Houston, we have a problem. It’s one thing to have work to do
in order accomplish a goal. It’s another thing altogether when you are
trying to help work through a problem that won’t talk. It’s like taking
your car to the dealer and asking him to fix it, but just telling him
to fix it without leaving him the keys, telling him what’s wrong, or
giving him permission to fix the problem.
We saw expressed Dave Rahn’s 3 types of leadership. When these three
types of leaders work together you have a powerful thing. (Business
types call this synergy) When you have these three types of leaders
going in different directions with different motivations, you have a
unique ability to do nothing, at best. The former is world changing,
the latter is world damaging.
- Positional leadership: I am a leader because I’ve been elected to the position.
- Task leadership: These are the worker bees. They lead by action alone.
- Leaders of influence: These are often leaders who sometimes hold positions and sometimes are workers, but are highly influential.
All that to say, it’s time to focus on something else.
