Leading with behaviors

Leading with Behaviors

What are leadership behaviors?

Why are they important?

How would Fun, Faith & Fire look as leader behaviors?

Fun

  • Being engaging and engaging others
  • Smiling
  • Energized vocal variety
  • Animated motions
  • Fun words

Faith

  • Demonstrating belief by doing and acting on change
  • Standing up against resistance and barriers
  • Continuing the fight in the face of adversity
  • Collaborating to build strength

Fire

  • Exhibiting emotional transparency
  • Exciting self and others
  • Intensity of voice
  • Modeling a wide variety of engaging behaviors
  • Taking risks to push out of the box of the "same old" and ordinary

What do these look like and sound like? Behaviors are in the "real world", not inside the head, so their impact is felt by others in a sensory way - heard, seen, felt.

What do you think???
  • Is leadership a behavior-based role or an intellectual one?
  • Is it about doing or planning?
  • is it about action or...?
