This exhibit shows the five aspects of the centered leadership model and how they interact.
Briefly, these are the aspects:
Meaning. The sense of meaning is what inspires women leaders,
guides their careers, sustains their optimism, generates positive
emotions, and enables them to lead in creative and profound ways.
Framing. To sustain herself on the path to leadership and to function
as a leader, a woman must view situations clearly, avoiding
downward spirals, in order to move ahead and create solutions.
Connecting. Nobody does it alone. Women leaders make meaningful
connections to develop sponsorship and followership, colleagues
and supporters, with warmth and humanity.
Engaging. Successful leaders take ownership for opportunities
along with risks. They have a voice and they use it. They’re also
adaptive and collaborative.
Energizing. To succeed long-term and to accommodate family
and community responsibilities, women leaders learn to manage
their energy reserves and to tap into flow.

One very import way that women can engage and connect
is to learn the game of golf as a business tool. It is a traditional path for opportunities to play with the boss, clients and colleagues. It is an opportunity to “fit in“and have your opinions heard outside of the office.

These are so apt and potential leaders should be in tune with these aspects today. They intertwine with each other and serve as dependants to really make a difference as a leader.

Centered Leadership (CL) definitely brings new insights and dimensions into how to lead and manage resources. I believe that CL has the welfare of the people in the organization as the center from where all activities are derieved. The practice of CL will surely add to a more effective brand of leadership in the operation, maintenance and growth of the enterprise.

I agree with Jennifer, and would add to it that I think a lot of these qualities within the five aspects are ‘ideal’ leader characteristics and not necessarily required. To touch on FA’s point, I’d put meaning on a different level than the rest as well; I think it fundamentally drives all of the rest, perhaps as a basis for growth in all of the other areas.

I found this diagram to be interesting in that you have noted preconditions. Many “leaders” or developing leaders aren’t always strong in those areas and they are viewed as a skillset to learn to become leaders. Just by thinking differently about those preconditions listed, it takes the entry to leadership to a whole new level.

Meaning is the core or the fundamental aspect which give energy to the other aspects of the centered leadership. If you get the meaning of life, you will get the energy to do your best in every aspects of your activities anywhere (not only at work), to make it happen.
