I do think that the leader should cast a vision for the future. Not everyone will climb on board with the ideas espoused, but those that do will make a real difference. As you cast your vision, what is it that you want to accomplish? You can have some short term goals, but the tough stuff takes a while to accomplish. Shooting for the moon is not such a bad idea. To end this, here is another quote, “Aim high and you won’t shoot your foot off.” Phyllis Diller
Quote: Vision and leadership
Vision and leadership go hand in hand--that is if you want to be effective as a leader.
“However visionary, a leader with no followers is just a guy out taking a walk.” Robert Bell I like reading about leadership and observing other leaders. I know that I’m not a perfect leader myself, but I can always improve. Someone once told me that If you turn around and no one is following you—you are not a leader. In the military we had annual evaluations that really counted. There was one report that someone wrote of a lieutenant that said, “His men follow him out of pure curiosity.”
