Dimensions of Authentic leadership

1.  Understanding your purpose

2.  Practicing solid values 3.  Establishing connected

relationships 4.  Demonstrating self-

discipline 5.  Leading with heart

3.  Authentic leaders exert influence. People are drawn to their vision and their values.

4. Authentic leaders have impact. They are able to create real and lasting change. 5. Authentic leaders exercise integrity. Integrity—or the lack thereof—ultimately determines the quality of a person’s impact.

UNDERSTANDING  YOUR  PURPOSE  AUTHENTIC  LEADERSHIP  

Your Leadership Emerges from Your Life Story §  People attach insights to their life experiences §  When people tell life stories they gain clarity

about who they are  

PRACTICING  SOLID  VALUES  

Richard Barrett creates a compelling narrative about why values-driven organisations are the most successful organisations on the planet. Understanding what you and people value—is the key to creating a high performing organisation. When you support people in satisfying their needs, they respond with high levels of engagement and willingly bring their commitment and creativity to their work.

VALUES  Values are deeply held views about what is important.

They represent the things that really matter to an individual and/or company

ADAPTIVE  LEADERSHIP  LEADERSHIP  STYLES  

Harvard University - Ronald Heifetz

Adaptive Leadership is purposeful evolution in real time

Adaptive Leadership is knowing how to:

ü  Lead in times of crisis and chaos  

ü  Lead when you don’t completely understand the problem (let alone the solution!)

ü  Lead change when faced with uncertainty and resistance 

ü  Face challenges when there are no obvious answers

How adaptive is your organisation?

Thinking and leading like a futurist is not about having access to a crystal ball, or about coming up with wild projections about the future. It is about being able to spot the trends that are already shaping the world, and confidently predict how these will create threats and opportunities, within the next business planning cycle.

What is one thing you’ve learned today that you can adapt to your leadership

role? How will you do it? Why is it important?
