A book for understanding the challenge of leadership in our society. For individuals and organizations; a conversation/discussion about the Leadership Dilemma and a story about leaders teaching people to fish!
LEADERSHIP CONVERSATIONS: Teaching Fishin’ is the first of a series of books to help all those who lead people. Each of our books will begin with a discussion (or conversation) about leadership, and each book will include a story that offers skill development and practical learning (Part II). This book and the entire series is applicable to leadership development at work, church, school, parenting,
teaching, coaching—virtually any role that requires leadership.
Concepts, terminology and topics addressed within include:
Servant Leadership
Teaching and Facilitating
People-systems describes of a system of leadership, teamwork, culture,
relationship-building and interaction.
TEAMership represents the intricate dynamics of working as a team and how these dynamics play out from the executive level all the way across to the entry level.
Growing people includes developing their ability to think and problem solve as well as increasing their involvement in the organization. Ultimately this positively impacts the individual’s self-worth and overall value to the company.
Personal Mastery
Buy-in and Consensus building
Mentoring
Organizational Development
Critical Thinking
I will mention this again, but let me emphasize that none of this discussion is intended to suggest management or managers are bad people. Sometimes people initially believe I am targeting or attacking managers. This could be no further from the truth. By the end of this book, I am sure you will realize this. I sincerely love people. I find us hugely amazing. I also have a lot of compassion for the challenges managers face and the hopeless position most are placed in with little
to no training or preparation.
Excerpt
After reading ‘TEACHING FISHIN’, it may seem to be a simple story about a leader and his team. Indeed it is about that, but it has much broader meaning and powerful relevance to organizations as a whole. For that matter, it has implications for communities, companies and even cultural development. Consider its meaning to you and your situation – what IF the team being created in this story represented your entire organization?
What would it mean if you had ALL (a group of 20, maybe a company of 200 or a town of 4500) thinking, inputting, supporting, taking ownership, involved, problem-solving and bottom line - motivated toward the common vision? A common vision happens when ALL are involved at all levels, from the beginning of the change implementation, the project, the idea, the goal, etc!!!
