Transformational Leadership
Here are the sub-headings of an
article by a noted HR writer, Joshy Thomas:
Transform
yourself to transform others
The world has many good leaders but very few great leaders. What
separates good leaders from great leaders is their ability to transform
their followers and their willingness to create greatness in their
followers. All great leaders have one thing in common: they are able to
transform themselves and others.
Who is a transformational leader?
Transformational leadership is that leadership that inspires
organizational success by profoundly affecting the followers' beliefs
and values. The only changes that can last are the changes that stem
from the inner core of a person. Transformational leaders influence this
core in every follower and transform them profoundly to make them better
human beings.
7 Ds of Transformational Leadership
1. Develop a vision
2. Deliberate the vision
3. Discover the road to walk ahead
4. Dare to walk behind
5. Depend on others
6. Develop a culture of collaboration
7. Drink to others success

Career

Email
Mel to arrange one-one assistance
in developing your career. I
believe the new processes in Recruitment and Selection mean that you are
now involved in a Career Management process.
The "good old
days" (NOT!) of grabbing the Standards Framework and
struggling to write an application are now gone forever, replaced by what
I believe will be a more professionally rewarding system.
Merit Selection
I have places available for one-one assistance for applicants for HOD and
HOSE positions.
Please
contact Mel with suggestions for
improvement, requests for articles, etc. Please let me know how
useful this is. Feedback is valuable in improving the service -
thanks. In
response to a request, I will soon have an archive of past "Pearls of
Wisdom" and Newsletters available from the website. |
