  9. Cultures and Coalitions“I Can Also Imagine a Day When Big Egos and Snakes Are Eliminated From Promotion Lists, No Matter How Smart, Clever, Hard Working, or Well Educated They Are …” -- John Kotter Authors Key Points • Culture should be created so that it is adaptive and automatically aligns an organization's interests with those of employees, investors, patrons, and other key constituencies • The high complexity and high rates of change due to globalization make leadership increasingly important with that role being concerned with building vision, providing inspiration and building networks of relationships By Sarah Aldridge, Tara Pehl, Matthew Lee Romero, Harley Ray Wolff

  10. Cultures and Coalitions Our thoughts • Organizations of today seem to be lacking a culture producing leadership that will be required for the fast pace change of the 21st Century • Leadership will need to continuously perform comprehensive analysis determining how organizational performance has been effected, both positively and negatively, by culture By Sarah Aldridge, Tara Pehl, Matthew Lee Romero, Harley Ray Wolff

Consistent Ideas Integration of the ArticlesNotes May Be Viewed at This Point by Performing a Right Mouse Click and Picking Speaker Notes • Globalization in the 21st Century will create a confusing and chaotic culture requiring adaptation to change by leadership • Leaders will be required to develop and clearly articulate a vision with a strategy for achieving it • Currently, organizations are over-managed working through formal structures, policies, procedures and rules attempting to create efficiency • Leaders are communicators generating trust and demonstrating competence and constancy By Sarah Aldridge, Tara Pehl, Matthew Lee Romero, Harley Ray Wolff

Each of these elements must also have leadership and vision in tune with the larger organization By Sarah Aldridge, Tara Pehl, Matthew Lee Romero, Harley Ray Wolff

  14. Key Concepts Integration of the Articles • The great leaders of the 21st century will be externally focused. They will truly care about customers, employees and stockholders. They will not be the arrogant bureaucratic managers that were successful the past 200 years • Leaders must create clear and motivating visions based on the reality of the organization. They must communicate the vision constantly, and delegate the authority to act on the vision to leaders at every level of the organization By Sarah Aldridge, Tara Pehl, Matthew Lee Romero, Harley Ray Wolff

  17. Integration of the Articles Our thoughts • The principles outlined by Bennis and Kotter: vision, communication, external focus and delegation are tools in the process of leadership.

Leaders must lead according to needs of the organization By Sarah Aldridge, Tara Pehl, Matthew Lee Romero, Harley Ray Wolff

  18. Integration of the Articles Our thoughts • Leaders of the future will have to manage change by putting the people who work for them in difficult chaotic and stressful situations. It will no longer be the leaders role to make the job performer feel comfortable in the job. The leader of the future will stimulate adaptation and creativity in the face of change by exposing the organization to the discomfort of reality. By Sarah Aldridge, Tara Pehl, Matthew Lee Romero, Harley Ray Wolff
