Why leaders must envision the future 

For leaders, it’s especially important to bridge the present and future, as they have to define the future not only for themselves, but also for their organizations. Still, because they are so occupied with the extraordinary demands and difficulties of the present day, leaders may miss out on the opportunities of tomorrow. 

The success of your organization will depend on how well you figure out the future. Here are five strategies to help crystallize the future into the present moment and draw you closer to your future self. 

1. See yourself as the leader you could become. Productivity guru Jason W. Womack, author of Your Best Just Got Better, advises that to strengthen and build your professional capabilities, you should set a 15-minute timer and then write, in as much detail as possible, about a future ideal day. Apply Womack’s advice to describing your ideal future. Then ask yourself: What will it take to make this happen? 

Pretty valuable stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree! Why not check out the whole article here  and share your thoughts with me afterwards: call (0404) 056-788 or email me at [email protected].
