be aware of our beliefs?

Emeritus, Harvard Business School
Breakout Discussion
Review your choices on the beliefs test with each other.
The goal is not to reach consensus but to find out why you
chose what you did and to ask ourselves “how are my
beliefs about leadership influencing where I look for it?”
Take :10 to discuss and capture your thoughts on the
whiteboard page in your breakout room
Have someone ready to summarize when we come back
to the main room

“There is the dominant belief that leadership should
come from the top and bosses are in some way
responsible for their employees’ performance and morale, much
as loving parents are responsible for their children. Holding on
to this line of thought represents the choice of dependency
over empowerment.
Empowerment means that each member is responsible for
creating the organization’s culture, for delivering outcomes
to its customers and especially for the quality of their own
experience.

Breakout Discussion
• What 2-3 key behaviors/characteristics define
leadership for you? Discuss with the others in
your group and note any themes.
• Take :10 to discuss in your breakout room
(use your whiteboard to capture your thoughts
and have someone from the group be ready to
summarize)
15
Suggestions…
1) When addressing a challenging situation others, make your
assumptions and beliefs public to help you stay aware of and
manage them
“Hey guys, my current thinking is that ……, so help me if I get too
adamant about…”
2) When discussing “facts” and “data”, ask yourself, “am I looking
only at the data that supports my position?”
16
Closing thought…
“We must forgo the notion that it is the role of the
leader to be fully accountable. We must no longer
believe that real change in any organization can only
start at the top. We must accept responsibility for
ourselves, for the relationships and partnerships to
which we belong, and for the work of the organization.
We must understand and act on our role as cocreator. To make this new understanding and
practice of leadership a reality, we must accept
responsibility and accountability for the workgroup
even if we don’t have the authority we have long
thought we needed.”
~ Russ Moxley, Leadership and Spirit
