Leaders challenge the Process

Iain Shippey

  1. Challenging the Process

“Leaders venture out. Although many people in our studies attributed their success to ‘luck’ or “being in the right place at the right time,” none of them sat idly waiting for fate to smile upon them. Those who lead others to greatness seek and accept challenge.”

That's a powerful quote from Kouzes and Posner, emphasizing the active role that leaders take in shaping their paths. Their point that leaders don’t just rely on luck but actively seek challenges resonates with the idea of leadership as a proactive journey. "Challenging the Process" is one of Kouzes and Posner's Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, highlighting that great leaders are not passive but continually push boundaries and experiment to make meaningful progress.
