From Goals to Actions: Uncovering the Key Components of Improvement Roadmaps
The Five Pillars of Leadership: How to bridge the leadership gap Paul J. Meyer
1. We hope you find today’s class rewarding, inspirational &
worthwhile
2.
3. Founder of the personal development
industry.
His organisation - Leadership
Management International has
engaged with over 2 million leaders
world-wide spanning 67 countries.
4. “Leadership is becoming an
investment that individuals and
companies can no longer afford
not to make.”
Paul J. Meyer
6. “At its core, leadership is
achieving specific, beneficial
results through people”.
7. Anyone who has the will and
the courage to step forward,
accept change and begin
helping others transform
themselves.
(e.g. business, sports team ,
family etc.)
9. “Winning companies win because
they have good leaders who
nurture the development of other
leaders at all levels of the
organisation.”
Noel Tichy
10. Paul J. Meyer describes it as:
in the growing rift between leaders and
team members.
in increased dissatisfaction many team
members and leaders feel in both their
personal and work lives.
in your search for a deeper meaning and
purpose as you struggle to meet daily
challenges of moving your organisation
ahead.
11. Every leader at every level has the potential to construct a bridge
of personal and professional growth that will span the leadership gap
As a leader, you are the only one who can bravely and
boldly grab hold of change and wring success out of it
12. The bridge’s foundations must be
strong; otherwise they will be pulled
down by the strong current of the
river (referring to both internal and
external forces).
13. But if you lack the desire or if
your own spirit is weak,
flawed, or faulty, you will find
that the leadership bridge is
always beyond your reach.
You will never reach across!!
14. Integrity – builds trust
A Servants Heart – commitment
to the leader and organisation
Stewardship – team members
develop to their full potential
which foster loyalty
15. “Character is the key to
leadership. Research at Harvard
University indicates that 85% of a
leader’s performance depends on
personal character”.
Warren Bennis
16. At the organisational level,
having a servant’s heart will
enable leaders to coach,
empower, and persuade
others to follow.
17. The leader who is also the
steward places empathis not
just on the bottom-line but also
on the invaluable, intangible
assets of the organisation.
18. “If you are not thinking all
the time about making every
person more valuable, you
don’t have a chance”.
Jack Welch
19. When they are, and securely
grounded in the proper foundation of
integrity, stewardship, and a servant’s
heart, then you will be be able to take
yourself and your organisation to
heights that you never dreamed of
before.
20. Where you stand now and
want yourself and your
organisation to go.
21. Written goals keep you and
your team members on
track, eliminating outside
distractions and
interruptions.
22. Without desire strong enough
to produce action, you and
your team will achieve little, no
matter how worthy the goal nor
how workable the plan you’ve
devised.
23. Highly effective leaders, on
the other hand, understand
that the process of
achievement relies on altering
basic attitudes and habits of
thinking.
24. The development of commitment and the
acceptance of personal responsibility for
results are the hallmarks of your refusal to
be dissuaded, sidetracked, or steered off
course.
Ironclad commitment is not the same as
stubbornness.
25. “Concentrate on your strengths rather
than your weaknesses”.
“If you always do what you always did;
you’ll always get what you always got”.
“Productivity is never an accident. It is
always the result of a commitment to
excellent planning and focused effort”.
“Enthusiasm is the yeast that raises the
dough”.
