Leadership

Definition

• Leading someone means sucessfully inviting him into performing within a play or help to create a new one. (Theater metaphor)

• There is not the “right leadership“. There is successfull leadership. It is leadership, that is carrying forward culture and/or contibutes to build up!

• There is leadership, that stands for defined values (or not).

Leadership stiles

• 1000+ ways and styles to accomplish leadership.

• 2 directors of dance theatres Pina Bausch – Wuppertal: attention, invitation and space for unfolding and inspiration (little script).

• John Neumeier Hamburg: Designing and close rehearsal (much script).

• No matter how: In the end the dancers have to do it and not the choreographer.

Context Bound Leadership

Always consider context of leadership

• Leadership addresses particular dimensions of creating reality.

• Leadership plays together with other factors of creating reality.

• Theatre metaphor (stages, requisites but also conditions of rehearsal and performance).

To lead successfully requires integration of many aspects!

Leadership-relationship

• Smallest unit of leadership is the relationship. • Competent leadership is a quality of a relationship.• All involved need competence also the subordinate (ex.

First time show jumping). • Leadership is as good as done together complementary.

Leadership-System = net of leadership-relationships.

In the end the whole leadership-chain.

Development of leadershipsystem

Horizontal + Vertical Is there shared or at least complementary reality?

• Yo share realities and horizons?• You at least know about those of the others?• You can relate to each others realities?• You can translate stimuli of controlling?• Is the message running through all parts of the chain?• Leadership is as good as partners “reach each other“

Avoiding leadership

• By formal goals and request to reach them pressure, control, standardization

• By abstinence from leadership “the best do know what to do!“

Desintegration (top artists require top directors)• Uncontrolled Decentralization: missing relationships

between levels (barriers) Aquaplaning effect

Strategic leadership

Functional vs. Strategic Leadership(director of the day vs. director of new plays)Without a functioning directing of the day by day business stategic leadership will not work.

Strategic Leadership Knows to Design + Knows to CommunicateDoing the script and directing the show go hand in hand, but not necessarily to one person. Missing or lousy scripts bring either arbitrary (beliebig) plays or need oversized directing.
