What is Leadership Vision

The young boy asked theold man, "why a fast running horse is better than the slow running horse"? Theold man said, "it has developed the habit to produce more power so that it can run up toten times faster than the slow horse"The youngster said, "and what if the horse is running in the wrong direction"? Theold man smiled and said, "then definitely it has the appropriate factor to waste his efforts ten times quicker than the slower horse" The young man said, " and what if other horses are following him too" The older man said, "off course it will mislead all those horses too!" "Then why all other horses follow the faster one" "Becausethat attracts them but all that glitters is not gold sometimes.


 

Associating this analogy with our daily life, you notice that you are surrounded by mixture of slow and fast pace personalities. Some of them are reallygenuineleaders and some of them are being followed blindly. Overall, here is the summary of the concept of Visionary Leaderswhich I suggest you to ponder:
 


 


 1-If youhave a slow attitude towards life (slow running horse) then you mustdevelop the habit to produce more power in your character. You must be aware of yourreal goals.You must developanalytical skills,Empowered Relationships,Proactive approachand other personality traits such as Commitment, Courage, Communication Skills, Focus, Competence andPassion.
 

2-If you have a faster response to life and quick decision makingthen you must audit yourself on whether you are heading in the right direction? Not having clear goal will take you nowhere regardless of your speed and efficiency. Remember, Onlyhard work doesn't guarantee the success., the vision and strategy are the most important ingredients of the success which is acheived through consistent, productive and effectiveefforts in the right direction.
 3-Are you following a leader? Are you sure you have atrue leader? Areyou sureyou willnot end upon the blocked road? Remember, U-turns are always possible before the dead end but consequences of U-turnwill be more harsh if you don't evaluate the situations on time and delay it to the eleventh hour.
