Manual The How To of Leadership and Management (The How To Series Book 6)

A leader leads based on strengths, not titles. The best managers consistently allow different leaders to emerge and inspire their teammates and themselves!

Sometimes a project is a long series of obstacles and opportunities coming at you at high speed, and you need every ounce of your collective hearts and minds and skill sets to get through it. This is why the military style of top-down leadership is never effective in the fast-paced world of adventure racing or, for that matter, our daily lives which is really one big, long adventure, hopefully! Not only do the greatest teammates allow different leaders to consistently emerge based on their strengths, but also they realize that leadership can and should be situational, depending on the needs of the team.

Sometimes a teammate needs a warm hug. Sometimes the team needs a visionary, a new style of coaching, someone to lead the way or even, on occasion, a kick in the bike shorts. For that reason, great leaders choose their leadership style like a golfer chooses his or her club, with a calculated analysis of the matter at hand, the end goal and the best tool for the job. Goleman and his team completed a three-year study with over 3, middle-level managers.

Imagine how much money and effort a company spends on new processes, efficiencies, and cost-cutting methods in an effort to add even one percent to bottom-line profitability, and compare that to simply inspiring managers to be more kinetic with their leadership styles. Here are the six leadership styles Goleman uncovered among the managers he studied, as well as a brief analysis of the effects of each style on the corporate climate:.

Ask Yourself These 5 Questions Before Deciding On A Leadership Style Conversely, a leader can be anyone on the team who has a particular talent, who is creatively thinking out of the box and has a great idea, who has experience in a certain aspect of the business or project that can prove useful to the manager and the team.

The most successful endeavors all follow the same general trajectory: No matter the project, everything can be achieved following this general guideline.

But the exact thing that can create global companies, solve impossible problems, and bring ideas to life is also the same reason why so many companies fail. That thing is us. So how do we optimize collaboration? And how do we create a culture of empathy when all we can see about everyone around us is our differences?

In fact, everything you currently believe is valuable is simply a byproduct of you, as a leader, creating an environment where success is inevitable. But to achieve this state, organisations need to approach people, leadership, hierarchy, management and delivery very differently.

Human systems and Agile environments are at their very best, non-linear and fluid. Loosely coupled networks replace rigid structures and reporting lines. Traditional management is simply ineffective and counter-productive in this space. We need a fundamentally new approach to people dynamics to succeed. Part of that journey is embracing extreme leadership. I am a professional trainer and coach specialising in Agile practices. In these industries, I have been responsible for building and leading teams in the delivery and support of customer value primarily using Agile frameworks.

I have discovered through this journey that true agility has nothing to with frameworks and processes. True agility is about people, and more importantly, about how people interact with each other.

How do we create a culture that self-assesses and corrects over time? How do we ensure that the learned behaviours we pass on are those that we truly value?

Change Leadership Styles

I love helping people to discover new ways of thinking, learning and relearning. How can we improve the end to end delivery of value together? How do we embark on our own unique journey while embracing the vital elements of respect, focus and simplicity? I ask these questions constantly as we strive to build cohesive and collaborative teams: Magic is formed when people are encouraged to be creative, expressive and collectively responsible.

How can this be? When it comes to taking over a new team or appointing new leaders, just what data can you rely on? What sort of information flows through your team? How do your internal relationships function? Think of what you could learn from such maps. Using sociometric explorations, we will guide you through the theory of mapping, providing a practical guide and descriptive examples from and person organizations.

Nothing is impossible, we just haven't found the solution yet. In each part of the presentation we discuss one of the deadly sins. For each sin, I will present a behaviour that we can observe in leaders' work related with this sin and a cognitive bias that makes us, as human, to behave that way. Please find details of each part of the presentation. Pride — we tend to think we know more than we actually do. This is caused by the illusion of knowledge. The learning is that some of our decisions may be based on opinions rather than facts. Greed — we tend to pick the most interesting work and lose sight of our team.

This may not work due to cheerleader effect. The learning is we may achieve less than we could when we work alone. Lust — we want everything, forgetting to ask ourselves why we actually need it. The learning is that we may introduce new tool or processes etc. Envy — we prefer our own solutions - the ones we proposed.

In the discussion we are affected by confirmation bias and look for arguments and give them a greater value that agree with our opinions. The learning here is that we may choose worse solution only because we are the author. Gluttony — we tend to propose more and more new things. The learning is that we may use worse solutions only because they are ours. Anger — we get angry in work, but we really look at the big picture due to deflection to the result effect.

As humans we tend to evaluate things only basing on the effect, omitting entire context. The learning is that we may make decisions not based on full information. Sloth — we are lazy and we choose the same ways all over again. This happens due to well-travelled road effect. The learning is that we may achieve no results using the same way again an again. At the end of the presentation, I show that these wrong behaviours can be changed to good ones providing examples. This set of good behaviours can be a very good foundation to build an organisation culture supporting agility, autonomy and employee satisfaction.
