Urzsula believes effective leadership requires three elements: the leader, the follower, and the common goal. Failing to recognize your limitations, going after the limelight, and shifting your goals with unpredictable behavior all put this effectiveness at risk.
Pauline suggests a framework of the leader-as-philosopher, one who constantly asks themselves whose interests should be considered with every decision, and why.
In her leadership development classes, Pauling teaches students how to listen. By inviting followers to give suggestions and reflect on how they can be part of the solution, leaders can help develop empathy, and an understanding of the complexity of the problems they face.
“Instead of reducing communication to a one-way relationship where the leader gives the answers, I remind my students that the best communication is built on a two-way, equal relationship,” Pauline explains.
