HOW GIVING LEADERSHIP WORKS

Giving leadership seeks to move management and personnel interaction away from "controlling activities" and toward a more synergistic relationship among parties. Similarly, to the term "servant leadership." A giving leader works tirelessly to develop his or her people and is focused on what they can do for others. Perhaps the job of a leader is to help their followers succeed. After all, managers don’t win games: teams do. This is the philosophy behind giving leadership.

THE GO-GIVER LEADER

Leadership Principles that Move You Forward.

If you took five minutes to talk to your team about their thoughts of you as a leader, what would they say? Would they say that you were a giving leader? A leader with a giving spirit is a truly invaluable asset, and everyone in a leadership position should seek to adopt this type of mentality. Paul reinforces a unique message into this course through his own personal experience of applying the universal laws from within the international bestselling book: The Go-Giver, and The Go-Giver Leader by Bob Burg and John David Mann. The principles within the book took the business world by storm with its message: that shifting our focus from getting to giving is the simplest, most fulfilling and most effective path to success in business and in life.

Common Features of Giving Leadership

Unlike authoritarian leaders, the giving leader does not depend on accumulating or exercising power within a company. the giving leader approaches situations and organizations from the perspective of a servant first, looking to lend their presence to answer the needs of the organization and others. They seek to address wants and requirements as their priority, with leadership to be pursued secondarily.

  • CONSIDERS THE NEEDS OF EMPLOYEES FIRST. Giving leaders focus on satisfying the highest-priority needs of others and feel a strong sense of caring and responsibility for their staff.

  • COMMITS TO HELPING EMPLOYEES DEVELOP EXPERTISE AND IMPROVE PERFORMANCE. Giving leaders prioritize the personal and professional development of others, ensuring they build their knowledge base and professional skills.

  • INSISTS THAT THE ORGANIZATION MAKE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY. While not losing their focus on a healthy bottom line, giving leaders make sure an organization improves its community, region, and nation.
