Чем лидерство не является

It is not leadership from any one person that is required, it is an aspect of leadership each of us summons from within. In this respect, the same qualities we have sought in one person can be found distributed among many people who learn, in community, to exercise their "leadership" at appropriate moments. This occurs when people are vitally concerned about issues or when executing their responsibilities. Leadership thus becomes a rather fluid concept focusing on those behaviors which propel the work of the group forward. J. Nirenberg

Проведя большую часть последнего десятилетия в исследовании поведения в организации и влияния, которое оказывает служение, я убедился, что существует всего несколько ключевых составляющих успешного служения. Одной из неотъемлемых характеристик служения, которое способно изменить жизнь, является лидерство. George Barna

«Лидерство как взаимоотношения»

Лидерство как взаимоотношения состоит из четырех основных компонентов

Ведение журнала

Как выглядит церковь (или другая организация) когда реализуется лидерство взаимоотношений?

Worldviews evolve beyond dominance, toward relational dialogue, and finally relational meaning-making

CLC определение Христианское лидерство это динамический процесс взаимоотношений, в котором люди под влиянием Духа Святого вместе стремятся к достижению общей цели – служить другим через лидерство и быть лидером через служение.

Шесть важных элементов преобразующего лидерства _____ Четырнадцать административных практик успешных лидеров церкви

Шесть важных элементов

Богом данное рвение, движущее общее видение
Проявление надежды, основанной на вере
Проявление твердой принципиальности
Мужество для того, чтобы бросить вызов существующему положению вещей
Непоколебимая уверенность в воодушевлении людей
Философия «избытка»

Развитие лидерства

Это больше, чем обучение административным навыкам
Это даже больше, чем развитие лидерских навыков – то, что мы называем важными элементами
Прежде всего, это преобразование

Иисус о лидерстве служения

Matthew 20:20-28
Mark 10:35-45
Mark 9:35
Luke 22:24-27
John 13:1-17
1 Peter 5:1-3
Romans 12:1

Лидерство служения – это практическая философия, которую демонстрируют люди, сделавшие выбор в пользу того, чтобы сначала послужить, а потом повести за собой, делая таким образом вклад в личную судьбу людей и организаций.

«Слуга-лидер это, прежде всего, слуга…. Все начинается с естественного чувства, что человек желает служить, сначала служить. Затем осознанный выбор подталкивает человека к стремлению вести. Такой человек резко отличается от того, кто сначала лидер, возможно, из-за нужды удовлетворить небывалую жажду власти или материального достатка. У таких людей выбор в пользу служения делается потом – после того как удалось решить вопрос с лидерством. «Сначала лидер» и «сначала слуга» это два крайних типа. А между ними располагаются оттенки и смеси бесконечного разнообразия человеческой природы.

Разница проявляется в том, что «сначала слуга» заботится о том, чтобы первостепенные нужды других людей обслуживаются. Вот как можно это проверить: растут ли те, кому служат, как личности? Когда им служат, становятся ли они здоровее, умнее, свободнее, независимее? Проявляют ли они желание самим стать слугами? И как меняется жизнь наиболее обездоленных в обществе; получат ли они от этого пользу или, по меньшей мере, не опустятся ли они еще ниже» Servant Leadership - Greenleaf

Отличительной чертой лидерства служения является мотивация, которая стоит за нашими действиями как лидеров

Лидерство служения значит, что забываем о личной выгоде, мы идем на жертвы и ставим нужды других людей превыше того направления, в котором нам самим хочется пойти.

Лидерство служения нельзя назвать слабым, оно обладает большей силой и влиянием, чем лидерство, основанное на силе, награде или эгоизме.

Лидерство служения, если посмотреть глубже, является естественным. Оно вытекает из нашего опыта формирования в себе духовной личности.

На протяжении многих лет я говорил своим студентам, что хотя существует большое количество книг по лидерству, есть только одна серьезная книга, которую студентам нужно прочитать – Лидерство служения by Robert K. Greenleaf…. Гринлиф приглашает читателей задуматься над лидерством, которое основывается на смысле слова «быть», а не «делать». Он говорит, что первый и самый важный выбор, который делает лидер, это выбор в пользу служения, без которого способность человека вести ограничивается. Этот выбор не является действием в обычном понимании этого слова – это не то, что вы делаете, а выражение того, кем вы являетесь». Peter Senge, 1996, from the introduction to Jaworski’s Synchronicity

Selecting Administrative Skills

Orientation to the Portfolio

Leadership and Integrity

People must think of us as Christ”s servants, stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God. What is expected of stewards is that each one should be found worthy of trust. 1 Corinthians 4: 1-2 JB

Martin Luther King; “…create leaders who embody virtues we can respect, who have moral and ethical principles we can applaud with an enthusiasm that enables us to rally support for them with confidence and trust.”

The Drive By Incident A Narrative and Discussion

Integrity is the accumulated response to the Holy Spirit leading our personal life.

Project Orientation

Christian leaders cannot simply be persons who have well informed opinions about the burning issues of our time. Their leadership must be rooted in the permanent, intimate relationship with the incarnate Word, Jesus. Henri Nouwen

“If you tell the truth, you never have to remember anything.” ─ Mark Twain

Lack of integrity destroys trust

Three Guiding Insights:

My beliefs determine my integrity
My thoughts develop my integrity
My actions demonstrate my integrity

I. Beliefs

Predicated on our worldview
Perception of integrity impacted by differing worldviews
Personal values are predicated on our beliefs
Integrity is the honest extension of our values as informed by our beliefs and worldview

II. Thinking

Integrity grows with the person
Beliefs evolve with experience, revelation and reflection
Values are in dynamic flux as we learn and grow
Integrity flexes with growth in order to remain in sync with values, beliefs, and worldview

III. Actions

Behavior is the fruit by which integrity is judged
“Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” or does it?
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” or is he?
Integrity requires congruence between the internal and external self.

