You don’t have to the the main leader to make a significant impact in an organization, whether it’s at your job, in your family or here at church.
What distinguishes a merely competent leader from one who goes to the next level?
Competent leaders can lead followers… they find, gather, recruit and enlist them.
To go to the next level of leadership, a leader must learn to lead other leaders.
To make it to the next level, you not only have to lead followers, you have to lead leaders who are equal to you… your co-workers.
Leading your peers brings a different set of challenges from leading upward towards your boss.
When you are leading you, you may be seen with jealousy and resentment because of the relationship with your boss.
political…
To succeed as a 360 Degree who leads peer to peer, you have to work at giving your colleagues reasons to respect and follow you.
You do that by helping your peers win which helps them, the organization and you.
The people who find it difficult to lead across are people who find it difficult to build relationships or friendships.
In the 5 Levels of leadership, the first is position leader.
After that, it’s a permission and production.
If you only excel in production but neglect permission, you will influence your boss but not your peers.
If you want to lead across, you need to work for and win your peers permission.
Principles Leaders Practice to Lead Across
1. UNDERSTAND, PRACTICE, AND COMPLETE THE LEADERSHIP LOOP
Many people have difficulty leading across because their approach is short sighted.
They try to gain influence too quickly or all at once.
Leading is not a one time event.
You can’t take short cuts and try to cheat the process.

1. CARING - Take an Interest in People
Sounds simple, but it really does start here.
Paul -
You have to show people you care about them by taking an interest in them.
too often leaders are action oriented or agenda driven, that they don’t make people a high enough priority.
If that’s kind of you - you need to turn it around.
If you are not a people person, ask God to help you.
Then look for value in everyone… put yourself in their shoes.
Find reasons to like them.
Pray for them.

Remember,
“People move toward someone who increases them and away from anyone who decreases them.”
2. LEARNING - Get to Know People
Showing people you care is good, but you also have to get to know them.
Talk to your peers.
Ask to hear their stories.
Try to discover their skills.
Learn to appreciate their differences.
Ask for their opinions on work related issues.
As much as you can, put yourself in their shoes.
3. APPRECIATING - Respect People
Don’t get caught in the trap of respecting people who are just like you.
Learn to admire and respect other’s unique experiences and skills and try to learn from them.
Dennis Bakke makes positive assumptions about people he encounters.
He says they are
are creative, thoughtful, trustworthy adults, capable of making important decisions;
are accountable and responsible for their decisions and actions;
are fallible (make mistakes, sometimes on purpose);
are unique; and
want to use our talents and skills to make a positive contribution to the organization and the world.
If you treat your peers with this kind of respect, they will more than likely respect you and listen to you in return.
4. CONTRIBUTING - Add Value to People.
Few things increase your credibility as a leader than adding value to the people around you.
Here are some ways to do that.
Don’t keep your best stuff to yourself
When you share, it helps everyone.
Fill in their gaps.
Rocky - I got gaps, she’s got gaps… together we don’t got gaps.
Instead of exploiting other’s gaps, try to fill them and both get ahead.
Invest in their growth
You learned to share resources with your leader, do the same with your peers.
When you light someone else’s candle, you lose nothing of your own, you just produce more light.
Take them Along
If you have an opportunity to do something exciting or special, take someone with you
5. VERBALIZING - Affirm people
Think about teachers you had in your life.
Who were your favorites?
Most likely you liked them because they affirmed you.
When you affirm people, you make firm within them the things you see in them.
If you want to influence your peers, become their best cheerleader.
6. LEADING - Influence people
After taking the previous steps, caring, learning, appreciating, contributing and verbalizing, you will have earned the right to influence your peers.
7. SUCCEEDING - Win with People
Good Leaders balance two important motivations.
They want to fulfill their vision.
They want to see others succeed
“Great leaders don’t use people so that they can win.
They lead people so that they all can win together.”
Principle #2 - PUT COMPLETING FELLOW LEADERS AHEAD OF COMPETING WITH THEM.
A group of Cajuns was sitting around bragging about how successful they were.
Thibideaux says, “I just bought me another shrimp boat, yeah, and I got me a crew of ten people workin’ for me.”
“Dat ain’t nottin’,” says Landry, “I been promoted at the refinery, and now I got fifty men workin’ for me.”
Boudreaux hears this, and he doesn’t want to look bad in front of his friends, so he says, “Oh yeah, well I got three hundred people under me.”
Thibideaux says, “What you talkin’ ’bout, Boudreaux?
You mow lawns all day.”
“Dat’s true,” says Boudreaux, “but now I’m cuttin’ da grass at the cemetery, and I got three hundred people under me.”
There is nothing wrong with competition but the problem is that too often we get competitive against those in the same company and it hurts the team.
Instead of competing with the team, complete the them.
Completing Versus Competing
