Leaders Have Vision

Happy Thursday,

As a leader, do you have a vision?  Is your vision crystal clear to you?  

As a follower, does your leader have a vision?  Is his/her vision crystal clear to you?  Would you rather follow a leader with a vision or a leader without a vision?

A vision is something we see in front of us. You have to have a vision of where you are walking or you will probably trip, run into something, or possibly even go the wrong direction.  If you are leading your team, whether it's 1,000 people or 2 people the same is true.  

Think about some of the great leaders and their visions...Henry Ford and mass production of the automobile or George Washington and the destiny of the United States.  These two leaders had vision that carried on long after they were gone.  I bet there teams (followers) knew exactly what their vision was.

Think about your vision.  Make it so clear in your mind it feels real.  Write it down, talk about it with others, and share that vision with your team so everyone is on the same page. 

Thanks for reading my Thursday Think Tanks and please share with anyone you care to share with.  I would like to add more to the e-mail list, just let me know who.  My vision for this weekly e-mail is to get everyone it touches to think a little differently and help move our teams forward.  

Enjoy your Thursday,

Chris
