• Epistemological /

theoretical.

Most of us attempt to produ e a O -the - ourt

result fro a I -the-sta d approa h.

Do you think this would work?

What is it that makes extraordinary

leaders extraordinary?

Answering this Question from I -the-

“ta ds …..

• Most of us assume that extraordinary leaders

have something inside of them that makes

them extraordinary.

• We look at great leaders & attribute to them

key leadership ingredients viz. Charisma,

Courage, Visionary, Motivational, Compassion,

Patience etc.

• Then we teach others about these great

leaders and their characteristics and styles.

Answering the Question from O -the-

Court …

• ….. egi s ith the realisatio that these extraordinary leaders & high performers are

ordinary people like you and me.

• …… so hat akes these ordi ar people so effective?

What makes extraordinary leaders &

perfor ers so effe ti e…. ……. Is that the See,

Comprehend & therefore Interact with life (and situation) differently than most of us do.

Extraordinary leaders SEE….a d o e to li e in a different world.

Leadership & Performance is

less about what you KNOW,

and more about how you

M “tor ……. • Diesel Locomotive Workshop, Itarsi, India.

• Fresh with Engineering, Management and Leadership concepts & ideas.

• Knowing that I should be Courageous, Speak my mind, be authentic, be impartial did NOT automatically make me these.

What I did not realise then is that what I drew on

was not my learnt concepts but something in the

real of trai i g i ei g -an Ontological

concept.

So what creates a leader &

performance

It s ot hat ou k o …….. …….. It s ho ou see.

It s Not What You K o ……

……..It s Ho You “ee A perso s way of being and their

actions are correlated with (in a dance with) the way in which what they are dealing with occurs (shows up) for them.

Next Question:

What shapes the way in which something occurs for a person, and is there a specific o urri g for ei g a leader a d e er isi g

leadership effectively?

The Contextual Framework

being committed to realizing a future that

as t goi g to happe

that fulfils the concerns of all relevant parties

including those who lead you and those you

lead

Which future gives you being and action in the

present

that results in the realisation of the future.
