The Different Types of Leadership
Intrinsic
“Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something your want done because he wants to do it”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Extrinsic
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
John Quincy Adams
Systemic
“Success is not final. Failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
Winston Churchill
No matter our “style” the defining question is…
“Do those served become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous and more likely themselves to become servants?”
Robert K. Greenleaf
Our goal is to move people, teams and organizations toward the I. I > E > S
Systemic: Every person interacts with systems that treat them primarily as abstractions (like a number) or parts of a whole, rather than as unique individuals. Interactions with systems and structures are an important part of navigating daily life. Whenever you identify yourself as part of a larger group or category, as a “piece of the puzzle” or as part of a process or system, you are describing your systemic identity.
Extrinsic: Every person fulfills roles in life: these roles are associated with a person’s tasks and relationships, and other people’s expectations of them. The overlap and combination of these different roles form the individual’s extrinsic identity. This is an important facet of your self-concept: you use extrinsic language whenever you identify yourself with a job, relationship, or set of external expectations.
Intrinsic: There is an aspect of every individual’s identity that is utterly unique to them, and which sets them apart from all other human beings that have ever existed. Even if two individuals have identical systemic and extrinsic identities (inhabit the same systems, perform all the same roles, and have similar relationships) they are not and can never be the same person. This final aspect of self is the intrinsic identity: the part of you that is always you no matter where you live, what you do, or what other people think of you.
