  11. Leaders must have: • Technical competence • Communication skills • Management skills Is that enough?

  12. What is the most important aspect needed for you to follow and believe in a leader? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  13. Why is TRUST so important? Trust to do what? The essence of trust is that followers believe you will do what is right – in their best interest - not just what is in your best interest.

  14. What is trust? How do you create trust? How do you earn trust? Who do you trust? _____________________________________________________________________

  15. Why do you trust them? _____________________________________________________________________ How did they earn your trust? _____________________________________________________________________

  16. David Gergen The heart and soul of Leadership is the relationship of the follower and Leader. Trust is key. How do you earn trust? 5 Cs: • Candor • Competence • Consistency • Compassion (empathy) • Character

  17. And according to Gergen, character is key. What is Character? • ____________________________________ • ____________________________________ • ____________________________________ • ____________________________________ • ____________________________________ • ____________________________________

  18. What is your character?

  19. Leadership • Size • Gender • Nationality • Charisma • Where you went to school • Pedigree • Your religion DO NOT PRECLUDE YOU LEARNING TO BE A LEADER

  20. What matters is what is in your heart. Your character Your values Your attitudes And How you act and express that.

  21. Why should anyone follow you? Right attitude Right motivation Right values Emotional Intelligence Unless you understand yourself and your emotions, you cannot understand other people and lead them.

  22. The right stuff is within you – Deal with you Be self-aware Be sensitive Be disciplined

  23. Great Athletes Musicians Singers All have one thing in common: Ratio Ratio Practice Performance

  24. Tough part of the business world is a leader has to perform all day, every day! On stage! Showtime!

  25. Can you learn to be a good leader? YES!

  26. Learning to be a Good Leader is a life-long pursuit. You will get better as you: • Experience life; • Lead and learn; • Become emotionally more aware and secure; • Learn not to focus on “me”; and • Truly adopt a servant leadership approach.

  27. What precludes you from being a good leader? • Laziness • Arrogance • Lack of self-discipline • Bad attitude

  28. How does this trust translate into business success? Profits? Leader employees customers $ • Number one determinant of employee job satisfaction and job performance is you – the Leader.What do your employees think about you? How do they view you? Do they trust you?

  29. Happy, productive employees create happier, more loyal customers and that is the essence of making $ $ $ $. So what makes employees happy? Satisfied? $ $ $ $ is NOT enough. Money is NOT enough.

  30. Employees want: • Respect • Meaning • Opportunity • Fairness

  31. Leadership is a constant battle between:

  32. Leadership is all about YOU and how you relate to your followers. Relationships are hard work.

  33. Let’s Focus on You! Why do you want to lead? • _________________________________ • _________________________________ • _________________________________ More $$$$$? More power? More respect? More perks?

  34. Honestly… • _________________________________ • _________________________________ • _________________________________ Most people are promoted to a leadership position not because they are a good Leader, but because they did their job well.

  35. And most people then try to get their employees to do and act like they did – this is what they know. “This is what worked for you?”

  36. Leadership is different than doing a job well; Leadership is motivating, inspiring, and leading others to accomplish certain goals.

  37. Inspiring and leading others to accomplish certain goals: Efficiently & Excellently & On time & On budget

  38. Who are your followers? Why are they important to you? _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________

  39. Because they help you meet your budget, your goals, your objectives, your bonus! Why should they care about you? Why should they care about your bonus?

  40. What I am trying to do is: • Change your attitude about Leadership; • Change your frame of reference and mindset; • Change your behavior

  41. I know change is hard. I know people are creatures of habit. But I know you are here for a reason. To be all you can be and you can only be all you can be through others.

  42. And Guess What?

  43. LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT YOU! LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT THEM!

  44. LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU! LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT HOW YOU CAN HELP THEM!

  45. LEADERSHIP IS NOT THE END RESULT… IT IS THE MEANS TO AN END! LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT HOWYOU IMPACT OR AFFECT YOUR FOLLOWERS.

  46. I submit that you will never, never, achieve your leadership potential until you: • Get the right attitude; • Get the right mindset; and • Adopt a servant leadership mentality.

  47. Change the focus from ME to THEM. Great Leaders help people be all they can be! Great Leaders help peoplereach their potential.

  48. What is Leadership? A Relationship between a Follower and a Leader “Oh, darn…here we go.”

  49. To have a great relationship – FriendshipLoveLeader What do you need? _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________
