George, B (2003) Authentic Leadership

Authentic leadership

Authentic leaders

1. Pursue purpose with passion: Display purpose and direction so people want to follow

you.

2. Practice solid values: We are defined by our values and characteristics. Without integrity,

no one will trust or want to follow you.

3. Lead with the heart: Engage the hearts of those you serve and align your interests with

the interests of those you lead. You need empathy and compassion for the people you

work with and courage to make difficult decisions

4. Establish enduring relationships: Enduring relationships are built on connectedness and

a shared purpose of working together towards a common goal. People need personal

relationships to fully commit to work.

5. Demonstrate self-discipline: Convert your values into consistent actions that others can

rely on. Take responsibility and ownership for your actions.

Approaches to Change

How Good Are Your Change Management Skills?

1. I usually receive good support from senior executives for changes that I want to implement.

2. I create a plan for change for my department and team, and I let other departments deal with the impacts as they choose.

3. I communicate successes throughout the organization, so that everyone understands the positive impact of a change project.

4. I try to understand my organization's culture and values as important elements of a change project.

5. When change is happening, I expect people to continue to perform at 100 percent.

6. Once I'm successful with a change project, I declare victory and move onto the next project.

How Good Are Your Change Management Skills?

7. If I think something must be changed, I start right away and make it happen.

8. To get backing and support from my team, I talk with team members about what is causing the need for change.

9. If key individuals are convinced that change is needed, the rest of the stakeholders will usually come on board.

10. Change is as good as a rest, so even though it might not be necessary, it often helps to "mix things up a bit.“

11. It's harder to manage change effectively when the organization has previously managed change projects badly.

12. I let people get comfortable with changes before I decide if any training is necessary.
