What your colleagues are saying

For the last two years I’ve enjoyed the Leadercast series. While all the speakers have been outstanding, I have especially liked the leadership topics presented by John Maxwell. He speaks about connecting with people in order to influence them. Leadership is always about others and by understanding his 5 levels of leadership, it’s easier to see that you can be on different levels with different employees and yet function as a highly effective team.

When I received the invitation to the Chick-Fil-A “Voices of Change” Leadercast event, my first thought was ... OK, I know there are changes happening all around us here at Johns Hopkins. So learning how to be a better “voice of change” would probably be good for me. So I agreed to attend.

Well I had no idea what was in store for me. The day-long event was motivating, inspiring, informative, and fun. Not only did I enjoy the event immensely, I agreed to participate on a committee for next year’s event because I didn’t want a single leader in IT@JH to miss having the opportunity to attend this. So what inspired me from this event? John Maxwell.

John spoke about the 5 levels of Leadership. I wanted to know what level I felt I was on and what I needed to do to get to the next level. John provided a road map of understanding. From his presentation I seemed to be on the “production” level of leadership (level 3) characterized as “producing by example”. I wanted to be on the “people” level (level 4) characterized by producing through the strengths of others (i.e., my team). The best take-away from John’s presentation to me was this:

Leaders create momentum – momentum creates change – and momentum will take care of 80% of the problems you encounter along the way.

Every day I try to keep the momentum going. But I realize I still have a long way to go. I’m still learning!
