THE RHYTHM OF LEADERSHIP Jessica Fredricks TRST, Polk County Fine Arts

THE PULSE Pulse = foundation = values What is the purpose? Bass note = anchor, the place where we come together Do you trust those around you to support the pulse of your organization?

THE LAW OF SOLID GROUND Trust is the foundation of leadership How does a leader build trust? By exemplifying: Competence Connection Character

WE’RE BETTER TOGETHER Law of the Catalyst: teams need people who make things happen Teams need people with diverse skills…(instruments as personality types) How do you let your people know you value them? Leader’s job is to take all these personalities and channel their energy and talent in the right direction How does your team react when things go wrong?

“ ” LISTENING IS A CHOICE. WHEN I LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE MORE THAN MYSELF, I KNOW HOW TO RESPOND AND SUPPORT THEM IN A BETTER WAY. Victor Wooten, The Music Lesson

THE EYES HAVE IT Parameters: What can I contribute to the group that supports the group while still leaving space for others to contribute? How did that feel? Was there a time when the pulse was shaky? Did we recover? Why or why not? Leadership benefits? What kinds of things prevent us from connecting with others?

THE LAW OF THE LID Raise your leadership level by going beyond your comfort zone! Support our team Lead with confidence Make a connection Team Guidelines: Listen, Leave Space

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION What was your biggest learning today? How can you apply it?
