  3. BEING A LEADER Leadership is the process of providing direction, energizing others, and obtaining their voluntary commitment to the leader’s vision. YOU influencing others to achieve a goal! • Leaders create, grow, and transform organizations. • You cannot effectively lead without goals • Goals give your leadership direction • Direction gives your leadership purpose • Purpose attracts followers and builds a strong unit

  4. SIX QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE LEADERS • EthicsYou need to have a clear sense of right and wrong. Define your values and beliefs and determine what you will and will not do to obtain your goals. People need to trust you. They need to see that you consistently choose courses of action that match your code of ethics. If you constantly switch sides depending on the popularly held opinion of the moment, your co-workers will not have confidence in you.

  5. SIX QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE LEADERS • EmpathyShow that you care about other’s thoughts and ideas. Listen to them. Take time to learn about their strengths, weaknesses, and concerns. Ask them to help you meet a goal that will be beneficial to both. People need to know that you care about them and want what is best for them.

  6. SIX QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE LEADERS • CuriosityKeep learning. Life moves quickly; you need to keep up with it if you want to be effective. Use your knowledge to refine and reach your goals. Informed decisions are the only kind of resolutions you should make.

  7. SIX QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE LEADERS • VisionLearn to see beyond the immediate. Reach into the chaos and pull out order. Offer solutions. You should know where you want to go, and you should have the ability to make plans for getting there. • CourageIt takes courage to follow your dreams. Face your fears. Learn about them and then master them.

  8. SIX QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE LEADERS • CommunicateYou must be able to express your interest in others and your total belief in your vision. Communication is the glue that ties it all together. Without that connection, everything else is nothing more than good intentions.

  9. TRANSACTIONAL VS. TRANFORMATIONAL LEADERS Transactional leadersfocus on: • Keeping an organization running smoothly and efficiently • Commitment to “follow the rules” Transformational leaderstend to be more visionary and concerned about charting a mission and direction

  10. LEADERSHIP IN THE AUXILIARY Key questions: • Do we have positional leadership? • Do we have authority? • Do we have the power to discipline? • How do we get members to do what we need done? • Find the Five P’s of Leadership on the website. How does this list relate to the leadership theories?

  11. ELEMENTS OF LEADERSHIP • Effective Leadership - the ability to work through others to accomplish a task. • Leadership Development - the system by which an organization grows its workforce into leaders. • Leadership Competencies - measurable patterns of behavior essential to leading. • Leadership Performance Expectations - the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and abilities the Coast Guard requires of each individual.

  12. COAST GUARD LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES • Leadership competencies are the knowledge, skills, and expertise the Coast Guard expects of its leaders. • Leadership competencies are measurable patterns of behavior essential to leading. The Coast Guard identifies 28 competencies that are consistent with our missions, workforce, and core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty.

  13. COAST GUARD LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES These competencies are classified into three broad categories for a majority of the workforce (see 28 Leadership Competencies (with descriptions). • Leading Self  • Leading Others  • Leading Performance and Change  • Leading the Coast Guard Developing these competencies in all Coast Guard people will result in the continuous improvement necessary to remain always ready-Semper Paratus.

  14. CREATING A LEADERHSIP STRATEGY • A leadership strategy will be required to implement strategies that call for changes in the direction or capabilities of the organization. • Without proper leadership, even the best and boldest strategies die on the vine, their potential never realized.

  15. CREATING A LEADERHSIP STRATEGY • Read the Leadership Strategy paper to learn what a leadership strategy is and how to go creating one for your Flotilla that will forever change the way you develop leaders and create new leadership capabilities.

  23. DIVERSITY The Diversity division’s goal is to make diversity an organizational imperative and bring to us a treasure trove of different perspectives, insights as we reach out in areas where the auxiliary has not gone before. • Be open about differences • Don’t assume anything • Make friends with people different from you. • Avoid telling ethnic or sexual jokes • Make your feelings known
