  1. Leading Teams • Leading a college team is not the same as managing a college team. • Consider the following story adapted from Stephen Covey ‘The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’. Simon & Schuster

  2. Leading Teams • A group of workers and their leaders are set a task of clearing a road through a dense jungle on a remote island to get to the coast where an estuary provides a perfect site for a port.

  3. Leading Teams • The leaders organise the labour into efficient units and monitor the distribution and use of resources and capital assets – progress is excellent. The leaders continue to record, monitor and evaluate progress, making adjustments along the way to ensure the progress is maintained and efficiency increased wherever possible.

  4. Leading Teams • Then, one day amidst all the hustle and bustle and activity, one person climbs up a nearby tree. The person surveys the scene from the top of the tree.

  5. Leading Teams • And shouts down to the assembled group below… • “You are going the wrong way!” • “Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things” (Warren Bennis and Peter Drucker) • Effective leadership means getting the direction right.
