1. What Is Leadership?
2. What Is Followership?
3. Where Do You Start?
4. How To Get Others On Board?

Why is this important?
7. …Are Nothing Without
Leadership Differentiation
“Leaders need to have the Leadership Code
building blocks to be effective and they
need to know their organization’s unique
brand…”
Customize Your Style to the Organization
Dave Ulrich & Norm Smallwood, “What Is an Effective Leader?”, RBL
Group, 2009
8. But, Remember Collins “Bottom Line”
Leadership Key: The Hedgehog Concept
• What Can You Be “Best in the World” At?
• What Is Your Denominator?
• What Are You Passionate About?
10. Warren Bennis: No Leadership
Without Followership
“…the longer I study effective
leaders, the more I am convinced
of the underappreciated
importance of effective followers..”
Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at the
University of Southern California School of Business Administration, THE
DILEMMA AT THE TOP; Followers Make Good Leaders Good, 1989
11. Leaders Need Effective
Followers
“Executives who ignited transformations
from good to great did not first figure out
where to drive the bus, then get the right
people to take it there. Instead, they got
the right people on the bus and then
figured out where to drive it.”
Jim Collins, “Good to Great”, 2001

10 Rules of Effective Followership
21. Start Making Things Happen

22. The Causes of Project Failure Are Known.
Where to Start?
Focus on the Conditions for Success

23. Show Your Care About
Monitoring the Key Data
• Results Data – data that measures
attributes of the product to be delivered.
– Costs, Times, Quantities, Quality
• Conditions Data – data that measures the
attributes of the process that produces the
product to be delivered.
– Capability, Commitment, Collaboration
24. Be Prepared to Communicate
Through Common Understanding
Automotive Engineers Long Ago Defined
the Critical Measures for Safe, Effective
Engine Operation.

26. What Questions Are We
Asking?
Automotive Gauge Asks the Question
Odometer
How far have we gone?
Clock How much time has it taken?
Fuel Level How far can we go?
Speedometer How fast are we going now?
Tachometer How intensely is engine working?
Oil Pressure Do we have enough ‘lubrication’ to keep parts
working well together?
Oil Temperature How smooth are interactions?
Water Pressure Do we have enough coolant to keep the engine
producing?
Water Temperature How effective is the coolant in keeping the
engine cool?
Voltmeter Is enough energy being applied to the other
important systems?

27. What Measures What?
Automotive Gauge Asks the Question To Measure
Odometer How far? Deliverables Delivered
Clock How long? Duration
Fuel Level How much further? Input Units Available
Speedometer How fast? Deliverables per Unit of Time
Tachometer How intensely? Effort Intensity

Notas do Editor
Strategists create, define and deliver principles of WHAT CAN BE. Leaders need to know where they are going and communicate that effectively to others. Work with OTHERS to test ideas and plan the journey (taking into consideration money, people, organizational capabilities).
Executors ensure discipline (process) and the technical expertise to get the right things done right.
Talent managers help people develop themselves for the good of the organization.
Human Capital developers build the culture and capabilities to ensure the organization has the capabilites needed for the long term, not just the close-in objectives.
Personal Proficiency. Effective leaders learn. They inspire loyalty because of their personal integrity. They are decisive and impassioned. Confident, courageous. Tolerate ambiguity.
