It's hard to imagine discussing "the leader of the future" without having a discussion with Ronald Heifetz -- one of the world's leading authorities on leadership. Heifetz, 48, director of the Leadership Education Project at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, is a scholar, a teacher, and a consultant. His course at Harvard, "Exercising Leadership," is legendary for its popularity with students and for its impact on them. His students (many of them in mid-career) include leaders from all walks of life: business executives, generals, priests and rabbis, politicians. His clients have included senior executives at BellSouth, who brought him on to conduct a twoyear program on leadership in a fast-changing world, and the president of Ecuador, who is struggling to lead that nation through tough economic times. What makes Heifetz's approach to leadership so compelling is that he is so honest about what real leadership demands.
The book that rocketed him to prominence was
called Leadership Without Easy Answers (Belknap/Harvard University
Press, 1994). The role of the leader is changing, Heifetz argues. The
new role is "to help people face eality and to mobilize them to make
change." And making change is painful: "Many people have a 'smiley
face' view of what it means to lead. They get a rude awakening when
they find themselves with a leadership opportunity. Exercising
leadership generates resistance -- and pain. People are afraid that
they will lose something that's worthwhile. They're afraid that they're
going to have to give up something that they're comfortable with." So
why bother to lead? "There are lots of things in life that are worth
the pain," he says. "Being a leader is one of them." In a series of
conversations with Fast Company, Heifetz offered ideas, advice, and
techniques for the leaders of the future.
