Respect and Responsibility
|
|
|
This August issue is focused on two of the most important traits of great leaders- Respect & Responsibility. Making sure that they are in balance is key. Too much or too little of either can result in a leadership style that is off kilter.
There are many examples of people who balance respect and responsibility in a way that inspires others. Hala Moddelmog, former CEO of the Metro Atlanta Chamber, and the 2020 recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for Leadership Character i s one of those leaders.
Our goal this month is to share thoughtful content to educate and provoke action as well as provide you with tools and resources to help you balance these two sides of the scale. We hope to answer the question-what can I as one person do to create a positive change in myself?

The Task of a Leader: Balancing Respect and Responsibility |

Leadership can come from anywhere, but wherever you see leadership emerge, we would argue that you will see what we call the “fundamental balance” - the balance of respect and responsibility. Anyone in Atlanta on Aug. 20, 2013 saw that balance demonstrated for the world to see by a school bookkeeper. We woke up that morning to news of a gunman with an AK-47 in a school. No one knew what would happen, and no one knew that we would learn so much about leadership.
In 1994, we began thinking hard about the core of leadership - what was the essence?

The Timeless Turknett Leadership Character Model
By Tino Mantella
President & CEO TLG
In 1995, when Bob and Lyn Turknett finalized the Leadership Character Model, I wonder if they knew it would withstand the test of time? How could they have imagined that the four tenets on the “Respect” side of the scale (empathy, lack of blame, emotional mastery, and humility) would be discussed more broadly today than, I believe, at any time in the history of this country..

Webinar
Tuesday August 25
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Do You Know you have
a Personal Brand?
|
One’s personal brand is a professional asset that needs to be both developed and safeguarded.
- Hiring and career advancement decisions are based on one’s brand.
- Influence and credibility are essential to one’s brand.
-
And, our own self-esteem and confidence are a reflection of one’s brand.Text Link
|
|
We invite you to revisit and likely tweak how you come across to others both personally and professionally. In addition, you will have the opportunity to appreciate your particular brand assets as a leader. And, you’ll be asked to consider just five words. At Turknett Leadership Group we care about your self-leadership and how to contribute to the leadership of others. We look forward to your participation and ongoing growth—now and for the future.
After the webinar, you will receive additional materials to reinforce the session.

TLG President & CEO
Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closely--Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)--to show how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others.

Some of my favorite Quotes
|
|
|
|
Emotional Mastery:
"Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Leadership
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
-Peter Drucker
Humility:
We found that for leaders to make something great, their ambition has to be for the greatness of the work and the company, rather than for themselves.
-Jim Collins
Respect:
“When people don't respect one another seldom is there honesty.”
-Shannon L. Alder
Courage:
You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. -Christopher Columbus
Integrity:
At the end of the day, because I believe so strongly in leadership, what I look for first, what I try and assess, is integrity.

VP Strategic Services TLG
by Isabel Wilkerson
Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize winner, describes an American caste system where race is a key determinate, and compares it with the caste systems in India and Nazi Germany. Caste is an artificial hierarchy that grants or withholds respect and status, privileges and resources.
I expect this thought-provoking, highly readable book will be on several Top-10 lists this year.
