3. Welcome To POWER Leadership! • Why is leadership so important? • What does it mean to be a leader at KeHE? What makes us different than other organizations? • How can I be inspired (or, inspire my team) to perform at a high level while making KeHE a great place to work?

4. Servant Leadership • Servant leaders achieve results for their organization by leadingthrough influence instead of authority. • Servant leaders are often seen as humblestewardsof their organization's resources: human, financial and physical. • Servant leadership seeks to move management and employee interaction away from "controlling activities" and toward a more synergistic relationship between parties. • Servant leaders emphasize collaboration, trust, empathy and ethics. • A servant leader’s motivation is a desire to achieve results by serving othersand the organization, not by attaining more personal power or exhibiting authority.

5. Servant Leader Characteristics

6. My research debunks the myth that many people seem to have… that you become a leader by fighting your way to the top. Rather, you become a leader by helping others to the top. Helping your employees is as important, and many times more so, than trying to get the most work out of them. - William Cohen Former US Secretary of Defense • Servant-leadership is more than a concept, it is a fact. Any great leader, by which I also mean an ethical leader of any group, will see herself or himself as a servant of that group and will act accordingly. - M. Scott Peck Thought Leader and Bestselling author of The Road Less Traveled

13. Potential

14. po·ten·tial • Adjective - Having or showing the capacity to develop into something in the future • Noun – Latent qualities or abilities that may be developed or lead to future success or usefulness

15. The first task of leadership is to evaluate the potential of the resources placed in his/her control. Potential measures “net future value,” and the role of a leader begins with understanding the opportunity found in exploiting those resources – principally, the people under his/her direction – to the greatest degree possible. Do you tell them what they should do? or, do you ask them what they could do?

16. Potential Authority Influence › Focus on the task › Maximize the leader › Define the person by the job › Leadership style: command & control › Focus on the talent › Maximize the team › Define the job by the person › Leadership style: coach & mentor

17. The Power of Potential • The greatest asset a leader has to manage is her/his team • Leaders are in the asset management business! • Potential is the “Net future value” of someone – it focuses on both today and tomorrow • Position versus Potential • Are your people in their next position or their last position?

18. Potential Points to Ponder Think back to the beginning of your career. • Did you have a vision for what you would be doing in your career at this point in your life? How accurate were you? Are you happy with any unexpected turns? • Did you have a boss along the way who saw your potential and worked with you to develop yourself to fulfill it? How did that person affect you personally and professionally? • How can you, as a leader, discover, identify and maximize the potential of your employees?

19. Ownership

20. The Power of Ownership • Clarity and alignment of our Mission, Vision and Values (M/V/V) • Everyone owns the M/V/V and speaks the same language • “We” vs. “They”; “Ours” vs. “Theirs” • Ownership is invited, never demanded – more caught than taught

21. Reflecting On Ownership • How invested are you to the KeHE’s unique identity? • Where would you put yourself on the spectrum of ownership? Resistance? Tolerance? Acceptance? Embracing? • If you are less than embracing, what would it take for you to grow in your personal ownership of KeHE?

22. Wisdom

23. Bythreemethodswemaylearn wisdom:first,byreflection,whichis noblest;second,byimitation,whichis easiest;andthird,byexperience,which isthemostbitter. - Confucius Chinese teacher, editor, politician, and philosopher Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value. - Louis L’Amour American Author of more than 105 books, essays and short stories

24. The Power of Wisdom • Wisdom is far more than information alone Experience + advice + information = Wisdom • Keep thinking of ways to find it and then find ways to SHARE it – Wisdom expires if not shared • Wisdom is providing advice, not giving orders or commands • Leaders have insights sharpened by education and tempered by experience to share with their collaborators.

25. Encouragement

26. en·cour·age·ment — noun to inspire someone with courage or confidence the expression of approval and support

27. Engagement Driver growth & recognition • ∆ Kenexa Norm

28. The Power of Encouragement • Everyone needs encouragement at some point - research shows that people are motivated to do their best when they receive encouragement • Coach versus “cop” or referee • When courage is infused by a leader, fear is dispelled. • Imagine the possibilities of your team if they are told and they believe there are no boundaries and no limits to what they can accomplish

29. Release

30. True leadership must be for the benefit of the followers, not to enrich the leader. - John C. Maxwell Christian author, speaker, and pastor with a focus on leadership Those who deny freedom to others do not deserve it for themselves. - Sidney Madwed American speaker, poet, lyricist and author

31. What Does Release Look Like? Authority Influence › Focused on today › Grows people into the leader’s mold › Downplay career advancement › Stifle promotion › Focused on tomorrow › Grows people into their personal potential › Enable career advancement › Celebrate promotion Release

32. The Power of Release • Research shows that companies that “grow” their own leaders outperform those who recruit leaders from the outside. • A POWER leader loves to ‘lose’ direct reports to promotion • It’s about cultivation, not control • Release brings POWER Leadership full circle – are your direct reports in their next position or their last position?

33. Discussion on Release • As a leader, how do you spot employees who are in their ultimate role versus those who are destined for other roles? • Is one more valuable than the other? Why or why not? • When you identify a person who has a future somewhere other than as part of your team, how do you express your commitment to helping them reach their potential? • How does it make you feel when someone on your team wants to leave to further their career?
