ATHENA Leadership Model History

In an extensive study to determine what inspires and guides ATHENA leaders and informs their individual and collective brands of leadership, hundreds of them were interviewed. Eight core principles of leadership emerged and gave rise to the ATHENA Leadership Model.

ATHENA Leadership Model

Page 7: C:\fakepath\york athena pp

LIVE AUTHENTICALLY.

Being true to yourself. Internal harmony, clarity of purpose, trust in your core beliefs; integration of mind, body and spirit.

Authenticity is the single most important quality of leadership.

Leaders know, accept and respect themselves

Page 8: C:\fakepath\york athena pp

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS.

Connecting genuinely with those around you. A willingness to bond with others, profoundly and productively, without regard for status.

Leaders engage, empower and trust.

Page 9: C:\fakepath\york athena pp

GIVE BACK.

Leaving a worthy legacy. Offering committed service to colleagues, community and the world. Driving toward the greater good without concern for your own success or fame.

Leaders serve.

Page 10: C:\fakepath\york athena pp

FOSTER COLLABORATION.

Valuing the gifts each individual brings. Encouraging those who are frequently unheard to share their views. Deepening knowledge and awareness through diversity.

Leaders welcome others to the work of leadership.

ACT COURAGEOUSLY.

The willingness to stand alone and speak up, to challenge the status quo, to follow your heart’s convictions. The determination to act honorably and faithfully, even in the face of fear and loss.

Leaders dare.

Page 12: C:\fakepath\york athena pp

LEARN CONSTANTLY.

Life-long openness to continue learning no matter how highly placed you are. The art of listening and the ability to learn from role models, bad as well as good.

Leaders seek knowledge.

Page 13: C:\fakepath\york athena pp

ADVOCATE FIERCELY.

Passionate, personal Devotion to something that matters deeply. An unswerving commitment that drives your behavior. Refusing to be dissuaded or distracted from what you believe is necessary.

Leaders champion what is right.

Page 14: C:\fakepath\york athena pp

CELEBRATE.

The age-old practice of gathering to mark important times. A chance to create rituals, enjoy traditions and build a history. Setting aside time for reflection and gratitude; for sorrow and, especially, joy.

Leaders rejoice.
