TEAM LEADERS' WORKSHOP (con't)

But in voluntary organizations, such as churches, the only thing that works is leadership ‘in its purest form’. Leaders only have their influence to aid them.

A transformational leader develops the characteristics of a leader of influence.

What are the ten characteristics of an influencer?

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell

• A person of influence has Integrity with people
• A person of influence Nurtures other people
• A person of influence has Faith in people
• A person of influence Listens to people
• A person of influence Understands people
• A person of influence Enlarges people
• A person of influence Navigates for other people
• A person of influence Connects with people
• A person of influence Empowers people
• A person of influence Reproduces other influencers

How to positively impact the lives of others becoming a person of influence. (John C. Maxwell & Jim Dornan)

1. Think big – plan well
2. Achieve quality – celebrate success
3. Work hard
4. Support honest, passionate people and give opportunity for advancement
5. What gets measured and focused on gets done
6. Use a carrot rather than a stick

Bill Hybels has written a very good book on “Courageous Leadership” and in that book he relates to ten different styles of leadership, he states that “certain leadership styles fit better than others with specific needs. I am increasingly convinced that highly effective leaders often impact not only because they are highly gifted but also because their leadership styles mesh perfectly with specific needs. It follows then that discovering and developing your unique leadership style is another major key to your leadership effectiveness.”

I have concluded that to be in the position of building leaders and finding the right people for our organization to achieve the goals we have set, that we need to be well read and understand (if not a master) in the different types of personalities types and leadership styles so we can place the right people in the right positions.

THE TEN LEADERSHIP STYLES

1. The visionary leadership style
What distinguishes the visionary leader is that he or she has a crystal clear picture in mind of what the future could hold. Such a leader casts powerful vision and has indefatigable enthusiasm for turning those visions into reality.

2. The directional leadership style
The directional style of leadership doesn’t get much press, but it is exceedingly important. The strength of this leader is his or her uncanny, God-given ability to choose the right path for an organization as it approaches a critical intersection.

3. The strategic leadership style
Strategic leaders have the God-given ability to take an exciting vision and break it down into a series of sequential, achievable steps. This gift of leadership allows an organization to march intentionally toward the actualization of its mission.
