  10. When there is Good Leadership it SHOWS • Characteristics Good Leaders and Organizations with Leadership have • People feel significant ( they know their opinions count and matter) • People are part of a Community ( They support each other and know they are part of something important) • Learning and Competency Matter( Continuously seeking excellence) • Work and Environment is Exciting (Stimulated and self-satisfaction in their activities)

  11. Good Supervisors & Good Leaders NOT ALWAYS THE SAME • Good Supervisors 1.Work according to plans and schedules 2. Act in the present, based on the past 3. Emphasize knowledge and facts 4. Are analytical, objective and practical 5.Use given resources effectively 6.

  12. ASK YOURSELF • Is it possible to be a good leader and a good supervisor at the same time? • In what ways are you a Good Supervisor? • In what ways are you a Good Leader?

  13. JUST A THOUGHT • “Supervisors do Things Right!” • “Leaders do the Right Thing!”

  14. Having the Skills to LEAD • Leadership requires the understanding of the differences in people, and understanding what motivates them. And knowing how to lead different people with different motivations & behaviors

  15. Understanding the “Why” • Behavior comes from striving toward gratification and how we need to get gratification • There are two set of behavior patterns: Good Times & Bad Times Behavior can be predictable and uniform or predicable and varied

  16. Continuing with the “Why” • A personal weakness is over-using a strength. • The more you understand why others do what they do, the more successful YOU can be in building working relationships and finding leadership success by building on your strengths and the strength of others.

  17. QUESTIONS • What do you believe are the most important characteristics of leader? • What are some of the ways your strengths could be over-used and made a weakness? • What strengths do your preferences bring to you and or your organization?

  18. DO STRESS!!!! • “Gotcha”!!! • I mean the following “Stress” • STRESS ACTION!!! • STRESS LOGIC!!! • STRESS PEOPLE and THEIR UNIQUENESS!!! • STRESS THE “TEAM”!!!

  19. REMEMBER • Be Honest, Sincere and Empathetic • Use your Strengths • Lead by Example • Strive to continue being even a better LEADER every day!!! • Be Fair, Consistent , and True to yourself and them!!!

  20. Have you ever wonder why individuals RESIST to CHANGE…as a Leader you must be aware • Resistance goes up! When… • The purpose for the change is not clear • The targets of the change do not see a need for it • The targets are not involved in the planning and change • The Change is not clearly communicated • The cost too high, the reward too poor • Influential's are seen as not really supporting the change • Targets believe social relations and balance will be hurt • When resources ( time and money) are not available • Change is introduced to quick…or too slow, • Daily habits are interrupted • Past chances were poorly implemented with bad results • There is fear of failure, lack of trust and lack of confidence

  21. Resistance goes down! when… • Before the Announcement: • Think through the details • Think through winners and losers • Plan to compensate the losers, and build on the winners support The Announcement: • Reduce ambiguity, Increase clarity • Provide plenty of information • Talk about what will change an what will not change • Use many methods and settings for communicating and change • Provide and opportunity for the targets to discuss what the change will mean…not whether the change will happen • Communicate your commitment

  22. Making a Plan of Action • In closing take a minute and answer the following questions • What will you start doing? • What will you keep doing? • What will you STOP doing? • What will you think more about?

  23. Special Dedication • I dedicate this presentation to a women who was both a Good Supervisor and a Good Leader. Gina Orona Ruiz ( Former Executive Director of La Casa, INC.
