Why Vision is Everything for a Leader
Vision is everything for a leader. It is utterly indispensable. Why? Because vision leads the leader. It paints the target. It sparks and fuels the fire within, and draws the leader forward. It is also the fire lighter for others who follow that leader. Show me a leader without vision, and I’ll show you someone who isn’t going anywhere. At best, he is traveling in circles. To get a handle on vision and how it comes to be part of a good leader’s life, understand these things: Vision starts within. Look inside yourself. Draw on your natural gifts and desires. Look to your calling if you know it. Vision draws on your history. Talk to any leader and you’re likely to discover key events in her past that were instrumental in the creation of her vision. Vision meets others’ needs. True vision goes beyond what one individual can accomplish. If it has value, it doesn’t just include others—it adds value to them. By John C.
