Feb. 2013Presentation to the Journey to Leadership Part 1 group in the Ottawa Catholic School BoardThe focus of this presentation is to demonstrate that you don’t need a title or a position to be a leader in our school Board. The small “i” is in reference to the fact that everyone can be a leader if they choose to do so

60 second activity
Group sharing – no names, just share the good, the bad, or the ugly
How do we define a leader – not so easy a task
LeadershipGooru, Stephen Covey, once wrote …But remember that leadership does not just come from the top of an organization
Big L leadership is the positional leadership that we usually think about, like the prime minister, the president, the Director of Education, the Pope, and so onBut we need to think of the small “I” or your role as a leader in the organization
Having said that, now that we are thinking about ourselves, we need to remember that leadership is not about you!
Can’t focus juston the person as a leader
Think about your role in helping others to lead. You may be able to do something better than someone else, but are you developing them into leaders?
One video from a collection of videos available on Youtube- the Nightmare boss

If you are going to lead, you also have to “do” You need to experience what is happening at the ground or main parts of your organization
Key message is that relationships trump everything else
