What is Leadership?
•
Leadership is the art of
motivating a group of
people to act toward
achieving a common
goal. In a business
setting, this can mean
directing workers and
colleagues with a
strategy to meet the
company's needs.
Who is a Leader?
 Inside
Advocates
What is advocacy?
 Who is an Advocate?
According to Merriam Webster dictionary:

1.: one who pleads the cause of another

specifically : one who pleads the cause of another before a tribunal
or judicial court

2: one who defends or maintains a cause or proposal

• an advocate of liberal arts education

3: one who supports or promotes the interests of a cause or group

• a consumer advocate
• an advocate for women's health
The Advocate has one of the strongest leadership
styles. Advocates take their responsibility very
seriously. The mission becomes their client, and they
will always see it through to completion. The Advocate
is like a fierce guardian who protects the mission along
with the team, and is willing to suffer on their behalf.
As a leader it is important to encourage and to
provide positive reinforcement, especially during
long and complex projects. The advocate style of
leadership is more than being a cheerleader for
the team.
 Strategic
Communicators
Four-step model that
can guide leaders’
efforts to
communicate
 ASSESS THE CONTEXT

Effective leaders assess those they seek to

influence. A proper assessment allows
leaders to determine the group’s limits and
possibilities. Push too slow and key
initiatives never get traction. Push too fast
and they falter through sheer exhaustion.
 CRAFT STRATEGY
The context provides the backdrop for developing
the strategy. Making the right tradeoffs while
formulating a strategy involves a three-step
process.

A. Select communication goals that are

linked to the organizational goals.
B. Underscore and explore a few key
themes.
Executives generally choose one of five basic
communication strategies.

1. Spray & Pray

2. Tell & Sell
3. Underscore & Explore
4. Identify & Reply
5. Withhold & Uphold
C. Translate corporate objectives and
priorities.

Underscoring a theme is not enough. To be

effective, executives must play an active role in
translating the theme into corporate priorities and
objectives at each level of the organization.
 IMPLEMENT STRATEGY
Great strategy cannot overcome poor execution.
Executing a communication strategy requires skill,
tenacity and insight, which leaders can
demonstrate by using the following tactics:

1. Repetition and redundancy

2. Identify and utilize opinion leaders
3. Select the right channels
 PROVOKE DIALOGUE
• Some leaders are persuasive when presenting
information. Dialogue goes further, encouraging
give-and-take, and allowing everyone to influence
outcomes. Many people fear this kind of
interchange, wrongly thinking that it undermines
their credibility and diminishes their influence.
To be sure, it is a messier affair than a flashy
speech, but in the long run, meaningful dialogue
promotes deeper commitment to the leader’s
ideas, purpose or mission.
 The following methods have proven
helpful in provoking meaningful dialogue:
A. Attack “thought-terminating clichés.”

B. Clarify confusing events by selecting the right

frames.

C. Check the pulse.

D. Communicating strategically requires a special

set of skills.
 Cultural
Activists

What is Activism?
Activism consists of
efforts to promote,
impede, direct, or
intervene in social,
political, economic, or
environmental reform
with the desire to make
changes in society
Who is an Activist?
one who advocates or
practices activism : a
person who uses or
supports strong actions
(such as public protests)
in support of or
opposition to one side
of a controversial issue
Cultural Activists Leader
Advocating new
directions, promote,
or intervene in social,
political, economic,
or environmental
reform with the
desire to make
changes in society
 Six types of Activists:
1. Investigators: those drawn to research and discovery;

2. Communicators: those who explain, educate, and inform;

3. Builders: those who create new systems, products, services, and

approaches;

4. Resisters: those who oppose the status quo or situations they deem
detrimental;

5. Nurturers: those who give and take care of others; and

6. Networkers: those who can connect people and organizations for

fruitful outcomes.
FAMOUS ACTIVISTS
 The future doesn’t happen
to us.
People build it, together.
Effective leaders own their
data, put people at the
center, move them to action,
and distribute leadership.
Generalist
What is Generalist?
The Merriam-Webster
dictionary’s simple
definition of a generalist
states a generalist is “a
person who knows
something about a lot of
subjects”. Therefore,
generalists are the “jacks of
all trade” – they have an
understanding of a wide
range of things.
 Generalist Leader

• We need generalist
leaders. This is
especially true in the
context of company
management. Leaders
are, ideally, generalists
that can understand
and handle many
different parts of a
company.
What is a Historian?
A historian is a person who
studies and writes about the
past, and is regarded as an
authority on it. Historians
are concerned with the
continuous, methodical
narrative and research of
past events as relating to the
human race; as well as the
study of all history in time.
History and Informed
Leadership
History matters because
it can form the basis of
informed leadership. A
lack of historical
understanding can also
contribute to poor
decisions. It is not that
the past is a direct guide
to the present, or that we
can use history to avoid
the mistakes of the past.
New situations are always
unique. Political leaders,
however, are often too
eager to see only the
elements of the past
which suit their present
day views and ignore the
full and complex picture
which a really good
understanding of the past
can provide.
