Leaders must understand how to bring about change by taking risk themselves and by encouraging people to challenge their models about how things work. Leaders work effectively within existing organizational structures while they seek to improve them. Leaders foster human development and value and protect differing interests. Leaders value learning, for themselves and for all other members of the organization. Leaders foster communication, collaboration, and community building.
Leaders model what they expect of others.
