James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner - The Leadership Challenge ...
Throughout our book, The Leadership Challenge (3rd ed.), we tell stories of ordinary people who've gotten extraordinary things done. We talk about men and women, young and old, from a variety of organizations, public and private, government and third sector, high-tech and low-tech, small and large, schools and professional services. Chances are you haven't heard of most of them. They're not famous people or mega-stars. They're people who might live next door or work in the next cubicle. They're people just like you. We focus on leaders like this because we firmly believe that leadership is about relationships, credibility, and what people do.
Leadership is a relationship between those who aspire to lead and those who chose to follow. Sometimes the relationship is one-to-many. Sometimes it's one-to-one. But regardless of whether the number is one or one thousand, leadership is a relationship.
It's nonsense to assume that leadership is genetic. There's no hard evidence to support that assumption, and worse, it dooms every one of us to accept our limitations as our destiny. The truth is that leadership is an observable set of skills and abilities that is useful whether one is in the executive suite or on the front line, on Wall Street or Main Street. And any skill can be strengthened, honed, and enhanced if we have the motivation and desire, the practice and feedback, the role models and coaching, and the support and recognition.
In our classes and workshops we ask people to share a story about a Personal-Best Leadership Experience—a time when they set their own individual standard of excellence. From this exercise we hope they'll discover for themselves the practices of exemplary leadership. We have another objective as well—we want them to discover the power that lies within each one of us to make a difference.
The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, Credibility Is the Foundation of Leadership, Leadership is a Relationship, Challenge Provides the Opportunity for Greatness, Leadership is Everyone's Business, The Legacy You Leave Is the Life You Lead, Caring Is at the Heart of Leadership
