Editor's Notes
- Good morning, introduction Leadership experience Leaders I’ve watched I hope you learn something
- Seniority Job Titles Management Particular personality traits
- Does someone want to take a crack at defining leadership?
- Anyone can have this impact Good place to start
- Trust = critical Behaviors that demonstrate trust Behaviors that demonstrate lack of trust You need trust to get things done at all levels So how do exceptional leaders build trust?
- Honesty, but not all the things More candor = more trust More variety the better Increase participation. Example of failed transparency/participation: Piscataway Makerspace Example of teams that cut across organization: Teaneck Increase communication Mass: emails, newsletters, public speaking Individual: calling people, stopping to see them, individual emails Break down walls! Transparency is holistic. It’s not one thing, it’s all of the things together. Bake transparency in to the culture.
- When you say you’re going to do something, make sure you do it James’ story about how to get opportunities on committees People pay more attention to your actions than your words Consistency takes time You build trust when people see you show up
- Exceptional leaders don’t tell people, they show people Especially in the beginning - you need to show people what you want to see Example of mopping floors and emptying mouse traps Visibility is a huge part of leadership
- What does that mean to empower others?
- You can’t do it all alone we > me
- Lack of communication is devastating to a team People will communicate regardless, make it positive Regular feedback meetings Teams that cut across the organization
- Low performers vs. high performers Performance evaluations and goal setting Set goals and track progress Strategic Plan Annual Report Expanding expectations is like stretching
- Separates leaders from Leaders How people get to formal leadership positions by being extremely high individual performers Meaningful delegation is not giving people work, it’s giving them responsibility Match responsibilities with strengths Delegate the things you like to do first (blind spots)
- Dynamic as cliche. What does it mean to be dynamic?
- You can’t do it all alone we > me
- Responsive not reactive Feedback/input vs. instincts Lasting change requires flexibility, but steady perseverance Planning - Ruthless Objectives Small vs. Big things Examples of first public library makerspace or strategic plan
- This may sound counterintuitive, but it’s incredibly important to make mistakes. If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not growing. Take action, make adjustments, take action again. Failures > Successes Big, public failures > Reframing (LMx Unconference) Example: Instagram Story
- Exceptional leaders own everything they’re involved in Mistakes > present, corrective action We don’t remember the thing that went wrong, we remember how leaders respond Dynamic as changing roles - not always from the front Leaders step up, visible, present
