Part 1 Lessons of Leadership: What We Know from the Last Four Decades Carl L. Harshman

A. What We Don’t Know Warren Bennis, an international guru on leadership concludes, says that after decades of the study of leadership effectiveness, that while various efforts have brought some insights to an understanding of the process of leadership as well as to the traits and behaviors of leaders, but we are far from an understanding. He laments that: "Never have so many labored so long to say so little. "

Lesson #1 – Organization Life Cycle Where you are in the Life Cycle determines the kind of leadership you need. Stable Prime Adolescence Aristocracy Early Bureaucracy (Witch Hunt) Go-go Bureaucracy Infancy Courtship Death

Lesson #2 – All in It Together Strategy, Culture, and Leadership are deeply interconnected. To be effective, we must align leadership with Strategy and Culture Business Strategy Culture Leadership

Lesson #3 – Leaders & Strategy “Strategy without leadership goes nowhere; Leadership without Strategy has nowhere to go. ” Carl L. Harshman Customer Focus Business Acumen Innovation Strategic Perspective Establishing Stretch Goals Analytical & Problem Solving Skills Communication

Lesson #4 – Leaders & Culture Leaders—their values, fundamental beliefs, and behaviors—are a powerful force in the creation and maintenance of organizational culture. “. . . leaders create and change cultures, while managers and administrators live within them. ” Edgar Schein Organizational Culture and Leadership

Lesson #5 - Competencies There appear to be about 28 core competencies that account for the majority of effectiveness in leaders. “No one knows what specific challenges we will face in 2 O 2 O, but we have a strong idea of what the leaders who can meet those challenges will look like and how they will get to be that way. ” Michael M. Lombardo and Robert W. Eichinger The Leadership Machine

Lesson #6 – Leaders’ Versatility From Latin “versatilis, ” turning easily, having complementary competencies and being able to shift between them at the right time and at the right level is critical. “Master managers have that kind of flexible, agile form where they can pivot on a dime, from holding a blue sky session to tackling an immediate supply chain problem, from forcing a tough issue that is painful to acknowledge to containing conflict and bringing people together on a divisive issue. ” Robert E. Kaplan & Robert B. Kaiser Developing Versatile Leadership

Lesson #7 – Integrity & Ethics Every major theory and model of leadership puts integrity at the center of the milieu of what is critical for success of leaders and the organization! “[Integrity] is the unity that emerges when a particular orientation becomes so firmly a part of group life that it colors and directs a wide variety of attitudes, decisions, and forms of organization and does so at many levels of experiences. The building of integrity is part of what we have called the "institutional embodiment of purpose, " and its protection is a major function of leadership. Wilkins, A. K. Developing Corporate Character

Lesson #8 – The Pipeline Being good at one level of an organization does not mean you will be good at the next level of the organization. “. . . Leadership entails a series of passages that come with very specific values, skills, and time requirements; leaders must not skip passages as they take on more responsibility and influence in an organization or they will end up working at the wrong level and will clog the pipeline. ” Charan, Drotter, & Noel The Leadership Pipeline

Lesson #9–Emotional Intelligence (EQ) may turn out to be as important as intellectual intelligence (IQ) in determining the effectiveness of leaders. “Emotional Intelligence—especially at the highest levels of a company—is the sine qua non for leadership. Without it, a person can have first-class training, an incisive mind, and an endless supply of good ideas, but he still won't make a great leader. ” Daniel Goleman Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence (from the work of Daniel Goleman) Self-Awareness Self-Management • Emotional Self-Awareness • Accurate Self-Assessment • Self-Confidence Emotional Intelligence Social Awareness • Empathy • Organizational Awareness • Service Orientation ei ei • Self-Control • Trustworthiness • Conscientiousness • Adaptability • Achievement Orientation • Initiative Competency Model Social Skills • Developing Others • Leadership & Influence • Communication • Change Catalyst • Conflict Management • Building Bonds • Teamwork & Collaboration

Lesson #10 – Learning Leaders Several aspects of learning indicate that ongoing learning is correlated with good leadership and that effective leaders tend to learn more from experience that less effective leaders. “ Better learners. . . consistently engaged in effective leadership practices more frequently than those in the low learner category. ” Lillas Brown & Barry Pozner Leadership & Organizational Development Journal

Leadership and Performance To be effective, leaders have to perform. How we define performance and how we predict and manage it is the key to the future. “Leadership is ultimately about producing results. ” Jack Zenger The Extraordinary Leader
