  8. Leading from Within (1) • A leader is a person… • With an unusual degree of power to project on other people his or her shadow, or his or her light. • With an unusual degree of power to create the conditions under which other people must live. • Who must take special responsibility for what is going on inside him/herself, lest the act of leadership create more harm than good. Source: Living the Questions: Essays Inspired by the Work and Life of Parker J. Palmer (2005)

  9. Leading from Within (2) • Practicing the habits of leadership builds strong character. • Building character is more important than learning skills and techniques. • We must always be asking: • What values and principles are universal? • What constitutes good character in different settings? • What can we learn from other leadership traditions? • Who are the non-Western writers, leaders, and philosophers that we can learn from? • Leadership takes courage.

  10. “My supervisor and myself have different values. I cannot change her values and I have realized that. What I can change is myself and how I interact with her. This workshop has helped me realize how I need to be open to understanding different type(s) of viewpoints and how I need to first understand where they are coming from.” LIH Namibia Participant

  11. Leadership at All Levels (1) • Stereotypes of a “leader” can harm an organization. • Leading and managing are commitments and practices that can be carried out by people at every level of an organization. • Leadership is the property of the group, and must be distributed. • The true leader elicits the strength of the group.

  12. Leadership at All Levels (2) Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility. - Peter Drucker You don’t want leaders, you want leadership. - Richard Farson Only followers can confer leadership upon a leader. - John W. Gardner
