Modeled Leadership

Modeled leadership is something that will help you paint the picture of how you are first introduced to the concept of leadership . It is usually shown as early as your childhood days and transitions as you grow into a teenager or during the time you ’ re growing up . The idea of “ Model ” in leadership is to demonstrate and display it before you . Let us go back and think about my experience back to the time when I first received and watched my first visual model of leadership . Let us go back and reflect back on my upbringing . As a woman , I want to help you to understand that some of us may not have that ideal picture of leadership .

Thinking about leadership term itself , think about how it was defined as explained by my mentor Dr . John Maxwell . Leadership for him is about influence , nothing more and nothing less . This idea of modeled leadership is the type of influence that is displayed before us as we were growing up and as we were reared . You are strongly influenced depending on your background . You are strongly influenced with how you were raised and the environment you are in . These factors impact your ability to see and to experience modeled leadership . With that , a concern for the lack of strong models arises .
