Many of my clients talk in terms of wanting roadmaps – a metaphor they use for a logical plan that will guide them from point A to point B. I advise them that before they can have one of those they need to first imagine where they want to go… to have a vision that allows their employees to all gaze at the same spot on the horizon. These plans need to be well thought out: make sure the process is engaging and inclusive… get opinions and perspectives from all your stakeholders. Make sure everyone is aligned: they all need to be heading in the same direction towards the same goals. And execute your plan flawlessly, with a cool head and steady hand on the wheel. Leadership is about direction and having people follow you willingly and excitedly. Take the time to understand what’s best for you, your company, your employees, your customers, and your community, and then plan accordingly. Provide inspired, imaginative and effective leadership like that today.
