TEAM LEADERS' WORKSHOP (con't)
These leaders enthusiastically dig in to uncover the original mission and the cause of the mission drift. They re-evaluate personnel, strategy, and values. They repeatedly meet with team members to help them figure out where the “old” went wrong and what the “new” should look like.
10. The Bridge-building leadership style
Bridge-building leaders make important contributions to large organizations
and educational institutions because they have the unique ability to bring
together under a single leadership umbrella a wide range of constituent
groups. This enables a complex organization to stay focused on a single
mission.
The unique gift that Bridge-building leaders bring to this feat is enormous flexibility. They are diplomats who possess a supernaturally inspired ability to compromise and negotiate. They are specially gifted to listen, understand, and think outside of the box.
CREATING A CLIMATE FOR POTENTIAL LEADERS
The leader’s toughest challenge: Creating a climate for potential leaders.
Those leaders, who believe in our ability, do more than stimulate us – they create an atmosphere in which it becomes easier for us to succeed. Creating an environment that will attract leaders is vital to any organization. Creating an environment is the responsibility of the leaders. They must be active; they must generate activity that is productive; and they must encourage, create, and command changes in the organization. They must create a climate in which potential leaders will thrive.
The leaders in any organization must be the environmental change agents. They must be more like thermostats than thermometers. At first glance, a person could confuse these two instruments, as both are capable of
measuring heat; however, they are really quite different, how. A thermometer is passive; it records the temperature of its environment but can do nothing to change that environment. A thermostat is an active instrument, it determines what the environment will be; it effects change in order to create a climate.
The attitude of the leader, coupled with a positive atmosphere in the organization, can entice people to accomplish great things. Consistent accomplishment generates momentum. Many times momentum is the only difference between a winning, positive growth climate and a loosing, negative growth climate.
Don’t delegate - empower!
The next time you find it difficult to adjust the environment in your organization, keep in mind this simple fact from the laws of physics. Water boils at 212 degrees, but at 211 degrees, it is still just hot water. One extra degree, an increase of less than one half of one percent, can make the difference between a pot of languishing liquid and bubbling caldron of power. One degree can create a full head of steam – enough power to move a train weighing tons. That one-degree is usually momentum. Leaders in some organizations don’t recognize the importance of creating a climate conducive to building potential leaders; they don’t understand how it works.
Before people will want to connect with your team or they will need to know we care about them, how do we do this? We need to Connect – Communicate – then this shows we Care. Once they are on our team, we need to Care – Communicate – Connect.
