Shera R. Sever: Igniting the Spark™ » Michael Moore http://sherylsever.com Evoking Solutions for Change: Leadership, Learning, & Community Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:54:06 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 The Leadership Challenge http://sherylsever.com/2008/11/the-leadership-challenge/ http://sherylsever.com/2008/11/the-leadership-challenge/#comments Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:58:31 +0000 Coachshera http://sherylsever.com/?p=640 Last night I felt it, and I am sure you did, too!

As Michael Moore writes in his post today, “we have experienced a stunning, whopping, landslide of HOPE in a time of deep despair.”

One my mentors, James Kouzes, laid out a seemingly simple, yet powerful leadership model and evaluation tool for personal and organizational leadership in his 2002 best-seller, The Leadership Challenge.

After eight (8) long, painful years, America (the USA), has finally elected a leader that:

  • Models the Way
  • Inspires a Shared Vision
  • Challenges the Process
  • Enables Others to Act
  • Encourages the Heart

We have seen that anything is possible with focused intention, commitment, and ACTION. The world has been longing for a leader like Obama.

In Hebrew, “Obama” means Lightening. May he electrify and purify the past by co-creating and helping us all rebuild a better future. Let’s support this transition by awakening our own personal leadership practices.

We are all the messengers of change!
