Visualization is an important success element in your goal achievement efforts. Great leaders have vision. They share a dream and direction that other people want to share and follow. Seeing something in front of you but visualizing something that you can't see yet. Every leader has a vision for himself, their team or company. A visionary always sets clear and decisive goals that will be the guide to the vision they see. When you become a visionary you involve your team members in your vision in way that it inspires them, gets them just as excited as you are to conquer all obstacles and make that vision a reality. A true visionary maintains an enthusiastic attitude that motivates everyone to move in the same direction with good values and beliefs. This inspires and helps your team believe they are part of something bigger than just the work they’re doing.
Visionaries empower and support action that moves the vision forward. So as a leader, you want to make sure you and your team is taken the right action that is moving in the right direction towards the vision. Anybody can have a vision, but unless action is taking place, the right action, it just remains a dream. Leaders provide the proper resources available to help the team keep momentum which is critical in making the vision a reality. Showing support, encouragement and recognition will also help in keeping that fire burning inside to want even more to make the vision a reality.
For leaders, a vision is not a dream; it is a reality that has yet to come into existence. A leader with vision always helps inspire and motivate others, but most importantly it gives YOU the leader a sense of direction. It gives purpose and commitment which fuels that passion of doing what you love to do everyday while helping others. Part of being leader with vision is leading people towards a goal worth having, a goal that just doesn’t affect you but everyone. When having a vision, having everyone inspired to make it reality, this keeps the morale high if there’s obstacles or various forces of resistance. The vision keeps everyone working together as a team, one team one dream. A vision also helps leaders keep the frustrations of the team in perspective, enabling them to live with uncertainty in the short term because they can visualize accomplishment in the long term.
Your key job as a leader is to hold the vision. You have to keep the vision alive, day in and day out. How will you know it is still alive? People on the team is constantly excited, working hard, not being stressed out, understanding it’s not about overnight results. As a leader you want to live, breathe the vision everyday, always talking about it on and on. This keeps the team on board with the vision. The genius of a great leadership group lies in its ability to create a vision that is simple enough to be really understood and remembered, credible enough to be embraced by all, and, above all, special and inspiring enough to have everyone committed fully to working continually towards attaining it.
