04:49- What are the four different kinds of leadership?
- First is controller leadership. And that was really about factory work, where you really control the resources.
- And human beings are there as cogs in the wheel of the machine, so it’s all about control.
- Then we have therapist leadership where the idea is happy workers are more productive workers.
- And then we have Messiah leadership, and that was about transformational leaders.
- This idea was that you’d get this charismatic leader with a vision and everyone would follow them wonderfully.
- Then we have eco leadership. And this phase comes about kind of in parallel to the internet to the new technologies of globalization.
- NP and leaders are realizing that you have to think about organizations as ecosystems within ecosystems.
07:36- Are leaders born or are they made?
- Leaders, we all have different personalities.
- And we’re all created with our social environment.
- So we’re made, we’re socially constructed.
- We have different personalities, which kind of takes us in different directions.
10:59- How does culture impact coaching?
- A lot and I think, often in the West, we don’t account for this enough.
- But coaching, kind of the dominant force of coaching, comes from the USA.
- They’re the dominant, the biggest publishers out there that have more coaches there than anywhere else, so people don’t think enough about how culture does impact.
- When you’re working in different cultures, there’s a different understanding of self.
- And I think coaching really has to kind of learn how to adapt much more.
