Malcolm Knowles • Abraham Maslow • Steven Covey • Mihály Csíkszentmihályi • These thought leaders challenge us to create creative leaders by modeling creative leadership.
Andragogy • In "The Adult Learner," Knowles identified the root of Pedagogy as "paid" (child) and "agogus" (leader of), and combined the two to mean the "art and science of teaching children." • His definition shows the strong link between leading and teaching.
Andragogy • Knowles observed that becoming an adult was a process, culminating in the self-concept of being responsible for our own lives - having self-direction. • Can the same be said about becoming an adult teacher/leader?
Andragogy • Knowles' guidance on "making things happen by releasing energy in others" ties in with this, as well.
Andragogy • Knowles said that creative leaders differ from controlling leaders in the assumptions they make about human nature.
Andragogy • Knowles said that creative leaders assume when people make a commitment they had a part in the decision process. • Creative leaders value individuality -- they stimulate and reward creativity.
Hierarchy Of Needs • Maslow defined self-actualization as the desire for self-fulfillment, doing what one is fitted for, to become everything that one is capable of becoming.
Hierarchy Of Needs • Maslow’s self-actualization can be described best as a process that is often felt, sometimes seen, but rarely achieved.
What Motivates You? • Maslow’s theory of human motivation
1. Physiological • Hunger • Thirst • Shelter • sex
2. Safety • Security • Protection from harm
3. Social: • Affection • Belonging • Acceptance • friendship
4. Esteem: (also called ego). • Self respect • Autonomy • Achievement • Status • Recognition • Attention
8th Habit • Covey says, "Leadership is a choice, not a position." • How many of us feel we have made a choice, or were we just filling a void and sort of got comfortable once we filled it?
8th Habit • Leadership, if not chosen (daily), can be considered forfeited.
8th Habit • Covey said the 8th Habit is about • finding your voice • and inspiring others to find theirs
What's the difference between • inspiring someone • and encouraging, empowering, or assisting them?
8th Habit • Covey explained that Voice is your "unique personal significance." • It is that "significance that is revealed as we face our greatest challenges and that makes us equal to them."
How often do we feel "equal" to our "greatest challenges?" • Does this term "voice" remind you of other theories?
Covey’s "voice" is similar to • Maslow's "self-actualization," from his "Hierarchy Of Needs“ • And also looks similar to Csíkszentmihályi’s “Flow”
Flow • Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing, characterized by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity.
How do I get there from here? • Clear goals • Concentrating and focusing • Self-consciousness • Distorted sense of time • Direct and immediate feedback • Balanced ability level and challenge • A sense of personal control. • An activity that is intrinsically rewarding • Becoming absorbed in the activity Not all are needed for flow to be experienced.
How do We get there from here? • Creative spatial arrangements • Chairs • Pin walls • Charts (no tables) • Work primarily while standing and moving. • Playground design • Charts & Flow graphs • Project summary • Results wall • Open topics • Parallel, organized working • Target group focus • Prototyping • Efficiency through visualization • Differences seen as opportunities, not obstacles.
Where will I feel Flow? • Business (especially negotiations) • Playing music • Playing sports • Playing video games • Doing standup comedy • Religious activity • Education (learning and sharing)
