What is Leadership?
“A good leader inspires others with confidence in him; a great
leader inspires them with confidence in themselves.”
– Chinese Proverb
Leadership is NOT something that you have or not.
Leadership IS something that you exercise or not.
If you exercise leadership, you are a leader.
Leadership is NOT reserved for the people at the top.
Leadership IS something everyone can do.
Management IS doing things right
Leadership IS doing the right things
…the art of mobilizing
others to want to
struggle for shared
aspirations.
- Jim Kouzes
Adaptable Leadership
Our natural or preferred leadership style is
not appropriate for all situations
Situational Leadership
Adaptable Leadership
Self and Others
►Before we can effectively lead others, we must first be a
leader to ourselves.
► In order to do this, we must be self-aware.
►Then we can learn to change our leadership styles to suit
different situations and personalities.
What is Situational Leadership?
Adaptable Leadership
Know yourself…
► Leaders are people who are able to express themselves fully.
► They know who they are, what their strengths and weaknesses
are, and how to fully deploy their strengths and compensate for
their weaknesses.
► They also know what they want, why they want it, and how to
communicate what they want to others, in order to gain
cooperation and support.
Warren Bennis
What is Situational Leadership?
Adaptable Leadership
Become yourself…
► Becoming an authentic leader is not easy. First you have to
understand yourself, because the hardest person you will ever have to
lead is yourself. Once you have an understanding of your authentic
self, you will find that leading others is much easier. Bill George
► Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming yourself. Pursue
your purpose and passion. Warren Bennis
► Purpose and passion journey together, as do being passionate and
being inspirational.
Jim Kouzes
► Become yourself and develop your unique style.
Peter Drucker
What is Situational Leadership?
You don’t know-it-all
…so don’t act like you do!
►Organizations benefit more from leaders
who take responsibility for what they
don't know than from leaders who
pretend to know it all

what you're good at while
acknowledging what you still have yet to
learn
