Unlocking Extraordinary Leadership: Embrace Your Vision, Ignite Passion, and Transform the World

Take a moment to reflect on your leadership role and envision the impact you aspire to create. Craft a statement that goes beyond your current responsibilities and captures your vision for your leadership role. By doing so, you will tap into your passion, uncovering what truly motivates you and how you can contribute to improving the world.

W.H. Murray, the visionary behind the 1951 Scottish Himalayan expedition, once wrote:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, and ineffectiveness in all acts of initiative and creation. One fundamental truth is the ignorance of which stifles countless ideas and grandiose plans: the moment one definitively commits oneself, Providence also begins to move."

It is truly remarkable what unfolds when we pause amidst the ceaseless busyness, delve within ourselves, and discover our purpose while resolutely committing to our leadership role. When purpose aligns with determined action, an unstoppable momentum takes hold. This is the essence of living by design rather than default. When individuals know the vision for success within their roles, it propels efficient decision-making and focused attention toward high-value outcomes.

As a rare leader, you possess the ability to guide others in uncovering their contributions by asking thought-provoking questions such as:

Envision meeting your future self upon leaving your current role, whether in weeks, months, or years from now.

• How would you describe that future version of yourself?
• What remarkable contributions have you made? How do you know?
• Have you made a significant difference to the organization and the people you serve?
• How would you define and measure the magnitude of that difference?
• Have you wholeheartedly utilized your talents, gifts, and creativity in your role? In what ways?
• Have you felt yourself stretch, grow, and learn? How have you evolved? What is the most valuable lesson you've learned?

As individuals contemplate these questions, they delve deep within themselves, tapping into the essence of their invigorating passions. In essence, they become engaged. By challenging your team in this manner, you become the rarest of leaders—one who knows how to unleash the immense inner power of their people.

And in doing so, you become extraordinary.

Mckinsey & Company once noted, "Despite the dramatic changes in the way people work, the organizations in which they carry out that work have changed much less than might be expected... Today's large organizations do very little to enhance the productivity of their professionals." In other words, the structures and systems of twenty-first-century organizations often need to accommodate the needs and potential of twenty-first-century workers.

You have the opportunity to be the exceptional leader who transforms this situation. Consider the energy, vitality, and optimism that arise when individuals are deeply engaged—particularly in this era where technology leaves us breathless.

We stand on the precipice of incredible times, and it is within your power to shape and seize these opportunities.
