ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT Leadership

Management vs. Leadership Management is about coping with complexity Leadership is about coping with change

Management vs. Leadership • Planning & vs. Setting the budgeting direction • Organizing & vs. Aligning people staffing • Controlling & vs. Motivating people problem solving

Management vs. Leadership • Some managers (but not all) are leaders • Some leaders (but not all) are good managers • A manager gets work done through the efforts of other people • Includes planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling • A leader creates and realizes a vision • Communicates that vision and moves the organization toward that vision ? ?

Transformational Leadership Setting Direction Inspiring Action Paradigms Taking a Stand Enrollment Leaders create futures that would not otherwise happen

Paradigms “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world”Arthur Schopenhauer “The world that we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far creates problems that we cannot solve at the same level at which we created them” Albert Einstein

Paradigms • Our culture is a box • New paradigms come from the edge,not the center What today is impossible, that if possible, would lead to great success?

Paradigms Taking a Stand “The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him . . .The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself . . .All progress depends on the unreasonable man”George Bernard Shaw

Taking a Stand “We will be the leader…”rather than “We will try to overtake…”

Taking a Stand • Leaders are disruptive and intrusive • Sometimes to have a breakthrough,you must declare a breakdown(or declare a missing)

Setting direction Leaders take a stand. . . with a commitment to victory. . . with a willingness to risk. . . when evidence of success does not exist!!! There are a whole host of possibilities . . . and risks

Commitment “Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness… the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have developed a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” The Scottish Himalayan Expedition W. H. Murray

Enrollment A leader inspires action • Alignment on a vision • Moving to action “A coach is someone who makes you do what you don’t want to do so you can be who you always wanted to be” Tom Landry

Enrollment – Dealing with Fear Fear of failure is a foot nailed to the floor – It can’t be done – I can’t do it – We will fail Are fears not allowed? Fears and concerns should go from a high place in our modus operandi to an appropriate place

Enrollment • Good leaders give direction AND • Involve people in making decisions

Enrollment • Enrollment is a “conversation” where the vision is presented as an opportunity • Don’t just listen for what people say, listen for where they’re coming from • If people are known, gotten and appreciated, they will move mountainsEmpowerment is the background for enrollment

Types of Conversation Possibility Action Declarations I am committed to… We are capable of… We will be leaders in… Requests Will you…by…? Promises Declines Counter offers Description Assertions The evidence is that… Assessments I think / agree / like…
