Leadership is the practise of getting the people to face complex collective responsibilities
It is unpopular and dangerous
• Leadership requires Change • Change requires LOSS • Loss leads to DISTRESS • Distress can be PRODUCTIVE • Productive zone of Distress
MAINTAINING people within THEIR Productive Zone of Distress

Leaders, Heroes, Rock Stars.
There is perhaps no more corrosive trend to the health of our
organizations than the rise of the …rock star leader whose deepest
ambition is first and foremost self-centric.
Jim Collins 2001
Ego-centric --------- Altruistic
Theory & Practice
“The young Executive arrived at a unionised textile mill and told the Union Officer
‘I am the new Manager here, and when I manage a Mill, I run it. Do you understand?’
The Union Agent nodded and waved his hand. Every worker stopped; every loom stopped.
Then the Agent turned to the Manager and said, ‘Go ahead, run it.”
Authority is a relationship not a possession
Symbolic Authority Golden moments of Truth
I hear what you say but I see what you do and
seeing is believing

1 1 2 + = relationship determines outcome
Authority is a relationship not a possession I hear what you say; but I see what you
do and seeing is believing

Identify the Adaptive Challenge
Regulate the distress
Create the Holding Environment
The Seven Principles for Leading Adaptive Work
• Create the heat • Sequence & pace the work • Regulate the distress
Protect the voices of Leadership from below
• Resume responsibility • Use their knowledge • Support their efforts
Get on the Balcony
Give back the work
• Work avoidance • Use conflict positively • Keep people focussed
• Ensuring everyone's voice is heard is essential for willingness to experiment and learn • Leaders have to provide cover to staff who point to the internal contradictions of the organisation
• May be a physical space in which adaptive work can be done • The relationship or wider social space in which adaptive work can be accomplished
• A challenge for which there is no ready made technical answer • A challenge which requires the gap between values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours to be addressed
• A place from which to observe the patterns in the wider environment as well as what is over the horizon (prerequisite for the following five principles)
Maintain Disciplined Attention

Inputs & Outputs
• Public Managers are not limited, as they are in the private sector, to the provision of goods and services; “often public managers are in the business of imposing obligations not providing services."
• Probably the public managers most commonly thought to be engaged in this “retail delivery of obligations” are those in policing.
Moore 1995

• ‘The most common form of human stupidity is forgetting what we were trying to do’ (Nietzsche)
• ‘The most common form of human stupidity is forgetting what we were trying to accomplish’ (Graham Allison),
• which leads to question zero, ‘what exactly are we trying to accomplish?’
• the technique of ‘the 5 whys’. Asking ‘why’ repeatedly until clarity about the purpose is achieved
• a common failure is confusing activity with results

The Police & Community Policing
• 17, 048 police officers in Scotland
Absence and office duties • 16,000 police officers
work 6.25 hrs a day 218 days per year
• 15, 456, 200 front line hours on duty per annum
• 3,272,220 citizens of working age in Scotland
• 47secs policing per citizen of working age per day
Three key questions • is it administratively and operationally possible? • is it politically and legally possible? • is the purpose publicly valuable?
Three key activities • managing downward towards improving the organisations capabilities for
achieving the desired purpose • managing upward, towards politics, to get or maintain legitimacy and support
for that purpose • judging the value of your imagined purpose

The Parade 2003 – the results
Drumcree 2003
The annual protest by Orangemen at Drumcree has passed off peacefully.
The parade, which was banned from returning along the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road, left Carleton Street Orange Hall at 10.20 BST. After a service at Drumcree Church, Orangemen walked to a police gate at the bottom of Drumcree Hill and staged a brief protest. PSNI Chief Superintendent Alan Todd said the day had gone very well and police had to use fewer officers than at any previous Drumcree.

Drumcree parade passes peacefully
Drumcree 2007
The Orange Order march at Drumcree, Co Armagh, passed off peacefully today.
The Parades Commission had ruled that the Drumcree march be rerouted away from the Garvaghy Road, continuing a ten-year ban. The Drumcree parades dispute has caused tensions since the mid-1990s, but recently it has not generated the large scale violence seen in the past. Recently, talks between Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams and Portadown Orangemen fuelled speculation the issue has been drawn into wider political negotiations between Sinn Féin and the DUP, but both parties have denied this.

Drumcree 2008
Drumcree 2011
The annual Orange Order parade at Drumcree in Portadown has passed without incident.
Orangemen have been banned since 1998 from going down the mainly nationalist Garvaghy Road in Portadown after their annual march from Drumcree church. Hundreds of Orangemen took part in the march and Sunday service at the church. They handed a protest letter to police over the Parades Commission's refusal to allow them to return along what they say is their traditional route.

Public Value
• No (concrete) bottom line – Using Money & Authority to co-produce Goods, Services
& Obligations • “often public managers are in the business of imposing
obligations not providing services.“
• Unwilling & the Unable
• You – The People -v- The Person
"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them"
