Leaders are born.
Everyone is called to lead.
Not everyone “hears” the call.
Heeding and pursuing the call is
determined by choice.
The right choices result in leadership
development.
Leadership development is a process.
There is a PATTERN to it.

What do I mean by “Call”


A call is your “human will” moving you in
one direction.
Calls are invitations from “life” to serve,
to activate your life toward a cause
worthy of you and the human family.
– John Schuster, “Answering the call”
A Spiritual Undertone –
Replace “human will”, “life” for Manufacturer!

The Defining Moment
Eureka
Whether by accident or design, there are moments when, because
of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring
around us, we are forced to seriously appraise ourselves and the
condition under which we live and to make certain choices that will
affect the rest of our lives.
“Who am I?”
“What is my purpose?”

An Underlying Order
The Human Life Cycle: A Sequence of
seasons – struggling through various
degrees of self knowledge and self
invention.
And at the “Noon” of Life:
 Coming to terms with the Meaning of Life.
 The Call to Greater Wholeness.

The Whole Person Paradigm




Physical needs - for food/ shelter/ work/ clothing
Social needs - for loving and being loved, inclusion,
recognition, self identity
Mental needs - for developing the mind through mental
exercise; through study/ learning
Spiritual needs - for taking care of one’s soul, for doing
something that really matters, something that has
meaning, for being at peace with one’s God
A balance of all the needs is what gives a fulfilling life

Self Actualization
"What a man can be, he must be.
This need we may call self-actualization…
It refers to the desire for self-fulfillment,
namely, to the tendency for him to become
actualized in what he is potentially.
This tendency might be phrased as the desire
to become more and more what one is,
to become everything that one is capable of becoming.“
- Abraham Maslow

Daniel Goleman

All of the truly effective leaders they studied,
regardless of age, had undergone at least one
intense, transformational experience” that set them
on their “desired, even inevitable” leadership paths.
Sudden shocking discoveries about our lives
shaking us into action,”wowing” us with a stark
truth about ourselves and offering new clarity about
our lives.

Leadership Defining Crucibles




Ground breakers – these experiences literally
thrust one out and enable them to break new
ground.
Heart breakers - those painful, unwelcome events
that stop one in their tracks and force them to reevaluate priorities.
Cloud breakers – the encounters allow one to see
the big picture – suddenly & clearly – like never
before.
Chart breakers – those defining moments allow
one to soar with confidence.
