Can you lead without deep knowledge?
• Some say good managers can manage anything; they can manage
without really knowing what they are trying to manage. It’s the
management skills that count.
• I argue strongly that the best job can be done when the manager has
a genuine and thorough knowledge and understanding of the work.
• I don’t see how managers can even understand what standards to
observe, what performance to require, and how to measure results
unless they understand in some detail the specific nature of the work
they are trying to supervise.

Bill George on Authentic Leadership
Create your own Personal Leadership Development Plan based on:
1. Knowing your authentic self
2. Defining your values and leadership principles
3. Understanding your motivations
4. Building your support team
5. Staying grounded by integrating all aspects of your life
Authentic leaders demonstrate these five traits:
1. Pursuing their purpose with passion
2. Practicing solid values
3. Leading with their hearts as well as their heads
4. Establishing connected relationships
5. Demonstrating self-discipline Source
31 12 March 2008
Examples 1-5 from Bill George
• Purpose: We ndy Ko pp started Teach For America, the most successful
secondary educational program of the past 25 years.
• Values: Thad Alle n built the Coast Guard around values. When
Hurricane Katrina hit, officials at all levels of government argued about
who was responsible while the Coast Guard simply swung into action,
saving the lives of stranded victims.
• Leading with heart: Marilyn Carlso n Ne lso n changed Carlson
Companies from decades of top-down rule to expressing empathy for
her employees and compassion for her customers.
• Relationships: A. G. Lafle y, CEO of Procter & Gamble, took over an
organization in turmoil. On a visit to a remote office, he looked a young
employee in the eye and said, "The work you are doing is vital to the
future of P&G."
• Self-discipline: Warre n Buffe tt became the wealthiest man in the world
by avoiding debt and high-risk investments, concentrating on value
companies and long-term positions. Buffett has been a model of self-
discipline – also reflected in his personal life. Source
32 12 March 2008
Examples 6-8: World Leaders
•Mohandas Gandhi
•Martin Luther King Jr.
•Nelson Mandela
33 12 March 2008
Examples 9-10: Presidential Candidates
• "The two leading candidates in 2008, Jo hn McCain and Barack O bam a,
stood out precisely because they are authentic.
• McCain, who experienced his crucible as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam,
tells it like it is. He is not afraid to go against popular positions or the
Republican hierarchy, including the current president. As he has assumed
front-runner status for the nomination, the hard-liners in the Republican
Party have tried to bring him in line, but he has steadfastly refused.
• O bam a's authenticity is precisely what makes him so appealing to such a
wide range of voters. He seems "good in his skin," and is able to rise
above the negative attacks. His message of hope and change, backed up
by specific programs that seem logical to most people, is inspiring a lot of
Americans to get engaged in the political process. For all the talk that he
would wither under the pressure, he seems to get stronger and more
confident as he goes." Source: Bill

  • 30. 30 12 March 2008 Bill George on Authentic Leadership Create your own Personal Leadership Development Plan based on: 1. Knowing your authentic self 2. Defining your values and leadership principles 3. Understanding your motivations 4. Building your support team 5. Staying grounded by integrating all aspects of your life Authentic leaders demonstrate these five traits: 1. Pursuing their purpose with passion 2. Practicing solid values 3. Leading with their hearts as well as their heads 4. Establishing connected relationships 5. Demonstrating self-discipline Source
  • 31. 31 12 March 2008 Examples 1-5 from Bill George • Purpose: We ndy Ko pp started Teach For America, the most successful secondary educational program of the past 25 years. • Values: Thad Alle n built the Coast Guard around values. When Hurricane Katrina hit, officials at all levels of government argued about who was responsible while the Coast Guard simply swung into action, saving the lives of stranded victims. • Leading with heart: Marilyn Carlso n Ne lso n changed Carlson Companies from decades of top-down rule to expressing empathy for her employees and compassion for her customers. • Relationships: A. G. Lafle y, CEO of Procter & Gamble, took over an organization in turmoil. On a visit to a remote office, he looked a young employee in the eye and said, "The work you are doing is vital to the future of P&G." • Self-discipline: Warre n Buffe tt became the wealthiest man in the world by avoiding debt and high-risk investments, concentrating on value companies and long-term positions. Buffett has been a model of self- discipline – also reflected in his personal life. Source
  • 32. 32 12 March 2008 Examples 6-8: World Leaders •Mohandas Gandhi •Martin Luther King Jr. •Nelson Mandela
  • 33. 33 12 March 2008 Examples 9-10: Presidential Candidates • "The two leading candidates in 2008, Jo hn McCain and Barack O bam a, stood out precisely because they are authentic. • McCain, who experienced his crucible as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam, tells it like it is. He is not afraid to go against popular positions or the Republican hierarchy, including the current president. As he has assumed front-runner status for the nomination, the hard-liners in the Republican Party have tried to bring him in line, but he has steadfastly refused. • O bam a's authenticity is precisely what makes him so appealing to such a wide range of voters. He seems "good in his skin," and is able to rise above the negative attacks. His message of hope and change, backed up by specific programs that seem logical to most people, is inspiring a lot of Americans to get engaged in the political process. For all the talk that he would wither under the pressure, he seems to get stronger and more confident as he goes." Source: Bill George
