Galen Bell PresentsThe 360 Degree Leader By John Maxwell
Foundational Principles • “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” • “Leadership is influence: nothing more, nothing less.” • “He who says he leads but no one follows is only taking a walk.” John Maxwell
Leadership Myths • Position Myth: “I can’t lead if I am not at the top.” • Destination Myth: “When I get to the top, then I will learn to lead.” • Influence Myth: “If I were on top, people would follow me.” • Inexperience Myth: “When I get to the top, I’ll be in control.” • Freedom Myth: “When I get to the top, I’ll no longer be limited.” • Potential Myth: “I can’t reach my potential if I’m not the top leader.” • All-or-Nothing Myth: “If I can’t get to the top, then I won’t try to lead.”
Challenges to Being a 360° Leader • Frustration Challenge: Following an Ineffective Leader • Multi-Hat Challenge: 1 Head - Many Hats • Ego Challenge: Hidden in the Middle
Leading Up • Lead yourself well. • Lighten your leaders load. • Be willing to do what others won’t. • Know when to push and when to back-off. • Be a go-to player.
Leading Across • Complete fellow leaders instead of competing with them. • Avoid office politics. • Expand your circle. • Let the best idea win. • Don’t pretend you are perfect.
Leading Down • Walk slowly through the halls. • See everyone as a “10.” • Develop team members as individuals. • Help people work in their strength zones. • Model the behavior you want.
So What?The Value of 360º Leaders • A team of leaders is more effective than just one leader. • Leading well in one role prepares one to be a better leader in other roles. • Strong leaders in the middle make better leaders at the top.
