Creative Leadership - A Focus on Collaboration, Mentoring and Developing, and Interpersonal Intelligence
An Excerpt from Mastering Leadership: An Integrated Framework for Breakthrough Performance and Extraordinary Business Results, by Robert J. Anderson and William A. Adams (Wiley, 2015)
I continue the series in Creative leadership and the focus in this episode is on leadership collaboration, mentoring and developing and interpersonal intelligence.
A collaborator in leadership means fostering an environment of shared goals, mutual respect, and open communication within a team. Collaborative leaders recognize that they don’t have all the answers and are willing to listen, learn, and integrate ideas from others. Rather than dictating actions or maintaining rigid hierarchies, they emphasize teamwork and involve team members in the decision-making process. A collaborative leader isn’t a passive observer but an active participant who both guides and learns from their team.
A mentor and developer in leadership means focusing on the growth and development of others, not just on achieving immediate goals. Leaders who embrace this role invest time and energy in building up the skills, confidence, and potential of their team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Mentor-developers in leadership understand that their legacy isn't just the results they achieve but also the people they help shape along the way. Their focus on personal development boosts morale, engagement, and loyalty as team members feel valued and equipped to take on future challenges.
Interpersonal intelligence in leadership refers to a leader’s ability to effectively understand, communicate with, and relate to others. Leaders with high interpersonal intelligence are skilled at reading people’s emotions, recognizing their needs and motivations, and responding to them in ways that foster trust, collaboration, and respect. Leaders with strong interpersonal intelligence are often seen as approachable and trustworthy, creating a culture of openness and collaboration.
Have a fantastic week and continue to develop and enhance your leadership skills, behavior and attitude through these series. Thanks a million for taking the time to listen to my podcast. I am very grateful.
