for Enhancing the Future: with Stars for Analyzing the Present and Planning the Future
Leadership vs. Management and Administration
In planning for the future, maybe even to 20 years out, the year itself seems far away; but in this speed-enabled digital age, it will be here before we know it. This future requires analyzing the present in order to move forward. Areas to look at are in the points and indentations of the Star in Figure 1.4. The points include: Leadership; People; Culture; Communication; Technology; Innovations; Operations including Organizing (even for families); Mission and Vision. Mission and Vision may also be listed first, if they are clear and not too complex. However the Mission and Vision may shift after considering the Star areas that can always be enhanced and enabled. In order to help kids, families need help too, to avoid a circle loop with kids not developing the way one hopes.
Useful Workplace and Family Enablers that are strategic for Leadership can be found in such areas as:
• Creating the right environment and a culture of excellence
• Encouraging leadership at all levels
• Encouraging leadership as a skill, and encouraging environmental cultural awareness
• Encouraging leadership with strategic thinking, planning and decision making
• Understanding Choice Architecture
We can see that leadership is a complex skill that can be developed over a lifetime, which can be taught, and can be used to motivate, inspire, and develop the workforce and the family to reach to its full potential. Strategic leadership thinking is needed and required to see the big picture and how it all fits together. Even younger children can understand a big picture
conversation. As one three year old said
Character means doing the right thing even when no one’s looking. This means to be able to envision where things are going and how to get there—linking a
desired future state" to the present; and identifying the path to get there. It is important not to drop a goal because the path isn’t clear. Therefore it is necessary to understand the internal and external environments and then communicate potential futures in building a vision, thus to set expectations for continuous improvement via learning, change and transformation (Moore, 2015).
Leadership is built upon planning for change. Leadership behaviors are designed to accomplish change for the improvement of the organization not just for change’s sake. Administrative behavior and responsibilities may be required of the same person as leadership responsibilities in the workplace, but these just keep things going: systems, policies, regulations—these are the areas that fall under administration. Administration alone is not leadership, however, it is just using old processes to obtain old goals. Leadership would be using new processes to achieve on-going goals, or even new processes to reach new goals.

In analyzing the present and planning strategically for the future, organizations and families have to look at the areas shown in the Star diagram in Figure 1.4. Different organizations will rank these differently. This Star chart shows People
as next in the circle but another person in the workplace might show Technology
next.
