Other approaches leaders can take

to inspire their teams
The Leader can be inspirational in setting a
stretched goal in a number of different
ways.
This can be by creating compelling
vision(which we can here dub as the
Visionary Approach

Alternately, a leader can meet with

team members and have them
collectively set goals and have them
collectively set goals- called the
Enhancing Approach

 Another Leader might determine

stretched goals by tossing out a
challenge to group and setting
specific deadline by which to make
it. This is known as the Driver
Approach

The team can be encouraged to find

an ethical goal. That focuses on the
organizations mission known as the
Principled Route

team members to determine
what skills each may contribute to
the Teams effort. This is known

 Inspirational Leaders might apply these different

approaches to any of their leadership
responsibilities.

For instance they might take a visionary approach

to champion change by imaging the company
implementing a new strategy or an enhancing
approach by encouraging Team members to
develop an innovative strategy together

 Similarly a leader can produce peak

results by painting an exciting vision of
the future or be marshalling the Teams
enthusiasm to aspire to higher goals.
When Leaders use the right approach,
they can learn to become more inspiring.

feedback and a plan of development,
leaders are able to improve this
important leadership competency

Unfortunately too many leaders stretch people
in areas that dont energize them, which lower
morale and increases turn over.

Inspiring
others
involves
understanding employees strengths,
values and aspiration and helping
them understand how those are
aligned.

 There are so many ways to stifle the

creativity and smarts of your team, just as
there are lots of ways to get the most of
your people. You are either a Diminisher
or Multiplier.

Peter Ngu Tayong

 Diminshers are all over us. They are empire

builders, they suck out fun out of their team,
they are tyrants, they know it all, they are
decision makers and worst of all, micromanagers.
They create the hell of business in
organizations, leading to careers purgatory as
we see in most jobs today.
Peter Ngu Tayong

 Meanwhile, Multipliers are the magnet, the liberators, the

challengers, the debate makers, the talent managers, Chief
Excitement Officers (CEO), constantly bringing, excitement to
the team and breathing confidence and self-worth to their
team

as

their
future.
