The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership

Iain Shippey

Leadership isn’t about being in a formal position. Rather, it’s about having the courage and spirit to move from whatever circumstances you are in to make a significant difference. And you don’t need to be called a “leader” to achieve extraordinary things in your organisation. 

 


  1. Challenging the Process

  2. Inspiring a Shared Vision

  3. Enabling Others to Act

  4. Modelling the Way

  5. Encouraging the Heart



There will be some question for personal reflection


James Kouzes and Barry Posner embarked on an extensive research project as they were determined to find out what ‘practices’ characterise exemplary leaders. Their passion to uncover the truths of leadership led them to survey a broad spectrum of leaders including Company CEO’s, Educators and successful Sports Coaches. “We collected thousands of stories of leaders performing at their peak, and we looked at what actions seemed to be consistent in all their stories. We found that five practices define exemplary leadership.”
