“A very great vision is needed & the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky.” -Crazy Horse, Sioux Chief
One of the best things a leader does is help you find purpose in your work, helping connect your “why” with a compelling vision.
Your “why” is based on past experiences, is objective & rarely changes. A vision is subjective & based on a preferred future state. A vision creates focus, grabs our attention, clarifies & is results oriented.
When eminently capable people share a common vision connected to their “why” motivation is endless. Huge vision coupled with the right size tasks will have everyone making meaningful progress. What’s your vision about 5 years from now?
Try this vision-casting exercise: You’ve planned a party & it’s amazing! It’s (date) & today I am… What are you celebrating? Who’s there? Why are they there? Describe the atmosphere, the energy, the cause for celebration, everything!
What feelings come over you?
How has your future self changed?
What can you do today to step into that future self…
Best, Karl
