    teams (TMTs)

Leadership Myths 4 5

    experience less bounded rationality in decision
    making and more responsibility, i.e. you have
    less control)

Leadership Myth 6
  • I cant reach my potential if Im not the top
    leader
  • Most people will never make it to the top of an
    organization
  • Strive to reach your potential, not the top of an
    organization
  • To thy own self be true, (Shakespeare)

    ineffective leader
  • Take responsibility for developing your
    relationship with your leader
  • Cater to your leaders strengths
  • Affirm your leaders strengths

9
Challenge 4 The Ego Challenge
  • Your ethics decide whether you are a socialized
    or personalized leader
  • Enjoy the process, dont be too goal oriented

10
Challenge 7 The Influence Challenge
  • If leadership is influence, then what do you have
    to do or possess to be influential?
  • Care about others
  • Exhibit strong positive character
  • Perform competently
  • Deal with others in a consistent manner
  • Be committed
  • Are there others?

11
Leading-Up Principles
12
Lead-Up Principle 1
  • If your leader must continually expend energy
    managing you, then you will be perceived as
    someone who drains time and energy (Maxwell, p.
    86)

13
Lead-Up Principle 1 Continued
  • Lead yourself exceptionally well
  • Emotions
  • Time
  • Priorities
  • Energy
  • Thinking
  • Words
  • Personal Life

14
Lead-Up Principle 2
  • Even if the leader you work for never turns
    around to lift you up in return, someone who has
    seen you doing that lifting will extend a hand to
    you. Just remember Its not how heavy the load
    is. Its how you carry it, (Maxwell, p. 97)

15
Lead-Up Principle 2 Continued
  • Lighten Your Leaders Load
  • Do your own job well first
  • Find solutions to problems
  • Tell leaders what they need and not want to hear
  • Go the second mile
  • Stand up for your leader
  • Stand in for your leader
  • Ask how you can lift the leaders load

16
Lead-Up Principle 3
  • The key is being willing to do something because
    it matters, not because it will get you noticed,
    (Maxwell, p. 107).

17
Lead-Up Principle 3 Continued
  • Be Willing to Do What Others Wont
  • Commitment
  • Priorities
  • Take responsibility
  • Go above and beyond
  • Work-life balance?
  • Generational paradigm difference?

18
Lead-Up Principle 8
  • All leaders are looking for people who can step
    up and make a difference when it matters. When
    they find such people, they come to rely on them
    and are inevitably influenced by them, (Maxwell,
    p. 145)

19
Lead-Up Principle 8 Continued
  • Become a Go-To Player
  • Produce under pressure
  • Produce with scarce resources
  • Produce when momentum is low
  • Produce when the load is heavy
  • Produce when the leader is absent
  • Produce when time is limited

20
Overarching Concepts Cont.

    being lead
  • Learn to help yourself through leadership (i.e.
    synergy through team-work)
  • Lose your entitlement attitude
  • Examine your motivations and keep your ego in
    check

21
