“To the person who does not know where they want to go there is no favorable wind.” -Seneca
“Leaders Provide Vision” is the first core principle of leadership. To be clear, a Vision is more than a pithy vision statement .
A Vision:
- Gives a strong sense of purpose to unite teams in making clear decisions
- Has enough information to provide clarity on what you want to achieve
- In combining those two, provides the ability to inspire forward motion.
Without this clarity, teams and organizations have no “favorable winds” and struggle to make meaningful progress.
Are you working with a Vision that meets the three criteria above? If not, what can you do today to start changing that?
