KD's Mind Map

This week I attended a leadership seminar presented by Coachworks International - The Legacy Leader Company. Many of the concepts aligned perfectly with our conversations in Leadership Theory and Application so I wanted to post them to hold me accountable.

The following platforms represent a complete set of observable and measurable behaviors. These behaviors, when used in total, are leverage points for success. I have included those practices of leadership that are essential for every leader, regardless of their industry or level within the organization.

1. Holder of Vision and Values - It's about direction and commitment. The term "holder" indicates that the leader lives the vision and values while measuring every action against both.

2. Creator of Collaboration and Innovation - It's about creating a positive environment for working relationships. The term "creator" indicates the leader's ability to create a learning trusting environment where collaboration and innovation can occur.

3. Influencer of Inspiration and Leadership - It's about making connections with individuals. The term "influencer" indicates the leader's ability to influence and inspire for positive relationships.

4. Advocator of Differences and Community - It's about distinguishing individual strengths and inclusion of differing perspectives. The term "advocator" indicates the leader's ability to support and stand for strengths-based talent.

5. Calibrator of Responsibility and Accountability - It's about execution and performance measured against vision and values. The term "calibrator" indicates constant vigilance, with possible adjustments, of progress toward accomplishing responsibilities and accountabilities.
