TWO TYPES OF LEADERS

• INFLUENCE LEADERS Leading people over whom we
  have no authority.
• LEGITIMATE OR ASSIGNED LEADERS have authority
  over the people we are leading, and have the
  responsibility to get the job done.

8
ROLE OF THE LEADER

• TO ADD VALUE TO OTHER PEOPLE

NOTE Not about power or control, its about
inspiring.

• A leaders nemesis Our own sense of
  self-importance.

9
PHILOSOPHYOF LEADERSHIP
LEADERSHIP
Character
Competence

• Leadership is a blend of competence and character.

10
LEADERS

• Ive learned that Leaders who are takers fail,
  and Leaders who are givers succeed.

11

• LEADERS OF CHARACTER
• Courageously contribute under even the most
  trying circumstances.
• Act unselfishly and demand more from himself or
  herself than others would expect.
• Defy adversity by doing what she/he believes is
  right in spite of fear.
• He/she do the right thing because it is the right
  thing to do.

12
CHARACTER

• Today we know better than to believe that
  Character does not count, or is not important.
• Experience tells us that negative expressions
  of Character such as dishonesty, or greed have
  real costs.
• But, what does that word Character really mean?

13
CHARACTER

• Good CHARACTER is the life of good conduct --
  right conduct in relation to other persons and in
  relation to ones self. (Aristotle)
• Good CHARACTER requires the UNDERSTANDING of
  what is the right, fair, or good, thing to do in
  a given circumstance and the COURAGE to act in
  accordance with ones understanding of what is
  right, fair, or good.

14
COURAGE

• Physical Courage The quality of mind or spirit
  which enables us to face up to potential physical
  danger by doing bold and brave things.

15
COURAGE

• MORAL COURAGE The quality of mind or spirit
  which causes us to make the tougher right
  decision over the easier wrong decision.
• MORAL COURAGE enables us to rise above
  difficulty to reach new heights as a leader.

16
REAL COURAGE

• Spc. Ross McGinnis 19 years old
• Cpl. Jason Dunham 22 years old
• P.O. Michael Monsoor 25 years old
• Sgt. Rafael Peralta
• Sgt. James Witkowski
• A QUESTION WOULD YOU FALL ON A GRENADE FOR
  YOUR TEAMMATES??

17
ETHICS and CHARACTER

• Ethics the systematic general science of right
  and wrong conduct, i.e. a reflective analysis of
  moral experience generally expressed as a Code of
  Ethics or the standards expected.

18
CHARACTER

• Character refers to the actual patterns or
  expressions of conduct, which can be positive
  expressions of character or negative expressions.

19
CHARACTER
PERSONAL THOUGHTS, THOUGHTS,
ACTIONS
WORDS
CHARACTER
NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE
HABITS
Our CHARACTER is not a thing of favor or chance,
but the natural result of continued effort in
RIGHT THINKING, the effect of long association
with RIGHT THOUGHTS.
20
Developing Our Character

• Plato whose philosophy focused on ideas, and
  ideals, was inclined to think that CHARACTER can
  be taught by reading and studying.

21
Developing Our Character

• Aristotle disagreed. He reasoned that moral
  virtue is acquired only through practice. We
  become
• just by doing just acts
• brave by doing brave acts.
• we learn virtue by following rules of good
  behavior, hearing stories of virtuous people, and
  imitating virtuous models.

22
LEADERS

• Leading through vivid, living, personal example
  is still the best way to inspire followers.
• There is power in personal example.

23
DEFINITIONINFLUENCING

• Having the ability to change the ATTITUDE or
  behavior of others.

24
ATTITUDE

• The Carnegie Institute analyzed the records of
  10,000 people and concluded that 15 of success
  is due to technical training. The other 85 is
  due to personality and the primary personality
  trait identified by the research is attitude.

25
ATTITUDE (Cont.)

• 94 of all FORTUNE 500 executives attribute
  their success more to ATTITUDE than to any other
  basic ingredient.

26
BAD ATTITUDE

• Bad Attitude comes from self-centeredness or
  self-pity.
• ( Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!)
• Pity is one of the noblest emotions available
  to human beings, but self-pity is possibly the
  most ignoble.
• Self-pity is an incapacity that severely
  distorts our perception of reality.

27
A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

• Changing bad attitudes doesnt require us to
  think less of ourselves, but to think about
  ourselves less. In other words to let go of our
  egos.

28
INFLUENCE LEADERSHIP

• INFLUENCE LEADERSHIP has less to do with POSITION
  than it does with disposition - or our ATTITUDE.
• INFLUENCE LEADERS understand that the RIGHT
  ATTITUDE will set the RIGHT ATMOSPHERE, which
  enables the RIGHT RESPONSES from others.

29
INFLUENCE LEADERSHIP (Cont.)

• In other words, our ATTITUDE makes the
  difference in influencing others.
• A QUESTION TO ASK OURSELVES.
• ATTITUDES ARE CONTAGIOUS, IS MINE WORTH
  CATCHING?
