A change of heart
• Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes.
Lance Secretan
• Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.
32
Where do you find inspiration?
• People - their stories, their truth, their witness, their actions
• Possibility - for justice, for truth, for beauty, for life

The 8th Habit
The two key strategies for inspiring others to find their voices are:
• Focus – role modelling character and
competence– creating a vision
• Execution – aligning goals and systems to
achieve results– empowering people to release talent
and passion
34
How do you do inspiration?
• Trust in the authenticity of the person is fundamental
• Passion, purpose, connection and meaning help make a leader inspirational.
• The ability to communicate that passion, purpose and meaning to others helps establish the inspirational culture
35
How do you enable inspiration?
Strategically facilitating situations where people are:
• Refreshed in what they already believe
• Stretched to be most productive, focused, and committed, thus most satisfied and proud
• Challenged to confront their beliefs or non-beliefs, their blocks and their fears
36
Enabling inspiration
• Choose a particular person who appears to resist or be disengaged.
• What are you doing to contribute to the current situation?
• What strategy could you put in place to inspire her or him to jump in, boots and all?
