Leadership, Stewardship, Service....


The traditional model of "Leadership" has these three corner-stones :

(1) #INSIGHT - the ability to see things that others cannot, and to see things as they truly are, unbiased by past tendencies and experiences

(2) #INTEGRITY - the ability to adopt the correct set of values and then have the courage to be true to these values in all that one does

(3) #INSPIRE - the ability to communicate your Insight and your Integrity to a vast set of stakeholders and then help propel them forward on their own steam.

These are times when we realize the greater connected-ness between our-selves, our small circle of family / friends and the larger circle of humanity and all the other creations. These times warrant / recommend a different approach.... and the future will surely require something more than great Leadership.

Beyond Leadership, there is a sweeter choice of #STEWARDSHIP & #SERVICE. It is even more evident that the planet and all businesses on the planet need more of Stewardship. Enjoyed the small excerpt of 54 pgs from the book by Peter Block "Stewardship, Choosing Service Over Self-Interest".

This lays out the fundamental shifts that Stewardship advocates. I hope that you find it relevant.
