Leading Others
Leaders create an environment of involvement and commitment, engaging others in creating a future that will make them proud. Focusing on both the results and on how they are achieved, leaders:
Seek out differences in views, preferences and style.
See the potential for greatness in others (even when they may not see it themselves); nurture their strengths and enable them to act upon new possibilities.
Provide non-judgmental support (neither rescuing people from paradox and complexity, nor persecuting them for failure or uncertainty).
Build confidence and increased capacity for self-managed performance.
Develop roles, responsibilities, and structures that free people to achieve their goals.
Return decision-making authority to those closest to the work.
Create expectations of conduct that ennoble the spirit and generate forward motion.
Build celebration into the culture.
