How do I train people in leadership in times of drastic change?

How do I train people in leadership?

“While there are dozens of methodologies for training and teaching along with hundreds of curriculum for getting information across, leadership is always taught one of two ways: intentionally or unintentionally.” J Loren Norris

As world renown leadership guru Dr. John C Maxwell says, “People do what people see. Its the Law Of The Picture.”

LEADERSHIP UNINTENTIONALLY 

Sometimes our most profound leadership lessons were the ones which were caught by observation not the ones taught intentionally. When we are vulnerable to the circumstances around us, when we let our guard down, when we react hastily, we are teaching and training leadership just like we would be in a classroom!

LEADERSHIP UNLEARNING

Looking at the social implications, actions and reactions to the events of the first quarter of 2020, we have some lessons to learn, some lessons to UNLEARN and some lessons which need to be remodeled. I mean that literally, we need to deconstruct many of our leadership lessons in civility, social expectations and accountability. We need to talk about power, authority, respect, humanity, compassion, influence and impact in a way like we never have before. We need to expand the table and include voices which have hitherto been set aside, ignored or intentionally silenced.

LEADERSHIP INVESTS IN THE PAIN OF CHANGE

This world is changing. Some people will be uncomfortable with this change. Others have been waiting too long for this change. Either way, nothing changes until the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change. Leaders must be willing to brace for the change, address the change, see a way through the change and embrace the results of change. Even when, especially when, the change DOES NOT SUIT THEM or serve their own personal interest but serves the BEST INTEREST of the common good of the community and ultimately of all mankind.

So, how do I train people in leadership you ask? Intentionally or unintentionally. Its your choice, but it’s unavoidable and you will be held accountable. Choose wisely!
