Five Strategies of Exceptional Leaders: Leadership development progression
Lets review quickly the five strategies.
1. Cultivate Positude.
2. Lead by Serving.
3. Dare to make a difference.
4. Embrace and employ discipline.
5. Update your snapshot regularly (forgive).
I have already shared on each of these strategies. I want to end by sharing the leadership development progression. You may have already heard these four steps of development, but here they are again. Let me say that we should always be developing our leadership ability. There are many areas that we can grow or mature in. To do this we must develop our skills. This is a constant process!
Phase 1 – Unconscious Incompetence
In this phase you are unaware of what you do not know. This is the beginning of the learning process. Maybe you have never heard of leadership, so it is new to you. This is called unconscious incompetence.
Phase 2 – Conscious Incompetence
In this phase you have become aware of what you need to learn. Leadership training and the many different aspects of it are now new and you want to learn more. You have become conscious of what you don’t know.
It is at this time you must develop skills to move to the next two phases. These skills could be listening skills. They could be skills concerning the business you are working in. You can’t be a good leader if you don’t know what you are talking about! You may need to go to school or take a class, but you must develop skills to lead!
Phase 3 – Conscious Competence
In this phase you intentionally apply your skills. Knowledge does us no good unless we apply it in our daily lives! Learn new skills, but please use them to grow as a leader.
Phase 4 – Unconscious Competence
In this phase what you have learned has become “second nature” in your daily life. That means you do it without thinking. You have accomplished mastering that skill.
This development progression is a cycle of learning. There are many things we must learn and will always have new things to learn, so the progression begins all over again. Keep learning and progressing through this transformation. We can all grow as leaders. If ever we needed strong godly leaders, it is today!
Believe for the impossible!
