Chi Omega Leadership Training By: Kelsey Kowacz
Leadership • What is leadership?
Leadership is… “A process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal” -Northouse, pg. 6
Who can be a leader? “Everyone, at some point in life, is asked to be a leader, whether to lead a classroom discussion, coach a children’s soccer team, or direct a fund-raising campaign” -Northouse, pg.1
Leadership is… • A trait • A skill • A relationship • An ability • A behavior • An influential process
An Influential Process “Leaders direct their energies toward influencing individuals to achieve something together” -Northouse, pg. 6
Leadership Styles Task-Oriented Style Relationship-Oriented Style “Being rather than doing” Connecting with people is more important than the tasks Right choice for Chi Omega • Goals need to be obtained • “Reason for being comes from doing” • Not the right choice for Chi Omega
Relationship-Oriented Style “On the other hand, it is also true that many groups or situations will also have individuals who want to be affiliated with or connected to others more than they want direction. For example, in a sorority, in a classroom, or even at a workplace like McDonald’s, there are individuals who want the leader to befriend them and relate to them on a human level” -Northouse, pg. 76
Principled Negotiation “…emphasizes deciding issues on their merits rather than through competitive haggling or through excessive accommodation” -Northouse, pg. 184
Fisher and Ury’ Method of Principled Negotiation • Principle 1: Separate the PEOPLE from the problem • Principle 2: Focus on INTEREST, not positions • Principle 3: Invent OPTIONS for mutual gains • Principle 4: Insist on using objective CRITERA
Focusing on Interest “Focusing on interests expands conflict negotiation by encouraging individuals to explore the unique underpinnings of the conflict. To identify interests behind a position, it is useful to look at the basic concerns that motivate people” -Northouse, pg. 186
Closing • Now you have the tools to help you become a stronger chapter. • Keep these things in mind next time you are put into a leadership position.
