Part 1: What the cohort is saying<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Humble Leadership: The Power of Relationships, Openness, And Trust <\/em>by Edgar and Peter Schein[1]<\/a>, sparked many of the cohort to hearken back to past authors.<\/p>\n DLGP 02 \u2013 Jenny Dooley writes, \u201c Peter Northouse, Annabel Beerel, and Simon Walker introduced us to various leadership styles. Each author came to mind as I read\u00a0Humble Leadership.<\/em>\u00a0I became curious about whether the practice of humility existed in the styles of leadership they discussed in their books.\u201d\u00a0 She goes on to quote and connect each of the authors to Humble leadership. Brilliant\u2026Just Brilliant.<\/p>\n DLGP 02 \u2013 Scott Dickie (quoted by Kally Elliot) writes, \u201cWhile I agree we can develop these skills and that they are very helpful in leadership, I wonder if instead, like Scott Dickie wrote in his blog, \u201cHumility isn\u2019t a skill\u2026it\u2019s a way of being.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0A reminder that unlike situational awareness, humility should not be seen as a means to an end.<\/p>\n Part 2.\u00a0 What Edgar and Peter are saying.<\/strong><\/p>\n The authors write, \u201cLeadership is the Creation and Implementation of Something New and Better.\u201d[2]<\/a>\u00a0 They go on to say, these descriptions of leadership emphasize traits of leadership, while Humble Leadership emphasizes the practice of how any of these traits can help drive new and better actions (quoting, Ernst, Ferdman, Greenleaf, Heifetz, Kouzes).[3]\u00a0 <\/a>They do list, servant leadership, adaptive, boundary spanning, learning, inclusive transactional, transformative in their introduction tipping their hats towards the authors that have gone before them.<\/p>\n In chapter 10, they provide some team building exercises that teach: 1) Learning to See Accurately, 2) Learning New Behaviors to Change Relationship Levels, 3) Planning and Implementing Changes in Your Work Relationships, and 4) Humble Leadership in Group Decision Making. [4]<\/p>\n Their last words will haunt me, \u201cThere is nothing wrong with embracing and leveraging interdependence in and between groups, particularly wen the quest for independence can lead to isolation.\u00a0 In the end, the odds of superior outcomes are greater in groups that find synergy in open and trusting relationships.\u201d[5]<\/a><\/p>\n Part 3: (epilogue) The power of the Minus 1 and Team Leadership Geniuses<\/strong><\/p>\n Jennifer Vernham wrote, \u201chow can I best equip our team to use their skills, talents and giftings to build new solutions for problems we have never seen before?\u201d<\/p>\n This resonates with me as I am working with young adults who are so distinctly different but have the same goal of ministering to those in Ukraine.<\/p>\n More collaborative leadership!<\/p>\n However.<\/p>\n Level Minus 1: Total impersonal domination and coercion IS STILL WORKING\u2026.<\/p>\n China \u2013 Xi Jinping These Level minus 1 leaders may take us into WWIII, or not, but Level Minus 1 leaders, the autocrats, are a force that we will have to contend with on the global stage.<\/p>\n The global collaborative agency, the United Nations, has become ineffective. Time for a new one?<\/p>\n My point.<\/p>\n In the U.S., the societal shift does warrant a double take at humble team leadership in order to be more effective. Go collaboration!<\/p>\n But it is a first world freedom ONLY.<\/p>\n The coach I am using this semester is all about team leadership and particularly an identification of the \u201csix Geniuses.\u201d https:\/\/www.workinggenius.com\/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpsGI-JCiiQMVxTXUAR3AVSqAEAAYASAAEgKt_vD_BwE<\/p>\n ChatGPT summarizes.<\/p>\n The \u201cSix Geniuses\u201d often refer to a framework developed by Geniuses at Work, a concept popularized by the author and speaker, Dr. G. L. L. Silva. This framework identifies six distinct ways of thinking and problem-solving that individuals can embody. Here\u2019s a brief description of each:<\/p>\n Together, these geniuses represent different strengths and approaches that can enhance teamwork and problem-solving in various contexts. Understanding and leveraging these different genius types can lead to more effective collaboration and innovative outcomes. (I am paying $100.00 an hour, so I thought I would share it).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Too much?<\/p>\n Anyway, it sort of speaks to diving into relationships and understanding the team (their strengths an weaknesses).<\/p>\n Pam Lau spoke about the root word of humble to be found in humus, or dirt.<\/p>\n As a gardener this has special meaning for me since I am constantly evaluating soil and trying to amend them for better plant growth (I need to amend my soul with Humility)\u2026.but I digress.<\/p>\n For the non Christian writers of this book, I am seeing them reinforcing polycentric leadership. Perhaps they may see the light of Jesus\u2019 servant leadership<\/strong> as their work continues.<\/p>\n Shalom.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [1]<\/a> Edgar H.
