1 Leadership Programs Glossary Redefining Leadership

2 The Leader Within The fundamental underlying truth about leadership is that you cannot lead others until you can lead yourself Great leadership works through the emotions. Great leaders move us, they ignite our passion and inspire the best in us, and when we try to explain why you will hear many perceptive reasons, but it is because great leaders drive collective emotions in a positive direction. To become a leader the goal is to grow the greatness within you; to ignite a passion for self actualisation in the service of others and engage your sub conscious in new habits of creative thinking. You will know you are a leader when you stop trying to grow greatness in others. Instead you will have realised that greatness already exists in others, your goal as a leader is simply to elicit it. Greatness in itself is not a function of circumstance, it is function of self discovery, conscious awareness, conscious choice and discipline. The fact is that leadership cannot simply be taught, it must be experienced. It is a continual journey of self-discovery and not a destination. The effectiveness of that journey will depend on the internal foundations upon which it is based, and the cultivated path that it follows. Therefore for true potential to be realised the journey must start from within and be supported throughout A common misconception of a leader is of someone in a team or organisation who is in a position of authority. In other words the conception is paradoxically associated to a title, such as supervisor, manager or captain. The paradigm is that a leader is actually someone in a position to influence, which by definition means the ability to influence yourself as well as others. Therefore everyone in an organisation has the capability and should be considered a leader, which at the very least means they take ownership for their defined responsibilities, holding themselves primarily accountable, and in so doing positively influencing others; If Management is about processes, Leadership is about people. Redefining Leadership Unfortunately, the vast majority of leaders today never learn about Leading Yourself because we are conditioned to skip directly to the principles of leading others Learning to lead from the inside out is the key to leading others and to building the fortitude of character required to lead change. - Derek Mair "

3 Break The Mould Its about your ability to understand emotionally as well as logically. To grasp the concept that we as humans must give meaning to every event, situation or communication, and that the meaning we give is generally based upon our own narrow perception of reality, which is founded on our subconscious programming, which is subject to our irrational emotional or egotistical thinking, which to a great extent was first coded by early influencers, is to grasp the Leadership (or self-development) Paradox Most people s norm is to React based upon their irrational thinking or feelings and become immobilised by them, rather than developing the mental framework to create a new norm that will allow them to rationally review an event, situation or communication from differing perspectives and Respond with ability, (response-ability) to mobilise a win-win outcome. Change begins when emotionally intelligent leaders create a platform where everyone within the organisation can actively question the emotional reality and the cultural norms underlying their team s daily activities and behaviours, expecting response, not reaction This paradigm shift can be delivered at every employment level within an organisation through our Emotional Connection (emc2) Leadership Programs. When coupled with cultural development, an organisation can create new synergies of engagement, contribution, performance and by default results. Emotional Intelligence of an Organisation A common model of leadership is to focus peoples attention on results, which undoubtedly can be achieved, though generally re-actively and to the extent of management control. When you focus peoples attention on constant improvement lead by emotionally intelligent people, supporting purpose, autonomy and self growth, massive results can be achieved pro-actively. Redefining Operational Excellence Ngage-2-Xcel has developed a sustainable and proprietary process, methodology and ethos of LEAN Leadership, enveloped in an Operational Excellence Trifecta that can integrate to support and complement Leadership Programs: Program Participants can engage directly with team members in a Dynamic Enquiry process to identify the operational, behavioural and emotional norms that impact productivity. By focusing attentions on the ideal you create strategy for micro project improvement teams to apply changes and renormalise performance. This process itself becomes the norm. In business behaviours should be in response to our own rational decisions based on empowering beliefs and intrinsic values, rather than a product of external conditions and circumstances based on emotional reactions to strong feelings.- Derek Mair "

4 Closing the Creativity Gap Leadership development is about creating new ways of thinking and acting that can be applied to numerous roles, events and situations. A Leadership Coach takes on the role of a change agent as the situation demands: Introducing a coaching program, with the aim of establishing a coaching culture. Implementing Lean Leadership principles and dispersing emotionally intelligent people throughout. Focus teams on the discovery on current norms, engage attentions on the ideal, apply & normalise. Working to improve self leadership skills to enhance managers effectiveness Working with executives to effectively lead change, or emerging leaders to accelerate careers A simple yet elegant overview, which can be applied to any existing framework, may be defined as Closing the Creativity Gap. Our coaching process will discover the causes of any gaps and engage individuals to be self-motivated and influence teams to get involved in the creative process, and thus raise performance to a higher standard of contribution for the benefit of all stakeholders, in order to achieve the vision. Leadership DNA Model (Development Needs Analysis) Our Emotional Connection, (emc2) Leadership Coaching Programs are customised to the organisation's and individuals unique needs. The premise is to provide a combination of Transformational coaching (positive behavioural change) Accountability coaching (goal setting results). And to the degree required Transactional coaching (business & management skills) The Development Needs Analysis Model broadly illustrates how these coaching fundamentals interact with the personal development elements of our Programs. The challenge most people perceive is the need to improve the world around them, without realising the key to doing so is to improve the world within them. - Derek Mair "

5 Leadership Growth Returns on coaching include but are not limited to: increased focus, more clarity and transparency, more resourcefulness & superior performance. Training alone may teach individuals the concept of leadership; how you should act and react based on a model, and through such media minor change can be accomplished. To effect lasting change leaders of today must develop a broad range of skills and competences in insight, innovation, communication and engagement that will drive the overall direction of their careers and in turn the company. The coaching process offers an arena to discover self-awareness that will strengthen and fortify internal processing mechanisms to deliver outstanding external results, significantly providing a resilience of character for life success, in and out of the business. The programs themselves are strategically designed to help individuals make better decisions, solve problems, be more creative and efficient and development new habits of self-reflection and productivity that endure long after coaching ends. High performing people achieve more; High performing teams deliver more; High performing companies make more profit and enjoy more market share. Through our coaching and training processes we effectively leverage a platform for positive and lasting behavioural change delivered through the appropriate leadership coaching Program, supported by psychometric profiling. The process is not perfectly linear, but does tend to follow these steps supported by an initial alignment consultation with senior management: **DNA: Development Needs Analysis Report **PDP: Personal Development Plan ** A leader starts to influence people through connection because when people have purpose beyond their job responsibilities, when they can see they are working toward something worth achieving, when people feel they contribute everyday to enhance their own journey and that of their fellow workers, when they believe in the values of the leaders and culture, when they feel, trusted, included, empowered to be creative they begin to work with their leader, and follow the path they are on.

8 Create the Platform; Lead the Way Derek Mair Leadership Coach Ngage-2-Xcel Mobile: Website: ngage2xcel.com "Individuals are motivated by a sense of purpose, self growth and autonomy, which promotes contribution. Therefore only a shared purpose can unite a group of individuals with collective values into a TEAM. Subsequently only with a common vision that inspires individuals who feel a sense of connection, significance and inspiration, can you create a platform for TEAM success. The leaders role therefore is simply to influence, to establish and promote the vision, values and purpose of the organisation, and create a platform were individuals can challenge the norms with empowerment to create new better norms within a structured system A purpose is something that guides you; A value is something you live by; A vision is something you aspire to A Culture is something that vibrates, an energy that is at resonance or dissonance within the framework above. - Derek Mair All Models, Graphics, Logos and Models in this brochure are Copyright of Ngage-2-Xcel Ltd All Rights Reserved.
