anecdotes are all in their bag of tricks. They know how to catch people’s atten- tion and hold it. Listening skills are perhaps one of the most im- portant tools of the exemplary leader. A good leader must listen with the heart, know who he is listening to and give importance to the task of listening. According to the authors, “Note the ratio between your ears and your mouth, and make certain that you listen twice as often as you talk.”

Organizational productivity LDRS 591 Organizational Behavior and Development Exemplary leaders are always looking for ways to challenge themselves and others in order to foster growth and change. Change can be stressful, however, effec- tive leaders welcome this stress as a time to renew, revamp and redo. Training is a crucial factor in change being success- ful. You can not possi- bly have people as- signed new responsi- bilities if workshops, or inser- vices are not conducted to allow people to gain skills to en- hance their performance.
  • 24. Leaders need to set their expectations at a higher level in order for employ- ees to reach their poten- tial. Not only do employers have to set the bar higher for employees, they have to set it higher for themselves. FOUR ESSEN- TIALS TO GETTING EX- TRAORDINARY THINGS DONE: 1. Seize the initiative. 2. Make challenge meaning- ful. 3. Innovate and create. 4. Look outward for fresh ideas. Leaders challenge the status quo and search for new ideas. TO SUCCEED IN CHALLENGING THE PROCESS YOU NEED TO: 1. Initiate incremental steps and small wins. 2. Learn from mistakes. 3. Promote psychological hardiness.
  • 25. New challenges, risks, and experi- ences often incur fear in people. Reno Taini and Randy DuBois of an outdoor adventure group, Pro- Action Associates, talk about their experiences in this area: “Consistently, we observe that the weakest muscle in the body is the one between the ears. Self-imposed limitations and beliefs hold most people back. When individuals feel the surge of adrenaline and the thump of their hearts growing louder, they fre- quently interpret that feeling as fear. We encourage them to explore and push on their perceived limits. By translating that feeling into excitement, they then discover the elation of victory over crippling doubts-and the ways they link these feelings back to their workplace are enormous.” Experimentation is the key to chal- lenging the process. 3. CHALLENGE THE PROCESS People usually do something for a purpose. Most times ,work re- lated activities are done for an extrinsic purpose. Leaders have to motivate their employees to do things for intrinsic reasons—to get the feeling of a job well done.
  • 26. The authors suggest that, “Absolute dedication to extrinsic motivators severely limits an or- ganization’s ability to excel and to use the full potential of its em- ployees.” A leader’s attitude is crucial and sets the tone for how a company is run. Leaders who are open and challenge the status quo also are proactive in seeking new endeavors and creating new opportunities for change and in turn growth. Just because something has been done a certain way in an organization for years does not mean that it is the best way in the present day. Exem- plary leaders are on the lookout for possibilities for improvement all the time. It’s amazing: once they get started, people always accomplish more than they originally thought they could.

  • 27. Findings from the research for the book discovered that most extraordinary achievements were not done by one sole person but by a team of peo- ple. Collaboration is a necessary part of any organization. It is the key to accomplishing what you need to get done. An atmosphere of competitiveness within an organization does not bring people together, rather, it pulls them apart. Trustworthiness or trust is at the root of collaboration. If a leader is not trustworthy he will have no followers, on the other hand if a leader can not trust his people, the organization does not succeed. Leaders must build an atmosphere of mutual trust within their or- ganization. The authors also re- port that psychologists have found that , “ people who are trusting are more likely to be happy and psychologically adjusted
  • 28. than those who view the world with suspicion and disrespect.” Kouzes and Posner go further to say that, “Trusting leaaders nur- ture openness, involvement, per- sonal satisfaction, and high levels of commitment.” LEADERSHIP IS NOT A SOLO ACT, IT’S A TEAM EFFORT. BE THE FIRST TO TRUST TO PROMOTE TRUST: -disclose information about your be- liefs -admit mistakes -ask for feed-back, positive and nega- tive -listen attentively to others -share information -say-We can trust them-and mean it TO MODERATE A DEFENSIVE CLI- MATE: -provide descriptive rather than evaluative comments
  • 29. -paraphrase other’ ideas -ask questions for clarification -express genuine feelings of caring TAKE A LOT OF HUMAN MOMENTS- face to face conversations. 4. ENABLE OTHERS TO ACT How does a leader create a climate of trust? One way is to be open to influence. Get to know the people that you work with, what makes them tick? Use other’s expertise, it is amazing within a school, for example, the varying strengths, abilities, and talents there are among the staff. Everyone needs to be heard, and in order for that to happen there needs to be an atmosphere of acceptance and trust. The more open a leader is the more encouraged the people will be to be open. This builds “interpersonal” trust. How do you begin to be open and encourage open- ness? Listening is a crucial part of an interpersonal relationship. Listen- ing and appreciating others viewpoints shows respect for others. This in turn continues to build a trust relationship. TRUST BEGETS TRUST CREATING A CLIMATE OF TRUST

Not only do exemplary leaders ex- pect high standards of their employees but they expect it of themselves. By focusing posi- tively on expected behaviors, an organizations moral is lifted. Everyone can see them- selves being productive and happy. Along with encouraging the heart comes the notion of lis- tening “with your eyes and your heart.” Leaders need to be visi- ble, out and among their em- ployees seeing what is going on and listening to what the people are saying. Leaders must recog- nize and reward employees for their progress-this encourages the heart immensely. A thank The authors suggest that moti- vation increases productivity only when a challenging goal is put forward and feedback is given on their performance. This

As well., people can become self- advocates, questioning their pro- gress and asking for help along the way in an attempt to reach the higher bar. As with children in school, if the teacher expects them to be mediocre and not do well, they more than likely will prove that expectation correct. The same is true of an organiza- tion, if the leader expects a high standard of performance, they will likely get it. On the re- verse, if nothing is done to en- courage and promote collabora- tion, trust and high standards, you can perhaps go further than any other spoken word. People appreciate when their work is noticed and appreciated in turn. This shows them that they are valued and that they are an inte- gral part of the organization.
