Be a Role Model People take more notice of what you do than what you tell them to do Practise what you preach in everyday behaviour How you are has the greatest influence on how others are Example: Richard Branson & Fun

Be Self Aware Work from the inside out Manage yourself before you manage others Be aware of your temperament Recognize your own strengths and weaknesses Know how to bring out the best in yourself

Be a Learner Recognize that you are continually learning and developing Don’t pretend to know it all Be open to different ideas “Seek out surprises, relish the unpredictable” – Margaret Wheatley

Delight in Change Work with change, not resist it Change is the only constant in the future Look for Change “Leadership is learning to love change” – Tom Peters

Be a Visionary Having a clear vision of where you are going provides a framework for change Always keep an ideal picture in mind Example: Bill Gates & Microsoft

Have full awareness of current reality Have a double vision To successfully work towards an ideal, you need to be very clear about where you are now “Creative Tension” – The tension between current reality and the ideal that can produce active development Don’t Perceive the Gap as a reason to lower your goals

Keep a high standard of ethics and values Clarify for yourself a high standard of ethics and values This is the driving force for shaping your approach to leadership Integrity should be first in your checklist of qualities and skills for leadership

Maintain Systemic Thinking Develop a different way of thinking Systemic thinking means being aware of how processes work Separate causes from symptoms This level of thinking takes aware the blame game The system makes the people Gives a longer-term perspective

Communicate Well Doesn’t mean making slick presentations It means building relationships with others Convey your message clearly and congruently in ways others can understand Show genuine interest or concern If said with feeling the message gets through, even if you are not terribly accurate

Think Positively Have a positive view of things It is easy to get caught in negative thinking – it seems to make you look better The Leader looks at what is possible, rather than the constraints Believes that things can change for the better and finds ways of making it happen Have a sense of humour Keep things in perspective even when they don’t go according to plan

Have Enthusiasm “Enthusiastic” originally meant “having God within” It is endearing and infectious Have a genuine belief in what you are doing or saying, and a genuine will to make it successful Enthusiasm engages others at an emotional level rather than an intellectual level This is what makes the difference between most leaders

Be Real You do not need to develop this characteristic! You are already You!! Recognise that none of us is perfect and have some fun with it You have a unique permutation of qualities that make who you are Don’t put up a front
