Leadership Development Models for Advisors and Administrators Tara Stopfel Warden NACADA Annual Conference 2014

Leadership in Advising  What do we teach advisors and administrators about leadership?

Leaders Eat Last  Simon Sinek (2014)  Biochemical underpinnings of leadership  Leadership is sacrifice – it is service  Highly effective organizations create trusting, safe work environments

Leaders Eat Last “Why Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe” TED Talk (March 2014)

Simon Sinek  “The cost of leadership is self-interest.”  “Leadership is a choice. It is not a rank.”  “Leaders have chosen to look out for the person to the right of them … and to the left of them. This is what a leader is.”  “If you get the environment right, every single one of us has the capacity for these remarkable things. And more importantly, others have that capacity too.”  “The only variable we can control is the environment inside the organization. And that’s where leadership matters, because it’s the leader that sets the tone.”

Simon Sinek  “When a leader makes the choice to put the safety and the lives of the people inside the organization first – to sacrifice their comforts and sacrifice the tangible results so that people remain, and feel safe and feel like they belong – remarkable things happen.”  “The reason we like Southwest Airlines is because they don’t fear their leaders.”  “When the people feel safe and protected by the leadership in the organization, the natural reaction is to trust and cooperate.”
