Do you play a leadership role?
Difference between legitimate and community leaders?
Legitimacy
Wider Community
Organisation/Partnership
How do you lead without legitimacy?
• I see myself as a guide through a complex 'landscape 'and a team/partnership builder
• Our leader works with, and therefore has the support of, the community, local businesses, town, district and county councils - he has no need for legitimate power himself
Quote
• I lead from the front. I take it all, good, bad or indifferent - but it is so important to work with and find trust in others. I seek different organisations to work in partnership with to achieve the same end.
Quote
• We have a public face – a spokesperson, or fall guy - however we all have a role to play and we are all equal
• An effective partnership that is working properly gains ‘legitimacy’
So...
• Do you possess the personal traits needed to to lead without legitimacy?
• Do you behave and communicate like a leader?
• Do you need help to develop these skills?
