Leadership Substance, Style and Shadow 39Leadership Style
Where in your life do you already have a leadership role?
In what area of your life do you have authority, either formal
or informal?
Where do you have greater knowledge than others?
Where do you provide a role model for others?
In these areas you are already a leader. How could you
become even more influential?
Do you have the role of a teacher?
Where do you give others knowledge and skill?
Are you a designer? Where do you shape others’ lives by
what you make?
Are you a coach? Where do you try to bring out the best in
others?
Are you a healer? Where do you help others who are hurt in
mind or body, or where do you bring people together
and make them feel good? (A negotiator is also a kind of
healer.)
Are you a steward? Do you keep important values or objects
safe in times of change?
What aspect of leadership particularly appeals to you?
How could you develop more of this in your life or expand
what you already have?
What matters to you about being a leader?
Why do you want to develop as a leader?
What will that get for you?
