This is very close to what I discuss in my book Renaissance Leadership Odyssey. In fact I would call it the the standard operating proceedure for being a Renaissance Leader.
You have stumbled upon what I talk about when I say we need to change the leadership paradigm. So much of the existing paradigm is focused less on leadership and more on delivering product and services. That is why leaders feel mid-level leaders are easy to replace because executives see mid-level leadership as driving product or service delivery through oversite of others. The leader is overseeing the task completion of their employees, not leading them.
Scattered all through your post are things I mention in Renaissance Leadership Odyssey that leaders must master and they fall under three pillars that leaders must master: 1. The leaders psychological profile and understanding of their self. This is all about self-awareness that helps lead you to delegation and balancing control. 2. Emotional Intelligence which is all about understanding how to connect with others and the value associated those connections, e.g., trust. 3. Interpersonal Communication: The reality is you must connect with others to understan yourself and to emotionally connect with others. Otherwise you are a stick drifting alone in a large ocean. Two axioms are paramount in interpersonal communication. When there is more than one person involved, everything begins and ends with interpersonal communication. Second axiom: The meaning of the message you send to someone else always resides the mind of the person receiving your message. This is why interpersonal communication mastery is absolutely essential to the Renaissance Leadership paradigm. interpersonal communication is essential to connecting individuals and the role of leadership is primarily community building and enancement of others that leads to developing communities. Humanity defines the needs that leaders will help satisfy.
In my fifty years of leadership in a wide variety of organizations of varying sizes both domestically and internationally, as well as my consulting in leadership development and culture change, the role of leadership has been under utilized. As I helped refocus that role I saw vast improvements. The principles you listed were vital in not just leadership change but organizationals change which often alters the humanity of organizations which we tend to call culture.
