We have 357 days left in 2015. What do you want to accomplish and what plans do you have in place to stay on track?<\/p>\n
The best place to start is to have a vision.<\/p>\n
Stephen Covey says:<\/p>\n
Vision is essential because without it we fail to see what\u2019s possible and don\u2019t stretch and develop our creative side (or that in others).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He identifies four human intelligences in his book,\u00a0The 8th Habit From Effectiveness to Greatness<\/em>. They are:<\/p>\n
\n
- Mental (vision)<\/li>\n
- Physical (discipline)<\/li>\n
- Emotional (passion)<\/li>\n
- Spiritual (conscience)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Note that vision is number 1! Traits that help achieve a vision include:<\/p>\n
\n
- Pioneering<\/li>\n
- Achiever<\/li>\n
- People Believer<\/li>\n
- Anticipates the future<\/li>\n
- Thinking outside the box<\/li>\n
- Dreamer<\/li>\n
- Idealistic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Which of these traits come natural to you? Are there any you could develop? Do you have a colleague that is personally strong in an area that could act as a mentor for your growth areas?<\/p>\n
And, what are your professional and personal visions? Are they written? Have they been communicated and discussed? Have you involved the key \u201cplayers\u201d that can help make your vision a reality?<\/p>\n
To clarify, a vision is a dream or aspiration that you as the leader have for yourself and your organization. The vision provides direction and guidance to a place far away. It may be unattainable, but attention should be focused on making strides for reaching the vision.<\/p>\n
Great leaders create a vision and ensure it is carried out; they understand what they want to accomplish, they know they must communicate their vision, stretch the horizons, challenge imaginations, and inspire and energize others to commit to the vision.<\/p>\n
