The Truth About Leadership - Part 5

Focusing on the Future sets Leaders apart

This chapter argues that leaders are set apart from ordinary average everyday people because they have a vision about the future and act on it.  This point is true; it does set different types of leaders apart.  There are those that dream about a better future, but don’t act on it. There are those that haven’t even thought about a better future, but are just responding to needs of others.  And then there are others that do what is suggested by the title of this chapter, “Leaders look long term”.

However, just because you’re not looking 500 years into the future doesn’t mean that you’re not a leader.  The definition of Leadership simply states, “Guiding Intent with Integrity”.  If there is a goal someone needs to achieve, and you have a way to achieve it, you are their leader.  It doesn’t matter if it’s about going out dancing Saturday night, teaching a class room full of students how to speak English, or leading a nation through an economic crisis manufactured by the banks.  As long as you are guiding your own intentions and those of our followers, and they feel you are in integrity, you are their leader.

Coincidentally, on page 47, it is stated, “we found not surprisingly, that the importance of being forward looking increased with age, work experience and level in organizational hierarchy”  Leadership is about guiding people to their goals, so as people gain more experience about understanding goals, obtaining goals, and helping people achieve them, as well as motivating people to achieve them, yes, it stands to reason, just like children learning to walk, we will strive to use techniques that make it easier to achieve our goals and rely less on others.

Have you ever wondered why children learn to walk?  Maybe it’s because they get tired of waiting on others to help them do things.  Have you ever wondered why seniors refuse to stop driving?  It’s reported that seniors don’t want to give up their independence.  Interesting correlation, wouldn’t you agree?  Therefore, if follows that if I can achieve a goal more easily by leading a group of people to help me achieve it, wouldn’t I prefer to do that, instead of doing it all on my own?  We as a general rule learn how to do things more easily, and will leave older habits behind that took more time, and energy.

How many people do you know that still use type writers?  Now, why have so many people switched from type writers to using word processors?

The problem isn’t that other leaders are not thinking about the future. It is that they are here in the present, dealing with present problems, and haven’t learned how to utilize the tools of leadership effectively to motivate others around them to help them solve a common problem around the human condition.  As was illustrated in the first chapter, “You Make a Difference”.

Is Leadership About Growing Others?

This post is in response to:

Leadership is About Growing Others

The premise provided, "Leadership is about growing others - It's not about you!" is incorrect as a whole. The reason why this understanding is correct is based on the definition of leadership. Leadership is "Guiding Intent with Integrity". A leader has to guide his subordinates and himself toward a goal that solves a business or humanistic problem.  Jack Welch's quote, “Before you become a leader success is all about growing yourself. Once you become a leader success is all about growing others.”, is not bout being a leader, it's about being SUCCESSFUL! Successful people look for business or humanistic problems to solve that have a greater solution benefit to production cost ratio. They marshal resources, which may cultivate future leaders or managers to handle the business problem's solution life cycle.  Bryan Oliver's comment, "Leadership is all about self-sacrifice, not worrying about who gets the credit for what idea, and is not about how good the leader looks to the person they report to.", also misses the mark. The perception is perpetrated by the idea that "[ Leadership ] is Not About You!", your ego. Are you the business problem or the solution? You are neither. What you are is an individual among many working on the problem trying to solve it. You can work with others to solve the problem, or you can work alone. But, you are never the only person who can solve this problem.  Leaders do not sacrifice themselves or others in the name of producing a solution. They are motivated by the outcome they want this solution to have on humanity. How will this solution impact the world, make it a better place, and make life easier for others. That is what leaders envision, and convey through their guidance. Their passion, is about them. Their motivation is intrinsic, based on solving an extrinsic problem.

A simple picture, but what do we really see?

Two hands, one of a man, one of a woman, and they're bringing a thread into the eye of a needle. Exactly! But there's more. They're also showing us the amazing diversity of working together to solve a difficult task.
