Topics discussed in Stepping Up (Berrett-Koehler, 2012)
Leadership is not a position.
“You can’t be assigned or appointed to be a leader. Leadership is not about what your business card says, what your title is, or where you sit on the organizational chart in your company. Leadership is a posture, it is a decision that you want to have influence over others in a positive way.”
It’s not my job, it’s not my fault.
“Stepping Up is about taking responsibility for change instead of waiting for others to act, you might ask: What’s in this for me to step up and take responsibility?
Creating a workplace culture of Stepping Up!
“One of the ways we create a place where people will step up is to give people responsibility.”
“Praise for effort, not just results.”
“Go overboard to praise effort as well as results especially if someone goes beyond their role and really steps out.”
