What is a Leadership Vision?
A Leadership Vision is a mental picture of who you intend to become as a leader and how you intend to behave.
The more specific your leadership mental picture, the more powerful the effect it will have on your leadership approach and your career .
A leadership vision statement should be clear, compelling, and inspiring. It should describe an aspirational goal that is easily understood, attainable, and memorable.
We also suggest that you write your Leadership Vision as if it were already true, which will set you up for success.
In addition to a Leadership Vision, some leaders will create a short memorable statement that embodies the leader they want to be. (This could be written as a Leadership Mission statement).
Other leaders will also create a story or use an example to illustrates their Leadership Vision.

6 个月Donna Schilder, MCC - this article is great! I like how you give the reader the guidance and prompts to start the reflection process. Don't want to give anything away here, but what I really like is you encourage people to put these thoughts down on paper, so to speak. That's the best way to start... Seeing words is the first step forward to making a vision real. Thanks for your hard work on the article. It made for an enjoyable and valuable read. File away the story and have it as the foundation for a book one of these days!
