Description:
The Uncommon Leadership model explores five uncommon insights into leadership based on 5 S’s:
- Seeing – leading with vision
- Shaping – leading with action
- Showing – leading with purpose
- Serving – leading with serving
- Sharing – leading with others
Each of the 5S uncommon leadership themes requires a mix of leadership skills. For example:
- To lead with vision will require skills to develop and communicate a vision
- To lead with action needs abilities to create the right conditions for the vision to become a reality
- To lead with purpose first and foremost suggests leaders who demonstrate by their behaviours and actions the direction they want others to follow. They use the business leadership skill of being at the front leading the way
- To lead with serving means a leaders motives are rooted in service, in doing things for the benefit of others. In contrast to leading with purpose such leaders adopt the business leadership skill of leading from behind, they follow their people, supporting and encouraging.
- To lead with others recognises the skills to collaborate and to build leadership capacity more widely in the organisation. Such leaders lead from within.
