| Leadership Mindset -- quite an interesting idea |
Has your agency followed the same leadership paradigm since it was founded? Have you explored new ideas, new thinking and new expectations on leadership? In building for the future and hoping to engage those new donors who are pretty young right now -- do you wonder what successful leadership might really look like to them?
There is plenty of information on leadership models on the web. Here is one with a different perspective. It tells us that leadership is a shared, relational process and moves away from the dominant American model of leadership deeply rooted in individualism.
Leadership for a New Era is changing the understanding of leadership from the traditional individual model to a process model through which individuals and groups identify and act on behalf of a larger purpose.
Traditional approaches to leadership and leadership development assume that training an individual leader with appropriate knowledge and skills will result in an increase of organizational capacity which will in turn lead to better community results.
If you have some time -- take a look at the site -- it's interesting and in our new age of global thinking, it makes sense. It is titled the Leadership Mindset for a good reason.
Cheers,
