Читать книгу Reframing Academic Leadership - Lee G. Bolman - Страница 24

We are all human and limited in our understanding of the world around us. But that need not derail our leadership. Constituents can teach us a lot about ourselves, about leading, and about our organizations, if we encourage them. They can offer alternative ways to view situations and help to identify our frame gaps and tendencies. Skillful leaders routinely seek information and advice from diverse others. They thank them for their honesty through nondefensive listening, and they acknowledge constituent contributions to successful outcomes. Such conversations will also broaden our appreciation of those around us. We learn about their preferences and talents and strengthen our capacities to work with them. Respecting others and seeking their participation and involvement deepens their commitment to our organizations and to our leadership success.
