Challenging Journey to Inspirational Leadership

I’m sure you, like me, have read many books over the years about leadership.  Are leaders born or made?  Answer: YES to both! Just posted a virtual learning session on YouTube and LearnersLive.com is about:

  1. Good to Great by Jim Collins
  2. Extreme Ownership by former U.S. Navy SEALS Jock Willink & Leif Babin

Powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and to life.

               

We take you on a challenging journey from being a competent individual to an inspirational leader…..the key word is “challenging”. Competent Individual to Inspiration Leader 

Inspirational Leaders possess certain attributes that distinguish them from everyone else. They anticipate rather than react to change.  Some call that vision. They become essential facilitators of change within their altered environment. They can skillfully communicate the new and technically esoteric with a clarity that leads to understanding and advocacy. Those in their lead execute the plan because they want to.

In every environment, in every company, in every department, in every office, in every classroom, on every team, there are inequities.  Men and women come in all sizes, all levels of acumen, all degrees of competency, skill and talent……..Many times in any organization and often, not of your choosing, you get a diversity of high performers, good performers, weak performers, and those that do not contribute a dime to the performance of the team. When it comes to standards of performance, you have to decide how much are you willing to tolerate.  Inspirational leaders put together teams of exceptional talent and high standards of performance.  In the book Extreme Talent, the former Navy Seals say it bluntly: “There are no bad teams, only bad leaders.”  If your team fails, it’s on you the Leader.  Get your arms around that concept…..

Inspirational Leaders have certain skills and they are good at it, rather, they are expert at it.

  1. Set Goals… get buy-in by everybody!
  2. Opportunities – vision & execution
  3. Problem-Solving –
  • Internal: to prevent damage to the business
  • External: to solve customer pain points
  1. Decision-Making – do the right things

Interesting: The Three Pillars of Independence of an Organization

The 3 Pillars of Independence most commonly refers to a framework from the UK voluntary sector (specifically promoted by organizations like Bond and the Directory of Social Change). It is a toolkit for assessing and maintaining the independence of charities, NGOs, or civil society organizations.

The Three Pillars are:

  1. Independent of Party Politics – The organization (or regulator) must remain free from bias or influence by any political party or the government of the day. Decisions should be impartial, not favoring one political side.
  2. Independent of Populism – It should not be swayed by popular public opinion, media-driven campaigns, or transient public pressure, especially on controversial or unpopular causes.
  3. Independent of the Press – Freedom from media influence or pressure, ensuring decisions are based on evidence and law rather than headlines or public narratives.

This toolkit was created to monitor potential political encroachment on charitable regulation and to ensure charities can operate without undue external interference.
