This is the leadership that my practice is aiming to support and develop. I have been asked many times, how do I see my coaching & consulting practice regarding supporting the developing team or organizational leader?
In James MacGregor’s book “Leadership”, he describes leaders as either transactional or transformative. He states: The relations of most leaders and followers are transactional, leaders approach followers with an eye to exchanging one thing for another. Transforming leadership, while more complex is more potent. The transforming leader recognizes & exploits an existing need or demand of the potential follower. But, beyond that, the transforming leader looks for potential motives in followers, seeks to satisfy higher needs, and engages the full person of the follower. (Support organizations to elevate their staff’s core values being lived) The result of transforming leadership is a relationship of mutual stimulation & elevation that converts followers into leaders and may (this is critical for current organizational life) convert leaders into moral agents.
This is my way to seek to develop leaders through my organizational consulting and coaching in order to grow organizational culture that is healthy, safe and purposeful for all.
