Stretching Views of Leadership Development 13 who had a more difficult route. ” Keeping in mind the concept of one’s life stream helps to keep leadership development in a state of becoming, until all of our streams, so to speak, run dry. Two people will experience similar if not identical events in their respective life streams at the same point in development, but end up being very different in terms of their leadership potential. One person may become devastated and unable to ever fully recover, while the other becomes inspired, and goes on to change the world.

Situation: Examine how a follower or followers have had influence on the evolving L-F relationship or task outcome. Briefly tell when, where, how, why they assembled, and other relevant aspects of the situation. Task: State the task of the named leader; include the larger goal or mission if relevant.

Also, unless we can evolve the model, we cannot evolve leadership development. Depending on one’s life stream, the model can become very narrow and resistant to any change. Some people define early on what the model of the world is for them, and then use the lens created to interpret all subsequent events. In the extreme, their model becomes fixed at a point in time and fails to take advantage of new events that could help grow and broaden the individual’s view of the world.
