The more frequently

Exemplary Leadership®
the more engaged people
are in their workplaces.

The question is not,
“Do I make a
difference?”
The question is, “How
do I make a positive
difference?"

Becoming
Extraordinary

Heidi Grant Halvorson, Columbia University, author of Succeed and Focus
“One of the first things you
learn when you study
achievement for a living is that
innate ability (to the extent
there is such a thing) tells you
nothing about your chances of
reaching a goal.”

Becoming Extraordinary
To develop extraordinary student
leaders, we need to:
1. Instill belief
2. Elevate aspirations
3. Initiate challenge
4. Present role models
5. Promote practice
6. Show support

What is the question
asked most frequently
about leadership?
“Is leadership born
or made?"

How many times
would you guess
we’ve been asked,
“Is management
born or made?”

D. R. email to Jim Kouzes, May 21, 2010
“…maybe someone
like myself does
have the possibility
of being a leader.”

Albert Bandura, Stanford
“Unless you believe
that your actions can
produce change, you
probably won’t try.”

Coaching Tip
Encourage clients to start
their day with this mantra:
“Today I will make a
positive difference in the
lives of the people I lead.”

Elevate
Aspirations

Olivia Lai, manager, customer service support, Kimberly-Clark
“In order to become a
leader…it’s important
that I first define my
values and my
principles.”

Tom Kolditz, “Why You Lead Determines How Well You Lead,” Bloomberg
News, July 22, 2014
“…those who lead primarily
from values-based
motivations…outperform
those who lead with
additional instrumental
outcomes and rewards.”

“Imagine your own career
ten years out, and dream
of a position that serves
you well…Create your
own position. Create our
future.”

Question: What is most lacking in
the next generation of leaders?
“Ability to create a vision and engage
others so they feel ownership and passion
about achieving it.”

Coaching Tip
Assign this exercise:
Imagine it’s 10 years from now
and you’re attending a
ceremony honoring you as the
“Leader of the Year.” What do
you hope others are saying
about you that night?

The leaders who
have the most
influence are the
leaders who are
closest to us.

Source: A. Bandura, Self-Efficacy
“The opportunity to watch
others who have mastered
a practice is extremely
helpful to strengthening
beliefs in self-
effectiveness.”

Haley Rudd, Molly’s Closet
“Leaders take every
opportunity to show others,
by their own example, that
they’re deeply committed
to the values and
aspirations they claim.”

Coaching Tip
It’s vital that you connect
your clients to someone
who has mastered a
practice and can show them
by example how to lead.
Who are those people?

Promote
Practice

Source: K. A. Ericsson, M. J. Prietula, and E. T.Cokely, “The Making of an
Expert,” Harvard Business Review, July-August 2007.
“Living in a cave
doesn’t make you
a geologist.”

Lillas Brown and Barry Posner
Leadership & Organizational Development Journal
“Better learners …
consistently engaged in
leadership practices more
frequently than those in the
low learning category.”

Glenn Michibata, head coach, Men's Tennis, Princeton University
“Two hours per day if
you want to stay the
same. More if you
want to get better.”

K. Anders Ericsson, Michael J. Prietula, and Edward T. Cokely, “The Making of
an Expert,”
“The development of
expertise requires
coaches who are
capable of giving
constructive, even
painful, feedback.”

Coaching Tip
Coach your clients to establish
this routine: “At the end of
each day, record their answer
to this question: ‘What did I do
today to improve so that I’m a
better leader than I was
yesterday?’”

Show
Support

Jade Liu, Ambition Group, referring to Guy Day, managing director
“He showed
that he
cared.”

The Road to Resilience America Psychological Association
“Accepting help and
support from those who
care about you and will
listen to you
strengthens resilience.”

Daniel Goldman, Social Intelligence: The New Science Of Human
Relationships
“Having just one
supportive, stable
relationship is an
important condition to
transcending adversity.”

Pete Thigpen
“Really believe in your heart
of hearts that your
fundamental purpose, the
reason for being, is to enlarge
the lives of others. Your life
will be enlarged also.”

Coaching Tip
Make sure to:
Identify someone who can
be the “one, stable
relationship” for clients
throughout the development
process.
