19 You are
always
teaching.
Every encounter between a superior and a subordinate involves learning of some kind for the subordinate. (It should involve learning for the superior, too, but that is another matter.) When the boss gives an order, asks for a job to be done, reprimands, praises, conducts an appraisal interview, deals with a mistake, holds a staff meeting, works with his subordinates in solving a problem, gives a salary increase, discusses a possible promotion, or takes any other action with subordinates,
he is teaching them something
result of
every
. The attitudes, the habits, the expectations of the subordinate will be either reinforced or modified to some degree as a encounter with the boss. . .The day-by-day experience of the job is so much more powerful that it tends to overshadow what the individual may learn in other settings.

20 Can you change anything in the world “out there” without changing yourself first?
Society Organization Team Self
“Ten short years.... the one thing that we have done consistently is to change .... It may seem easier for our life to remain constant, but change, really, is the only constant. We cannot stop it and we cannot escape it. We can let it destroy us or we can embrace it. We must embrace it.”
Michael Eisner

Change and Learning
In a world of change, learners will inherit the earth, while the learned shall find themselves perfectly suited for a world that no longer exists.

Susan Campbell’s Stages of Change
Feeling Unsettled:
Something isn’t right.
Denial:
It’s not that bad.
Facing the Present: I see things as they are.
Letting Go:
The past isn’t working; the future is unclear.
Envisioning: I know what I want.
Exploring new Options: Maybe I can do it.
Committing to Action: I can do it.
Integrating the Change: I am doing it.

Senge’s Model of Change
Most Change Agents Stay BELOW the Line
INTERNAL
Do Alone What do we need to do tomorrow?
FUTURE
Who do we need to partner with?
EXTERNAL
Need to collaborate What are we doing today?
36 (c) James G. Clawson Who do we partner with today?
TODAY
The Necessary Revolution , Peter Senge, 2008
Senge’s Model of Change
Not from the top, from the bottom or middle, anywhere Organize in groups and teams not individuals Only need a few, e.g. 10 out of 8 Start people thinking, give them new insights Find stories to tell about value creation that we can’t escape Spend three years “hanging out” talking with people Network more, meet more people who are knowledgeable Spread it slowly (like zoysia grass) Listen and hear it from your peers Success depends on the richness of your networks Create visual images for people (they stick) Be consistent Remember executives can screw it up 37 (c) James G.

Does experience lead to wisdom?
“Most people do not accumulate a body of experience. Most people go through life under-going a series of happenings which pass through their systems undigested. Happenings become experiences when they are digested, when they are reflected on, related to general patterns, and synthesized.” Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, quoted by Henry Mintzberg in “The Five Minds of a Manager” HBR 11/03
44 LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE "To most men, experience is like the stern lights of a ship which illumine only the track it has passed.” --Samuel Taylor Coleridge "Experience is not what happens to a man, it is what a man does with what happens to him." --Aldous Huxley
45 Good is the Enemy of Great “Conversely, perpetuating mediocrity is an inherently depressing process and drains much more energy out of the pool than it puts back in. … ‘I want them to have a great experience, and to have the experience of being part of something absolutely first class.’” Running Coach, p. 208
“WE TEACH WHAT WE TOLERATE.” Marietta Frey

Will you ever become anything more than a vessel transmitting the memes and genes of previous generations on to the next?
Will you rise above (transcend) your legacies and lead others to do the same? If
not, …

PART FOR EACH TO PLAY
Adapted from USAA Group
Leadership is, as you know, not a position but a job. It’s hard and exciting and good work. It’s also a serious meddling in other people’s lives. One examines leadership beginning not with techniques but rather with premises, not with tools but with beliefs, and not with systems but with understandings. This I truly believe.
