I believe we all have a leadership program. If you are familiar with NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, you know the speak a lot about internal programs. In this case I imagine our leadership program containing a set of beliefs and structures about our traits as a leader, how we believe that others will perceive us and what results we can achieve.
Sometimes these beliefs, the systems can be very supportive and sometimes they can be very limiting. I just spoke to a corporate leader today who was very thankful towards two of her collegues who believed in her as a leader before she did herself. She was convinced that without their support she would not be in a leadership position today and much less feel like a leader.
This would be a perfect example of a leadership program at work and how an old one was replaced by a new one by supportive people in the environment had higher expectations of the person than the person did herself.