When Values Collide: The 2010 Executive Committee Meeting of the West Penn Conference An Exercise

Philosophical Foundations

Integrity, Personal Individualism, and Alignment of Values in an Organization

Who are we to be?

Traditional focus is on the how and what aspects of being a leader (competency)
Little attention is given to who is doing the what and how of leadership
The WHO impacts the WHAT and HOW in establishing integrity

“So the point is not to become a leader. The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely ─ all your skills, gifts and energies ─ in order to make your vision manifest. You must withhold nothing. You must, in sum, become the person you started out to be, and enjoy the process of becoming.” ─Warren Bennis

Developing the WHO

Know yourself (not an easy task)
Understand your worldview
Be clear on your belief structure
Understand the forces that shape you
All these forces converge at our identity
Know your “shadow” i.e. fears, anxieties, insecurities (Jung)

Who….

Know your leadership strengths
Know your leadership weaknesses
Know your personality
Know your temperament
Claim your gifts
Practice meta-cognition

“Self-respect is the key indicator of our integrity as a person.” Smith, F., & Goetz, D. L. (1999).

How Leaders Demonstrate Integrity

Levels of Integrity

Personal
Personal values and behavior provide a foundation
Team
Team is a unit that must adopt values and congruent behavior in order to be effective and to survive
Corporate
Organizational values inform practices

Three qualities of integrity in leadership

Self Consistency: Wholeness or Compartmentalization?
Principles span all areas of life and leadership
Personal Efficacy: High or Limited Sense of Agency?
Sense of empowerment that allows action to express values
Scope of Awareness: Global or Circumscribed?
A sense that global citizenship brings responsibility beyond one’s own corner of the world
─ Bennis and Goldsmith, 1997, p.139

Case Study and Exercise - “Frito Lay”

How Do You Practice Integrity Daily?

“Every one understands how praiseworthy it is in a Prince to keep faith, and to live uprightly and not craftily. Nevertheless, we see from what has taken place in our own days that Princes who have set little store by their own word, but have known how to over-reach men by their cunning, have accomplished great things, and in the end got the better of those who trusted to honest dealing. Be it known, then, that there are two ways of contending, one in accordance with the laws, the other by force; the first of which is proper to men, the second to beasts. But since the first method is often ineffectual, it becomes necessary to resort to the second. A Prince should, therefore, learn how to use well both the man and the beast…. ─ Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince, (1513)

“My movement from Harvard to L’Arche made me aware in a new way how much my own thinking about Christian leadership had been affected by the desire to be relevant, the desire for popularity, and the desire for power. Too often I looked at being relevant , popular and powerful as ingredients of an effective ministry. The truth, however, is that these are not vocations but temptations. Jesus asks, “Do you love me?” Jesus sends us out to be shepherds, and Jesus promises a life in which we increasingly have to stretch out our hands and be led to places we would rather not go. He asks us to move from a concern for relevance to a life of prayer, from worries about popularity to communal and mutual ministry, and from a leadership built on power to a leadership in which we critically discern where God is leading us and our people.” Henri J. M. Nouwen, In the Name of Jesus, pp 21-22

Leadership and the New Science - Discussion

“In the quantum world, relationships are not just interesting: to many physicists, they are all there is to reality” p.32 What are the implications for human evolution of the concept of monotheistic trinitarianism (the nature of God understood in relationship)?
“Field theory can educate us in several ways about how to manage the more amorphous side of organizations.” p.53 Identify the fields in the church and describe their effect.
“…freedom and order - turn out to be partners in generating viable, well ordered, autonomous systems.” p.95 Is the church a self-organizing system? Why? Is it experiencing life that way?
“The system has infinite possibilities, wandering wherever it pleases, sampling new configurations of itself.” p. 123 Relate chaos to God’s activity. Does creation come from chaos? Does the church create chaos? Eliminate chaos? Are you seeking chaos?
“There is, even among simple cells, an unerring recognition of the intent of the system, a deep relationship between individual activity and the whole.” p. 146 What are the implications for the Adventist church as it faces a new millennium, post modernism in some cultures, and growth to 30 or 40 million?

Discussion Regarding Projects

The soul…never thinks without a picture. Aristotle

Being is relational, not individual. M. Huber

The leader of the future will be the one who dares to claim his irrelevance in the contemporary world as a divine vocation that allows him or her to enter into a deep solidarity with the anguish underlying all the glitter of success and to bring the light of Jesus there. Henri Nouwen

People must think of us as Christ”s servants, stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God. What is expected of stewards is that each one should be found worthy of trust. 1 Corinthians 4: 12 JB

The long painful history of the Church is the history of people ever and again tempted to choose power over love, control over the cross, being a leader over being led. Henri Nouwen

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart; Naught be all else to me save that Thou art. Thou my best thought by day or by night, Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise Thou my inheritance, now and always Thou and Thou only, first in my heart High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art. High King of heaven, when victory is won May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, O ruler of all
