KEPIMPINAN @ LEADERSHIP

Achieving Leadership
Excellence
“Executive leadership is a key source of
competitive
advantage… it should rank in a company’s top
five
strategic priorities”
(M.W. McCall, 1992)

“Leadership development and succession

planning will be the priority issues of the
next decade”
(Jay Conger, 1999)

“This much is certain: The old-economy model of

leadership
is obsolete. These days, the creation of a vibrant
network
of grassroots leaders may be the most important -
as well as
the most difficult - aspect of developing the art of
leadership”
(Fastcompany, 1999)
Achieving Leadership
Excellence
“Transformational, or socialised, leadership is
directed toward the service of collective
interests, where leaders acknowledge the
need to understand and show respect for
their followers, attempting to motivate them
through reason and emotional appeal.”
(Bruce Avolio & Bernard Bass, 2002)

Each and every leader, can become much

more effective by focusing on a small number
of core aspects of leadership and by
developing a new mind-set about the leader’s
responsibility to herself or himself and to
those with whom she or he works.
(Michael Fullan, 2001)
 How Can People Become
Better Leaders???

•They have to really, truly want to change.

•The changes they seek must be linked to their

dreams for the future, their passion for life, their
values and beliefs.
•They need to see a vision of a future “self” and
know how that vision is different from their current
state.
•True behavioural change happens when it helps
people achieve their personal goals.
•There must be a plan.

•Change takes time and practice.

•Ongoing support is vital to change efforts.

Thoughts on Leadership
 1. We are here in this world to
make a difference
 2. You cannot get anywhere
unless you know two things:
where you are now and where
you are trying to get to
 3. What separates a great
business from another is one
thing - the people: It is the people
in companies that make them
great
-John Macfarlane, CEO
ANZ Banking Group
