The Art of Leadership by David Rohlander, author of The CEO Code: Create a Great Company and Inspire People to Greatness With Practical Advice from an Experienced Executive. As a fighter pilot in Vietnam, a successful businessman and coach of executives and CEOs, David Rohlander has seen good and bad leadership, inspirational and dispiriting leadership. A bold leader with vision is rare in this world, but it can be created. An Excerpt from The CEO Code: If your intention is to communicate effectively with someone, it is necessary for you to have respect for that person. Many would argue that respect is earned and that not everyone deserves respect. A person is entitled to hold this point of view. However, as long as that is their perspective, they will have difficulty communicating with others. Recently, the president of the United States was interrupted by a reporter in the middle of a sentence during a news conference in the Rose Garden of the White House. !is behavior demonstrates a total lack of respect for the office, as well for as the individual holding that office. News commentators reacted strongly based on their political orientation, either for or against the president. Others were concerned because lack of civility has become commonplace in our country. No matter how you view it, the net result was a negative impact on effective communication between the two individuals, as well as the general population of the country. Lack of respect in our daily lives can be a lot more subtle than this example. I am reminded of the time I was meeting a CEO client in his office, and we decided to break for lunch at a restaurant. !e company was in severe "financial straits, and the week before there was a major layoff. As we were walking through the lobby, the CEO was chatting away, excited to show me his new sports car parked out front. I nodded to the receptionist, smiled, and did a little wave with my right hand. She was new to the office, and I had not seen her before.

Courageious and Creative Decisions by David Rohlander, autthor of The CEO Code: Create a Great Company and Inspire People to Greatness With Practical Advice from an Experienced Executive. “This book is my legacy and I labored over every chapter, sentence and word with painstaking effort and pride. The reactions have gone beyond anything I imagined and it is my fervent hope it will enrich, not just monetarily, the existence of those who chose to read it. My experience writing the book mirrors what Winston Churchill said about such a task, ‘Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public’,” said David Rohlander. Broken down into three sections, Communication, Execution and Operation, David Rohlander’s The CEO Code contains a series of questions at the end of each chapter in Take Time to Reflect pages that consist of seven questions. Each of the three sections, or Parts, consists of five chapters. Part 1, Communication, is broken down into the following chapters: Trust, Respect, Understanding, Empathy and Resolutions. Rohlander, who flew 208 combat missions as a fighter pilot over Vietnam in 1967, begins the book with Communication because it is the foundation upon which all else rests and, as he states in first lines of the book, “effective communication takes more than talent, it is an art.” Building a leader requires the ability to “relate to people” and he shares his insights on “how to read people as part of the understanding required for effective leadership and communication.” Chapters for Part II, Execution are Action, Repetition, Habits, Attitudes and Feelings while Part III, Operation, gets into deeper waters with Teams, Delegation, Systems, Accountability, and Rewards. At the outset of Execution, Rohlander states that the “Cycle of Success is a core concept within The CEO Code” as it “explores proven and practical formula for setting goals and how to structure them so they positive and enabling.” Rohlanders sets the tone in terms of leadership in Part III, Operation, by likening a well-functioning company to an orchestra. First you need “quality music, then each participant must be in the same place on the score; each player of an instrument must be able and willing to play his or her part. You are the conductor of the orchestra.”

How to communicate effectively is the big takeaway that David Rohlander, author of the just released The CEO Code: Create a Great Company and Inspire People to Greatness With Practical Advice from an Experienced Executive, wants to get from a book that he essentially spent a lifetime of experience learning in order to create. Effective communication takes more than talent. It requires trust, respect, understanding, empathy, and resolution. It is an art. Many elements are under the broad umbrella we call communication. How a leader needs to communicate with his or her people is our focus. Communication is by de"nition a two-way process, a form of conversation or dialogue. Popular opinion has a tendency to think communication is mostly about talking and writing, or what we might call “broadcasting.” !is is a very limiting perspective. Broadcast brings to mind monikers like: !e Great Communicator or !e Consummate Speaker, and individuals such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, or Martin Luther King. Half or more of the communication equation is the “receiving” of information. Being able to read or understand what others are trying to say or relate takes e9ort. We need to connect with people on a personal basis. Standing on a podium or using a teleprompter or microphone does not help develop relationships or dialogue.

Traits of the Highly Successful by David Rohlander, The CEO Code: Create a Great Company and Inspire People to Greatness With Practical Advice from an Experienced Executive. Studying the traints of those who achieve mightily can yield lessons for those seeking to climb the ladder of business, politics, military and research. David Rohlander has met a large number of successful people and been a high achiever in a variety of fields, and that knowledge has been transmitted in his new boo, The CEO Code. Respect and Power: Power is a real and necessary part of all relationships. Power is much like money, in that both can be used for good or evil. !e choice is yours and is dependent upon your personal values. !ere are many forms of power; let’s brie:y review a few. John French and Bertram Raven developed a useful model for power back in 1959. Our discussion is based on their views, as well as the work since the 1960s of many people, including Paul Hersey at the Center for Leadership Studies. Dr. Hersey is the originator of Situational Leadership, which he considers to be merely common sense. He also believes that leadership is simply in:uence. Power is one of the ways we in:uence others, and everyone has one or more forms of power. Power can derive from a person’s position or personal attributes. Legitimate or positional power comes from the title, position, or rank a person has in an organization. !en there are two other types or groups of power; one group is based on personal attributes, while the other is o5en referred to as formal or organizational power. Formal power may be broken into several areas that include reward power, connection power, and coercive power. Reward power is the ability to in:uence, control, or bestow rewards upon others. !is may be as elementary as assigning parking spots or determining annual bonuses. Connection power usually has political, family, or special relationships that provide the source of the power. It can be referred to as the “good old boy network,” the fraternity connection, or simply knowing people well because of your work group or discipline within a company. The last is coercive power. !is is well discussed in Machiavelli’s "e Prince. As the word coercive implies, it is the dark side of in:uencing people to do what you want them to do: “I’ve got a deal you can’t refuse.” www.DavidRohlander.com
