Supporting Research: Kouzes & Posner
• Requested thousands of “personal-best leadership experiences”– “We’ve found them in profit-based firms and nonprofits,
manufacturing and services, government and business, health care, education and entertainment, and work and community service. Leaders reside in every city and every country, in every position and every place. They’re employees and volunteers, young and old, women and men. Leadership knows no racial or religious bounds, no ethnic or cultural border.” (p. 14)
– The data collected not only came from these various populations, but also from international entities.

Inspire a Shared Vision
• Envision the future by imagining exciting and ennobling possibilities; Enlist others in a common vision by appealing to shared aspirations
– Leaders can more effectively share their vision with others when they have genuine relationships built on trust and share a common language

Challenge the Process
• Search for opportunities by seizing the initiative and by looking outward for innovative ways to improve; Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small wins and learning from experience– Mentors and mentees can provide each other with new
perspectives and mutually challenge each other in a non-threatening environment
– Mentors can provide mentees with the opportunities to process their experiences and celebrate the small wins
