Lorna Storr Consultancy - Leadership, Coaching & Organisational Development

Leadership

I invite you to contemplate some of these questions – I dare you to seek a deeper understanding, a deeper awareness of your approach to leadership and to discover and affirm who you are and want to be as a leader and as a unique individual.

So try and imagine what kind of leader you would like (or not) to be and then to explain what it is that attracts you to this kind of leader...remember...humans are very clever at taking refuge in fantasy...try and be honest with yourself.

Questions and contemplation

What kind of Leader am I?
What kind of leader do I want to be?
What kind of leader can I be?
What does it mean to be a leader?
Why should others follow me
What impact do I have on others and my service?
How effective am I?
How do I influence others?
Should I focus on the task or the people?

What are my leadership:

• Challenges
• Values
• Beliefs
• Promises
• Priorities
• Purpose
• Potential
• Assumptions
• Thinking and decision making patterns
• Emotions

- towards myself, others and my service?

Are leaders born or made?

What about leaders and leadership how are they different and how are they synonymous?
What is the purpose of leadership?
How do social images impact on leadership – So what?
Is being ethical being an effective leader or is being an effective leader being ethical?

Having considered these......

Encouraging personal and organisational change is at the heart of my work. Enabling others to appreciate the benefits, find the courage within, the versatility and vision is what we will work on.

Leaders face unprecedented challenges particularly within the context of transformational change and service improvement. The dynamics of such change can evoke undesirable and intolerable feelings and confusion making them vulnerable and eager to accept circumstances and conditions which do not always serve their best interests.

It is therefore imperative that you develop your inner wisdom and skills which will enable you to lead with confidence, influence, optimism and vitality.
