Dr. Abelson’s leadership theory combines a number of the most effective, yet easy to implement, leadership approaches ever developed. He provides 10 winning techniques to be a very effective participatory leader. These leaders get buy-in, dedication, and respect from those they lead, not because they demand it, but because they earn it through 1) showing respect for staff through their willingness and desire for participation in decision-making, 2) demonstrating true concern and compassion for staff and their needs, and 3) their willingness to make decisions even when those decisions may be difficult.
What Happens During The Training
Leaders learn techniques on how to share control, how to reveal vulnerability and fallibility, and how to move their organization forward by making decisions even when others may disagree. Staff enjoy the participation, appreciate the benevolence, and enjoy taking action with the opportunity to modify that action when appropriate. When leaders use all three aspects of this approach, there is true respect for the leader and staff find it easier to follow them.
