Episode 58: Put Your Own Mask on First 2: Role Modelling
Put on your own mask first – practice what you preach
Role Modelling
If you are not looking after yourself, it isn't easy to look after others.
How will people learn from you?
People observe us as leaders. They listen to what you say and watch what you do. You give them a chance to improve.
Some key points to being a great role model.
Doing what you want others to do. Lead from the front.
Role model leaders have more impact than they realise. It is not easy, and therefore when you are a role model leader, it is easy to underestimate the impact you are having.
Leaders do their best to make a difference but at the same time set up a framework that faciliates others to shine and make a difference.
e.g. Alan Roger Mulally is an American aerospace engineer and manufacturing executive. He is the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Ford Motor Company. He was instrumental in the design and manufacture of the Boeing 777 jet. Alan was caring and genuine, along with a high level of rigid standards. Jets are built by people, and a close-knit team with a positive work experience is imperative to success. He was able to bridge the gap between process engineering and the people aspects.
e.g. Nick Johnston was a great leader because he was solid on the organisation's values. Everyone had to have the same values and adhere to the culture. He was prepared to reward and recognise based on adherence to the values and culture of the organisation. Nick is a salesperson, and even though he was the CEO, he was selling every day and demonstrating best practices to his people.
Jude Butcher and Maureen Walsh were mentors for Steve's PhD program. They dedicated a lot of time seriously and earnestly. They were not subject matter experts in the same way, but they produced a framework that set Stev up for success. They set high standards, which stretched him and helped him achieve at an appropriate level. Jude and Maureen contributed what they knew and were good at while letting Steve succeed and shine.
Through collaboration, the complexity can be increased in a structured way. A great leader can facilitate the process without having to know everything.
