The question is not
Do leaders make a
difference?
The question is
How do leaders make
a positive difference?
I think good peopledeserve good leadership.
The people I managedeserve the best
leadership in the world.

LEADERSHIPIS A
RELATIONSHIP
LEADERSHIP is not a place, it’s not a gene, and it’s not a secret code that
can’t be deciphered by ordinary people. The truth is that LEADERSHIP is
an observable set of ski l ls and abil it ies.

INSPIRE A SHARED VISION
Transformationalleaders have a clearly
defined vision.They know where
they’re going.
What is Purpose?
The‘Why’isPurpose
CHALLENGE THE PROCESS
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS ASK
What’s new?
Is there a better way ?
How can we revolutionize this?
How could we do it better?
If you were to do it again tomorrow, what would you do
differently?
How can we TRANSFORM?
ENABLE OTHERS TO
ACT
Leadership is not wielding authority, it’s EMPOWERING
people
Research shows that people – like the people
who report to you –perform at their best
when they’re challenged, when they’re given work challenges beyond their
‘usual’ work tasks.
How many people say
they perform at their BEST
when they’re challenged?
96%
What actions can you take to enable others
to act?
Your people are capable of far more than you - and often
they - believe
There is more hunger in this
world for love and appreciation than there is for bread
