BiVo033: Vision (People do what people see)

One of the chapters in the book “Developing the Leader Within you 2.0” by John Maxwell is titled “The Indispensable Quality of Leadership: Vision”. In today’s episode of the BiVo Podcast, I share a few of the lessons I learnt from this chapter. I’ll start by defining Vision – Vision is your conviction of what the future looks like! I believe it is a glimpse of what your future or that of your team looks like. Make sure the vision is clear – If vision isn’t clear, then the mist in your mind will eventually become a fog in your organization.Find People that will help you with the vision – “When we find our vision, we find our way. However, there is another discovery that is equally important – the people who will join us on the journey to fulfill that vision.”Share the vision as often as possible – When done right, it can never be too often – Without [vision], a team’s energy ebbs, people begin to miss deadlines, team members’ personal agendas begin to dominate, production falls, and eventually team members scatter. Actively seek to be with people who can enlarge you and your vision – Are you actively searching for people who can enlarge you and your vision? Is it one of your top priorities? If it’s not, it should be.Know that the vision is progressive – There is always more to see if you prepare yourself to see more.
