The
Leadership50
The Basic Premise.
1. Leadership Is a … Mutual
Discovery Process.
“I don’t know.”
2. Leaders Try … Not to Screw Things
Up
“Ninety percent of what we call ‘management’ consists of making it
difficult for people to get things done.” – P.D.
The Leadership
Types.
3. Great Leaders on Snorting Steeds Are Important – but
Great Talent Developers (Type I
Leadership) are the Bedrock of Organizations that Perform Over
the Long Haul.
25/8/53*(*Damn it!)
4. “Just One”: Great Leading = Great
Mentoring.
Goal of the Year No. 1*: Find-Develop-Mentor
ONE Extraordinary Person.
*CEO, large financial advisory firm, April 2001
5. But Then Again, There Are Times When This “Cult of Personality”
(Type II Leadership) Stuff Actually Works!
“A leader is a dealer in hope.”
Napoleon (+TP’s writing room pics)
6. Find the “Businesspeople”!
(Type III Leadership)
I.P.M. (Inspired Profit Mechanic)

The Leadership
Dance.
8. Leaders … SHOW UP!
Rudy!
9. Leaders … LOVE the
MESS!
“If things seem under control, you’re just not
going fast enough.”
Mario Andretti
10. Leaders
DO!
The Kotler Doctrine:
1965-1980: R.A.F.(Ready.Aim.Fire.)
1980-1995: R.F.A.(Ready.Fire!Aim.)
1995-????: F.F.F.(Fire!Fire!Fire!)
11. BUT … Leaders
Know When to Wait.
Tex Schramm: The “too hard”
box!
12. Leaders Are …
Optimists.
Hackneyed but none the less
true: LEADERS SEE CUPS AS “HALF
FULL.”
Half-full Cups: “[Ronald Reagan] radiated an almost transcendent
happiness.”Lou Cannon, George (08.2000)
13. BUT … Leaders Are
Realists/Leaders Win Through LOGISTICS!
The “Gus Imperative”!
14. Leaders FOCUS!
“To Don’t ” List
It’s Relationships,
Stupid.
15. Leaders Trust in
TRUST!
Credibility!
16. Leaders Infuse the Dreaded-All Important “Evaluation Process”
with CREDIBILITY!
25 = 100
17. Leaders … Understand the
Ultimate Power of RELATIONSHIPS.
“Women speak and hear a language of connection and intimacy, and men
speak and hear a language of status and independence. Men communicate to obtain information, establish their
status, and show independence. Women communicate to create
relationships, encourage interaction, and exchange feelings.”
Judy Rosener, America’s Competitive Secret
“Investors are looking more and more for a relationship with their financial advisers. They want someone
they can trust, someone who listens. In my experience, in general,
women may be better at these relationship-building skills than are
men.”Hardwick Simmons, CEO, Prudential Securities
18. Leaders Wire the Joint!
Winners wire. Losers are
slaves to rank.
“TAKE THIS QUICK QUIZ: Who manages more things at once? Who puts more effort into their appearance? Who usually takes care of the details? Who finds it
easier to meet new people? Who asks more questions in a conversation? Who is a better
listener? Who has more interest in communication skills? Who is more inclined to get involved?
Who encourages harmony and agreement? Who has better intuition? Who works with a longer ‘to do’ list? Who enjoys a recap to the day’s events? Who is
better at keeping in touch with others?”

Susan Kane-Benson
19. Leaders Know …
Women Roar/ Women Rule.
“AS LEADERS, WOMEN RULE: New Studies find that female managers
outshine their male counterparts in almost
every measure”Title, Special Report, Business Week, 11.20.00
Women’s Strengths Match New Economy Imperatives: Link [rather than rank] workers;
favor interactive-collaborative leadership style [empowerment beats top-down decision making]; sustain fruitful collaborations; comfortable with sharing information; see redistribution of power
as victory, not surrender; favor multi-dimensional feedback; value technical & interpersonal skills, individual & group contributions equally; readily accept ambiguity; honor intuition as well as pure
“rationality”; inherently flexible; appreciate cultural diversity

“The ‘Connection Proclivity’ in women starts early. When asked,
‘How was school today?’ a girl usually tells her mother every
detail of what happened, while a boy might grunt, ‘Fine.’ ”

“Women don’t buy
brands. They join them.”

