  8. What is Leadership?

  9. Defining Leadership Leadership: the process of inspiring others to work hard to accomplish important tasks

  10. Lifelong Learning Susan Allan, MD, JD, MPH

  11. “Why Leadership Development Fails To Produce Good Leaders” from “Psychology Today,” Ray B Williams “Most leadership development initiatives focus on competencies, skill development and techniques, which is some ways is like rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship. Good leaders need to become masters of themselves before they can attempt to be masters of anything else.” http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201310/why-leadership-development-fails-produce-good-leaders

  12. “Leadership development initiatives need to focus on the following core areas to really make a difference …” • Self-awareness. • Emotional self-mastery. • A deep understanding of the dynamics of human behavior on an individual basis. • Ongoing engagement…”any substantial behavioral or attitudinal change requires continuity and a long-term commitment to be successful” • An individual personal stake in self-development. • Choosing people who know how to mentor, coach and develop leaders. • Incorporate mindfulness practices into leadership development. Good leaders are reflective and often introspective. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201310/why-leadership-development-fails-produce-good-leaders

  13. The #1 Reason Leadership Development Failsfrom “Forbes,” Mike Myatt “Training” vs “Development” • Training – orients to known systems, practices • Assumes that the “right way” to do things is known • Development - nuanced, contextual, collaborative, fluid. http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikemyatt/2012/12/19/the-1-reason-leadership-development-fails/

  14. Training Development Occurs beyond the norm Tests courage Focuses on the future Focuses on effectiveness • Blends to a norm • Tests patience • Focuses on the present • Focuses on efficiency http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikemyatt/2012/12/19/the-1-reason-leadership-development-fails

  15. Development is transformational. - focuses on growth. - catalyzes innovation. - focuses on solutions. - explores the unknowns. - moves people beyond their comfort zones. - is infinite. http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikemyatt/2012/12/19/the-1-reason-leadership-development-fails
