Common misconception: A "quantum leap" does not

mean a big jump, even though many people use it that way. In fact, it's an infinitesimally small change, but the key is that it's a direct jump from

The Essence of Leadership & Management


One does not ‘manage’ people.The task is to lead people.

Management isthe practice of making

it simple for peopleto bring everything remarkable

that they areto everything they do.

To be who we are,and to become all that we’re capable of becoming, is the only purpose in life.

Management =PPPPSThe key question to answer is:Does this mean it’s simple for people to bring their very best to their work every day?



The standardyou walk pastis the standard

you accept.

Management faltersand usually badly

without leadership.

Leadership Purpose


The mantra is more is better,and the edict is more with less.

Essentialism is one of my favourite books.

a central theme of the book isLess but better.


Less but better is the underpinning philosophy of my work with clients:

leaders doing less, yet achieving better business results, while living a vital and

fulfilling personal life.

A key to living this dream is Creating more leaders.

Leadership is not defined by the exercise of power but by the capacity to increase the sense of power among those led.

The most essential work of the leader is to create more leaders.

Mary Parker Follett in ‘The Creative Experience’, 1924.

Imagine more

people leading!

The number one role of leadership


Enhancing their gifts

In this great book authors Bill Conaty and Ram Charan state:

Talent will be the big differentiator between companies that succeed and those that don’t.

Talent masters understand the subtletiesthat differentiate people.

The enlightened CEO recognizes that his top priority for the future is building and deploying the talent that will get it there.

Maestro of gift/talent enhancement

mastery of seeing people as they can be rather than as they are and helping them bring their best to their work.


If we see man as he is,he can only get worse.

If we see man as he could be,he can only get better.


There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.


People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Change


Everything we know about change

has changed -except one thing.

www.ianberry.biz


How we feel as human beings


If we’re not sure,we stay with the status quo.


If we feel change couldmake us feel worse -we resist,or run the other way.


When we feel change will help us to feel better -we embrace it.

The good news is:


There’s a challenge we must overcometo ensure this good news

works for us.

We can not solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.


We live in times ofunprecedented change

The key to thriving hasn’t changed!

The best way that I know of to overcome this challenge

is to enact the science of quantum leaps.

Stress is causedby being here

and wanting to be there.Eckhart Tolle

All change ispersonal first.

Organisational change isa distant third.

and not them.


We keep bringingin mechanics, when what we need is gardeners.

If change is happeningon the outside fasterthan on the inside -the end is in sight.

2) People aren't being fullypresent in the moment.


1) Change isn't being embraced in a human way.

The 4 faces of change fatigue

4) We've overcomplicated pretty much everything.


3) People are being snared by subtle traps.

opinion overload, sea of sameness, and media mania are the big 3.


If it is to be,it’s up to me.

Shared-view

Yours Ours Mine

The three worlds and the immense power

of shared view

Real leaders don’t compromise. They do co-promise

© Ian Berry 1990-2009


where you're going (possibility)

how you will get there (strategy)

who will do what and when (execution)

how you will know you’re on track(milestones and lead measures)

why you're going there (purpose)

where you are (reality)

The significant seven of shared-viewhow you will behave along the way (culture and values)

Strategy


Strategy islike a compass

Execution is like a

quilt map(every employee

must have their piece)

Building on Hemingway’s wordsLeaders Cafe Founder Kwai Yu

Could you describe your strategy in 6 words?

Without execution, strategy is useless.
