Vision

Vision. It's not just what you see; sometimes it's about what you don't see, but what you want to see. You ever ponder on this?

People can have a vision about where they want to go, what they want to accomplish, how they want to get there. Businesses are supposed to have a vision as well. It's all about "where are we going and who wants to go with us."

I always enjoy listening to great leaders (whether the leaders of industry, nations, religion, etc.), to hear their passion and to listen to their vision. I learned in a leadership session once, some of the keys it takes to be a great leader (sorry but I can't remember which one now or who said this) but there were three keys to it and it all surrounded vision. From my notes, the three keys to a great leader are:
  1. A passionate vision.
  2. The ability to share the vision so that you get disinterested people to follow.
  3. Exhibit no embarrassment in the articulation of the vision.

Think about the people you'd call great leaders and see how they applied each of the items above.

My question: Are you sharing your vision with others?
