LEMON Leadership
Sunday 24th, February 2008
Leadership styles are presented in many ways. It is interesting to note different ways in which leadership is presented. I recently came across one called 'LEMON Leadership' when the author of book came in for an introduction.

Lemon stands for

L- Luminaries
E- Entrepreneurs
M- Managers
O- Orgainzers
N- Networkers

Author explained that by going through an assessment you can identify which one of the above is your predominant style of operation. It is good to have a team of people with mixed predominant style. Every organization needs people who are operating out of the above strengths.

Extract from the book: 'Definition of LEMONs' is as given below

Luminaries: People who see the world through the lens of ideas, viewpoints, intellectual constructs, the 'Why'

Entrepreneurs: People who see the world through the lens of opportunity, immediate needs to be filled, the 'When'

Managers: People who see the systems, the practical workings, the 'How'

Organizers: People who see the world through the lens of tasks to be done, people to be served, the 'What'

Networkers: People who see the world through the lens of webs to be woven, people to be connected, elements to be gathered, the 'Who'

It proposes a Radically fresh leadership view as a LEMON.
