At New Horizons we place a high value on modeling "Exceptional Leadership Essentials."
This page is intended to prompt discussion on the topic. It is our hope that we can, thus, inspire conversations that take up this theme, as a counterpoint to the controversial leadership we see around us day-to-day.
As we seek to promote dialogue on the subject, here is a beautiful story on podcast about my father and how he modeled the qualities of exceptional leadership for me.
Also be sure to find out how you can become a player in New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME where we both role model-- and -- teach the essential skills of "Exceptional Leasdership" we are suggesting here.
Leadership Is A Lifestyle!

Jack and I (Anastasia have been focusing attention, for the past month or so, on what we, at New Horizons, call Rabbi "Ed Friendman's Three Pronged Formula For Exceptional Leadership," as he discusses them in his noteworthy A Failure Of Nerve, relating them to some of our discussions and comments on The Current Presidential Election Campaign Crisis.
In summary "The Three Pronged Formula For Exceptional Leadership is --
- Defining oneself and one's values by standing in your truth and acting accordingly;
- Investing in connections with others. Or as we have titled this, "Leaning In." In today's culture this attribute could be described as high in Emotional Intelligence including empathy.
- Maintaining a non-anxious or non-reactive presence.
Action Steps
- Ask yourself to what extent do I behave and model the above three qualities in my day-to-day activities?
- Rate yourself weak or strong on each of them.
- Read Ed Friedman's A Failure Of Nerve: Leadership In The Age of The Quick Fix for deeper insight on this theme.
- Then reflect what you have read and ask yourself the above questions again.
- Begin a new journal for yourself to keep track of your reflections, growth and development on becoming more and more of an "exceptional leader."
- Keep reading our blogs and listening to our radio shows for guidelines on your adventure.
