Great post Mike. The rubric that Kouzes and Posner use reminds me of the four I's of transformational leadership. Bass &amp; Avolio have researched and written volumes on the topic (Bass died two years ago.). Their four I's are also guides and challenges to the transformational leader. I used their MLQ (Multi-factor Leadership Questionnaire in my doctoral research. It's a very powerful assessment tool.
The Four I's:
1. Inspirational Motivation
2. Idealized Influence
3. Individual Consideration
4. Intellectual Stimulation
Also funny thing, in my quiet time this morning I was praying that God would make me the leader my organization needs. This post is a direct answer to that prayer. Thank you!
Blessings,
Dave
