The Strength Based Leadership Quadrant
By David Zinger on Jan 17, 2006 in David Zinger
The site has been available for just over 2 months. There have been over 1500 page views since the inception on Novermber 11th. I am honored and gratified by such a strong early response to the articles. I am very indebted to Rosa Say for including one of my posts in her 2005 Hawaiian blog carnival on Management and Leadership for Talking Story.
I plan to develop and enhance the site in the next few months. On Febuary 2nd. (Ground Hog Day…Ony the shadow knows for sure) I will be inviting readers to participate more fully in strength-based leadership by engaging in a Google hosted Strength Based Leadership Group. If you want an advanced look at the site click here.
I designed a 4 color quadrant to represent strength-based leadership. The 4 color quadrant logo was created to represent the essential 4 dimensions of strength based leadership. The quadrant also represent the solidness and strong base of the approach.
The green part of the quadrant respresents the core of strength.
The red part of the quadrant represents the love and caring that flows through leadership.
The yellow part represents the energy that is so vital to working with the approach and to use strength based leadership to energize others.
The blue part of the quadrant, the color of sky and water, represents the pervasiveness of areas in work and living where strength based leadership can be applied. For example see this post profiling Esther and her strength as a way of being.
At the centre of the quadrant the four colors meet. Strength, love, caring, and you coming together to transform the ideas and concepts into living leadership.
