Leadership Vision

"There's nothing more demoralising than a leader who can't clearly articulate why we're doing what we're doing." --James Kouzes and Barry Posner

Most businesses are started because the founder had a vision about what he or she could create. Sharing that vision with others in a way that compels them to act is the secret to a successful leadership vision.

These are the fundamentals necessary for a vision that excites and motivates people to follow the leader. The vision must:
  • Clearly set organisational direction and purpose;
  • Inspire loyalty and caring through the involvement of all employees;
  • Display and reflect the unique strengths, culture, values, beliefs and direction of the organisation;
  • Inspire enthusiasm, belief, commitment and excitement in company members;
  • Help employees believe that they are part of something bigger than themselves and their daily work;
  • Be regularly communicated and shared;
  • Challenge people to outdo themselves, to stretch and reach.
