3. What is Leadership? "The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.“ Kenneth Blanchard "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.“ Jack Welch “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.“ Steve Jobs “Leadership is the ability to hide your panic from others." Lao Tzu "Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.“ Peter Drucker "Become the kind of leader that people would follow voluntarily; even if you had no title or position.“ Brian Tracy “Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.“ Sheryl Sandberg “Leaders should be visible, accessible and approachable, and never stop learning.“ Richard Branson

6. Preparing for Leadership What does leadership mean to you? Produce your own definition or find one that reflects your personal philosophy Common myths about leadership How might you respond? What essential qualities do good leaders have?

7. Leadership qualities Decisiveness Empathy Accountability Confidence Optimism Honesty Vision Adaptability

8. Opinion: Authenticity & Leadership I’ve heard a lot about the importance of authenticity. But what does it mean? Isn’t it insulting to tell people to be themselves. I disagree. Your values and principles play a big part in how you respond to events and situations personally and professionally. It’s about showing your team you’re human and having empathy. It just gives people an opportunity to exploit you and take advantage. Any sign of weakness will be seized upon.

9. Leadership styles Authoritarian leader - Autocratic Participative leader - Democratic Delegative leader - Laissez-faire

16. Scenario: Andy’s style  I'm not worried about what my team does or how they do it, as long as I'm not held responsible for their mistakes. What style is this? Country Club Management Team Management Middle of the Road Management Authority-Compliance Management Impoverished Management

17. Do Think about what leadership means to you - how does this impact on others? Assess what leadership qualities and attributes you already have and what else you may need to be a great leader Use different techniques to explore your own style of leadership (such as the Managerial Grid model) Be adaptable - different situations can demand new thinking and another approach

18. Don’t Assume that all you need is the job title to be a great leader Be too rigid - there are many kinds of leaders with different qualities so play to your strengths Set unrealistic expectations – “You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing and falling over” (Richard Branson) Try to micro-manage everything and everyone - good leaders empower and give the team autonomy and ownership
