Outline
Perhaps you are one of the many leaders around the world who would like to:
- Engage your team and organisation – so they do more and you don’t get burnt out
- Draw people together effectively – both from inside and outside your organisation
- See your role as making the most of all the talent – not just telling it what to do next
- Navigate the continually changing business environment to take account of new opportunities and learnings, not just make a plan and hope for the best.
The metaphor of leading as a host, as opposed to a hero or a servant, is currently creating new waves on the leadership and agile scene. Much current leadership thinking seems to put the focus on the leader. This is a mistake. Leading is about a relationship – between the leader and the others.
Host Leadership is about building relationships – at work, in the community, in society, at home – to engage others. This engagement is the key ingredient that leads to increased performance and results. The art of hosting is as ancient as humanity itself – and it can also provide a rich and inspiring framework for many practical leadership skills. It also provides an excellent agile-friendly leadership paradigm for agile coaches and leaders who want to lead better, and leaders who seek better engagement and responsiveness.
