Stephen Covey: A new approach to leadership
Submitted by The_Architect on February 26, 2008 - 8:00pm.
In this four minute clip from Leaders in London 2007, Stephen Covey, author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, explains what he says are the four roles of leadership: Modelling, Pathfinding, Aligning and Empowering
"To lead people, walk beside them ... As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate ... When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves!'"

If you voted in the World Leadership Gurus Top 30, the Hub's founder, Phil Dourado, came 14th this year (2012), up three places from 17th last year. The organisers say it is "because of the originality and impact of your work" that Phil was put in the Top 30 in the first place. And that means this Hub and the award-winning corporate versions we run for large companies. For more on how a private corporate version of The Hub works, email: phildourado@theleadershiphub.com

RE: Covey's Four Roles of Leadership
Very good because it provides insight in a short time, which is what we are challenged to do when trying to offer useful "tidbits" to those in authority positions that, unfortunately, seem to dictate that those occupying them do not have or do not need to dedicate time for reflecting and/or learning and how to do their jobs best.
