LDR 1100 Personal Leadership Manual “What do others need to know to get along with me?” As of Aug 20 The ability to influence the transformation of people, organizations and societies requires a dedicated game plan. Just like the coach of a sports team poised to make the championship run, the warrior-leader is concerned not only about winning the battle, but also bringing the troops home safely, the girl scout den mother who is focused on increasing cookie sales to ensure the team can make the annual summer camp, etc. all must have a game plan for inspiring others to join their game plan for achieving the desired goal. This begins with a vision in mind; yet, the leader must also consider how they will influence others to make the journey with them. This influence is the product of the leader communicating passionately, on daily bases, what he/she believes by virtue of all they say and do. In order to accomplish a lot of our goals and desires we have to understand how we operate. In a way, we are like the electronics we use every day. When we first open them we have a tendency to start using them without knowing how they operate. When we use the washer, we do not just throw our clothes in the washing machine and hope for the best…this might lead to white shirts becoming an interesting shade of blue/red because we mixed colors and harmed the fabric. Instead we read the owner or Leadership manual. A personal Leadership manual is a way for people to get to know us. A Leadership manual is a way to get to know ourselves. By understanding ourselves, we convey a compelling leadership message of who we are and the types of things which make us tick.

Finally, remember to develop a COMPREHENSIVE vision/mission/goal for yourself based on the criteria below. Additionally, use the format specified below. Vision, Mission, Goals Your vision, mission will be what you want to accomplish AT TROY or WHILE you are IN COLLEGE. The following information appeared in the chapter on Servant Leadership: Vison. Vision is what gives you and the organization a focus. There are many examples of what a vision means to an organization. Many spiritual and non-spiritual examples exist. There are also humorous approaches to the importance of a vision. Author Lewis Carroll said, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” And baseball legend Yogi Berra said, “If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up someplace else.” Finally, organizations understand the importance of a vision. Tesla’s vision is - To accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. Some are so simplistic TED: Spread ideas. To be successful in life you need to have a vision for where you want to go. For example, a personal vision statement might be I will live each day as though I had all the power and influence necessary to make it a perfect world. This does not mean time will not alter your vision. Things happen. But one of the best things you can do, is sit down and write a vision. This could be a vision for your life—and you should be thinking about that now. But to get started, you may wish to write a time-limited one, five or ten years out. Then state your mission and goals that will help you realize your vision. (Note: the terms goal and objective are sometimes used interchangeably, but objectives are the steps to reach a goal, whereas goals are specific and measurable.) Vision: Be a successful attorney Mission: Attain necessary education and experience Goals: · Earn Bachelor’s degree · Gain acceptance to law school · Graduate from law school · Pass the bar · Get a position with a good law firm You should do such visionary planning for yourself. But it is also crucial for you as a leader. For when you do visionary planning for yourself, you will gain experience on how to shape a vision for the groups and organizations you lead. Perhaps an organization already has a stated vision and mission, then you will be more equipped to lead others in accomplishing the stated mission and achieving the vision. Servant Leaders must be visionary if they are to successfully lead others. Or you may state a longer term vision such as that on the next page. Vision: Lead a life marked by success and service Mission: Grow in all areas of my life—intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually Goals: · Complete my formal education · Obtain a job that has room for growth · Get married and raise a family · Demonstrate love for my family, friends, and acquaintances · Serve my church and my community · Attain financial security · Be a generous but discriminant benefactor Suppose a college student had excellent foresight on what it took to be a college professor. Perhaps he or she had an uncle or aunt who already was a college professor. That student might write the following: Vision: Become a successful, tenured college professor Mission: Attain necessary education and experience Goals: · Earn Bachelor’s, Masters, and Ph.D. degrees · Hold Graduate Teaching Assistantship or Instructorship while doing graduate work · Receive appointment to a university as an Assistant Professor after graduation · Demonstrate outstanding Teaching, Research, and Service · Earn Promotion to Associate Professor with Tenure within 7 years · Eventually earn promotion to Full Professor · Have a career as a successful and respected college professor The three examples given are only to help you. Do not be restricted by them. Construct Vision, Mission, and Goals that fit you. Format/Administrative aspects – THERE IS NO FORMAT… BE CREATIVE!
