words.” •  “They put their money where their mouth

is.” •  “They follow through on their promises.” •  “They do what they say they will do.”

reasons.

Respect •  We communicate with candor and tact. •  We will be tough on the issue, not on the person. •  We value people for who they are and what they bring.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Level 5 Leadership. Level 5 leaders are ambitious first and foremost for the cause, the organization, the work —not themselves — and they have the fierce resolve to do whatever it takes to make good on that ambition. A Level 5 leader displays a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will.

First Who … Then What. Those who build great organizations make sure they have the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the key seats before they figure out where to drive the bus. They always think first about “who” and then about “what.”

STAGE 1: DISCIPLINED PEOPLE

28

Page 29: Leading Your Team to Greatness- Dr. James Goenner, National Charter Schools Institute ( Indiana Charter Schools Conference Presentation 11/2013)

www.CharterInstitute.org

Confront the Brutal Facts — the Stockdale Paradox. Retain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, AND AT THE SAME TIME, have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

The Hedgehog Concept. Greatness comes about by a series of good decisions consistent with a simple, coherent concept — a “Hedgehog Concept.” The Hedgehog Concept is an operating model that reflects understanding of three intersecting circles: what you can be the best in the world at, what you are deeply passionate about, and what best drives your economic or resource engine.

STAGE 2: DISCIPLINED THOUGHT

29

Page 30: Leading Your Team to Greatness- Dr. James Goenner, National Charter Schools Institute ( Indiana Charter Schools Conference Presentation 11/2013)

www.CharterInstitute.org

Culture of Discipline. Disciplined people who engage in disciplined thought and who take disciplined action — operating with freedom within a framework of responsibilities — this is the cornerstone of a culture that creates greatness. In a culture of discipline, people do not have “jobs”; they have responsibilities.

The Flywheel. In building greatness, there is no single defining action, no grand program, no one killer innovation, no solitary lucky break, no miracle moment. Rather, the process resembles relentlessly pushing a giant, heavy flywheel in one direction, turn upon turn, building momentum until a point of breakthrough, and beyond.

STAGE 3: DISCIPLINED ACTION

30

Page 31: Leading Your Team to Greatness- Dr. James Goenner, National Charter Schools Institute ( Indiana Charter Schools Conference Presentation 11/2013)

www.CharterInstitute.org

Clock Building, Not Time Telling. Build an organization that can adapt through multiple generations of leaders — the exact opposite of being built around a single great leader, great idea, or specific program. Build catalytic mechanisms to stimulate progress, rather than acting as a charismatic force of personality to drive progress.

Preserve the Core and Stimulate Progress. Adherence to core values combined with a willingness to challenge and change everything except those core values, keeping clear the distinction between “what we stand for” (which should never change) and “how we do things” (which should never stop changing). Great companies have a purpose — a reason for being — that goes far beyond just making money, and they translate this purpose into BHAGs (big hairy audacious goals) to stimulate progress.

STAGE 4: BUILDING GREATNESS TO LAST

Four Disciplines of a Healthy Organization

The Advantage

Page 34: Leading Your Team to Greatness- Dr. James Goenner, National Charter Schools Institute ( Indiana Charter Schools Conference Presentation 11/2013)

www.CharterInstitute.org

Cohesive teams build trust, eliminate politics, and increase efficiency by …

•  Knowing one another’s unique strengths and weaknesses.

•  Openly engaging in constructive ideological conflict.

•  Holding one another accountable for behaviors and actions.

•  Committing to group decisions.

1: Build a Cohesive Leadership Team

34 The Advantage

Page 35: Leading Your Team to Greatness- Dr. James Goenner, National Charter Schools Institute ( Indiana Charter Schools Conference Presentation 11/2013)

www.CharterInstitute.org

Healthy organizations minimize the potential for confusion by clarifying …

•  Why do we exist? •  How do we behave? •  What do we do? •  How will we succeed? •  What is most important – right now? •  Who must do what?

2: Create Clarity

35 The Advantage

Page 36: Leading Your Team to Greatness- Dr. James Goenner, National Charter Schools Institute ( Indiana Charter Schools Conference Presentation 11/2013)

www.CharterInstitute.org

Healthy organizations align their employees around organizational clarity by communicating key messages through …

•  Repetition: Don’t be afraid to repeat the same message again and again.

•  Simplicity: The more complicated the message, the more potential for confusion and inconsistency.

•  Multiple Mediums: People react to information in many ways; use a variety of mediums.

•  Cascading Messages: Leaders communicate key messages to direct reports; the cycle repeats itself until the message is heard by all.

3: Over-Communicate Clarity

36 The Advantage

Page 37: Leading Your Team to Greatness- Dr. James Goenner, National Charter Schools Institute ( Indiana Charter Schools Conference Presentation 11/2013)

www.CharterInstitute.org

Organizations sustain their health by ensuring consistency in …

•  Hiring •  Managing performance •  Rewards and recognition •  Employee dismissal

4: Reinforce Clarity

Leaving a Legacy “Lord, as I get older I would like to be known as available more than a hard worker, compassionate more than competent, content, not driven, generous instead of rich, gentle over being powerful, a listener more than a great communicator, loving vs. quick or bright, reliable and not famous, sacrificial instead of successful, self controlled rather than being excited, thoughtful more than gifted, I want to be a foot washer, I want to finish well.”

— John C. Maxwell