Read This: Barbara & Allan Pease’s
Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“It is obvious to a woman when another woman is upset, while a man generally has to physically witness
tears or a temper tantrum or be slapped in the face before he even has a clue that anything is going on. Like most female mammals, women are equipped with far more finely tuned
sensory skills than men.” Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“Resting” State: 30%, 90%: “A woman knows her children’s
friends, hopes, dreams, romances, secret fears, what they are
thinking, how they are feeling. Men are vaguely aware of some short people also living in the house.”
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“As a hunter, a man needed vision that would allow him to zero in on targets in the distance … whereas a woman needed eyes
to allow a wide arc of vision so that she could monitor any predators sneaking up on the nest. This is why modern men can find their way effortlessly to a distant pub,
but can never find things in fridges, cupboards or drawers.”
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps
“Female hearing advantage contributes significantly to what is
called ‘women’s intuition’ and is one of the reasons why a woman can read between the lines of what people say. Men, however, shouldn’t despair.
They are excellent at imitating animal sounds.”
Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps

If It Ain’t Broke … Break It.
21. Leaders …FORGET!/
Leaders … DESTROY!
Forget>“Learn”
“The problem is never how to get new, innovative
thoughts into your mind, but how to get the old
ones out.”Dee Hock
“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to
stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would
provide their customers more and better products of the sort they wanted, and because
they carefully studied market trends and systematically allocated investment capital to
innovations that promised the best returns, they lost their positions of leadership.”
Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma
The [New] Ge Way

22. BUT … Leaders Have to Deliver, So They Worry About “Throwing the Baby Out with the
Bathwater.”
“Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don’t, Just Plain
Damned.”Subtitle in the chapter, “Own Up to the Great Paradox: Success
Is the Product of Deep Grooves/ Deep Grooves Destroy Adaptivity,” Liberation Management (1992)

people in the lab these days?”

Source #1: Personal Passion)
2ND Law: REAL REASON TO BELIEVE (Stand & Deliver!)

5%)

professional growth, respect, satisfaction, opportunity, rewardSource: Ed Michaels et al., The War for Talent
33. Leaders LOVE RAINBOWS – for Pragmatic Reasons.
“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century.
Mighty is the mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the
blemished, the rough, the black-and-blue, the mix-and-match – these people are inheriting
the earth. Mixing is the new norm. Mixing trumps isolation. It spawns creativity,
nourishes the human spirit, spurs economic growth
and empowers nations.”G. Pascal Zachary, The Global Me:
New Cosmopolitans and the Competitive Edge
Psssst! Wanna see my “porn” collection?
Passion.

Engagement, Commitment, Great Causes & Determination to Make a
Damn Difference, Shared Adventures, Bizarre Failures, Growth, Insatiable
Appetite for Change.] [Otherwise, why bother? Just read Dilbert. TP’s final words: CYNICISM SUCKS.]
The “Job” of Leading.
37. Leaders LOVE
“POLITICS.”
TP: If you don’t LOVE POLITICS … find
another life. (Don’t pretend you’re a “leader.”)
38. But … Leaders Also
Break a Lot of China
If you’re not pissing people off, you’re not making
a difference!

39. Leaders Give …
RESPECT!
“It was much later that I realized Dad’s secret. He gained respect by giving it. He
talked and listened to the fourth-grade kids in Spring Valley who shined shoes the same way he talked and listened to a
bishop or a college president. He was seriously interested in who you were and what you had to say.”
Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Respect
40. Leaders Say
“Thank You.”
“The two most powerful things
in existence: a kind word and a thoughtful gesture.”

Warren’s “Whoops Moment” …
“Warren, I know you want to ‘be’
president. But do you want to ‘do’
president?”
46. Leaders …
KNOW THEMSELVES.
Individuals (would-be leaders) cannot engage in a liberating mutual discovery process unless they are comfortable with their own skin. (“Leaders” who are not comfortable with themselves become petty control freaks.)
47. But … Leaders Know
“It’s My Fault.”
You recruited ’em.You hired ’em.
You trained ’em. You evaluated ’em.
You “motivated” ’em.
