MODERN APPROACHES
8. MODEL THE WAY
It refers to the most fundamental way in which
leaders earn and sustain credibility
You must believe in the values you express, but
those values must not be merely your own principles,
they must represent what the company stands for
The best leaders are distinguished by relentless
effort, steadfastness, competence, and attention to
detail

9. INSPIRE A VISION
An Exemplary leader is exceptionally good at
imagining a future that does not yet exist
The leader must convince people that he
understands their needs and have their interests at
heart
Leadership is a dialogue, not a monologue

10. CHALLENGE THE PROCESS
Most leadership challenges involve a change in the
status quo and they must therefore challenge the
current process. They must search for opportunities
to innovate, grow and improve
The Exemplary Leaders minimize the risk of failure
for others while making people feel safe and
comfortable in taking risks
Failure is also a valuable learning experience
5 PRACTICES OF EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP
11. ENABLE OTHERS TO ACT
Leaders must strengthen others by increasing self-
determination and developing competence
Leaders make an environment that makes it possible
for others to do good work
In short, a leader must turn his or her followers into
leaders themselves
5 PRACTICES OF EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP
12. ENCOURAGE THE HEART
The leaders should show appreciation for people’s
contributions and create a culture to recognize
accomplishments
For example, establish a public recognition program
that rewards performance. First of all, this serves to
align behavior with the cherished values expressed
