You’ve likely seen this great The First Follower: Leadership Lessons Video about the importance of the First Follower, popularized by Ted Talks.

In the book The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided By Politics And Religion, Jonathan Haidt shares this quote: “…focusing on leadership alone is like trying to understand clapping  by studying only the left hand.”

He claims that the correct question is not why people want to lead, but why people want to follow. Haidt says that people will follow leaders who:

• Establish credibility to the followers around why he or she is the leader
• Will be fair and just, and avoid playing favorites
• Most importantly, make a convincing argument that there can only be one leader (him or her)

1. How much time do you fake leadership?
2. How much time do you actually spend leading?
3. Is your investment appropriate or lacking?

We must prioritize the time and energy to make the team feel like a family, with shared values but differences that create ‘a whole brain’. Everyone eating at their desk alone is not driving trust and teamwork.

Things like celebrating birthdays, project success or here in Indy, an afternoon at the Indy 500 practice have long been eliminated  to focus on real work.

Leadership is real work. ‘Not leading’ is faking it.

In this session, you will re-visit the beliefs you have about practicing leadership, and learn how to build a leadership process rather than a leadership event.

Presenter: Lou Russell (LinkedIn profile) is President and CEO of L+EARN and Russell Martin & Associates. Lou delivers learning experiences that are fun, flexible, fast and measurable. She believes that learning and earning go hand in hand and focuses on faculty development, retention and recruitment of students, project management, leadership and organizational learning opportunities. Lou is the author of The Accelerated Learning Fieldbook and IT Leadership Alchemy, Project Management for Trainers, Training Triage: Performance-Based Solutions Amid Chaos, Confusion, and Change, and her newest book 10 Steps to Successful Project Management. A popular speaker, Lou addresses national and international conferences such as the Career College Association, ACCET, Training 2008, Project Management Institute, Project World, LotuSphere, ASTD and the Society of Information Management (SIM).

Digital business doesn’t just disrupt markets; it disrupts tried-and-true management behaviors as well.

Overreliance on past behaviors now ill-suited to the unique demands of digital business, can create dangerous blind spots for CIOs.

To lead and influence digital business change, many CIOs will need to remaster their leadership styles.

In this webinar Graham P. Waller, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Research VP & Mark Raskino, (LinkedIn profile) VP & Gartner Fellow, outline how to lead & influence digital business change based on 6 specific leadership personas common to successful digital business executive leaders.

Discussion Topics:

• Why conventional management will be disrupted by digital
• The new behaviors of digital business leadership
• How CIOs and executive leaders can drive those behavior changes
