Leading with a vision
„If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.“
– Maya Angelou
What makes a great leader?
Ever wondered why some of your prospect leaders succeed in their roles as a leader, pushing limits, motivating their employees and always focussed on solutions while others merely exist and are barely able to flip the switch from being an employee to finding purpose and joy in leading people?
What makes a great leader?
What brings companies to attract and keep good people contributing to joint success of the company and the team likewise?
The Answer to that is: Purpose
Purpose doesn’t grow on trees. To generate purpose one needs a Vision.
Not any kind of Vision, that your global strategy department has developed for the whole company.
We’re talking of a personal vision & clarity
What does leadership mean to you as an individual working for a company?
Who are you as a leader & who do you want to be and why?
What are your professional goals & values and how are you able to live up to these in your daily professional life and being part of an organization?
Unlike old time, where professional life has been separated from personal life and people were willing to endure adjusting to environments that don’t reflect their personal values.
Today young talents demand congruency between their own values and what the employer defines as the organizations values and how these words / worlds(?) are truly lived up to.
Gallups Study on employee engagement in german cites, that a majority of german companies “have not progressed in fulfilling the fundamental, human needs of their workers.“*
Now, you might have already had experience with disengaged employees and you might wonder how can you develop managers that thrive on engaging their team, while having their individual needs met as well as their teams members needs met.
The answer is clarity over who they are as a leader, which goes deep beyond just expertise.
A visionboard helps to sort things out and gain clarity over your individual needs – as a leader and as an existential part of a thriving organization.
Defining a new “normal” for leadership
you personally might come from a professional career, where the elder was automatically seen as the wiser. This might have also disturbed you as an aspiring leader. You might have had innovative ideas, that were pushed aside with the simple conclusion “we have always done it this way…”
Well, times are changing. We are facing a world that demands leaders to think differently. Multifaceted approaches and complex questions ask for creative solutions. There is no creativity in the zone of adjustment and trying to fit in.
Old ways don't open new doors.
Empowered employees do.
Imagine you have a team of aspiring young leaders working for you, who are capable and brave to come up with new ideas, turn the tables and outperform competitors due to engaged teams. People eager to work for your company moving the needle in the direction you are setting your sails.
In an empowering environment everyone is using their strength to create the greatest progress for the team, the customer and the organization.
How does a visionboard empower peak performance?
Visualization is a modern technique taken from competitive sports into management and entrepreneurship.
It is the mind of the athlete that decides whether the athlete wins or loses a match. Not (only) the athlete’s physical abilities. When the mind is set on
success, the individual is capable to outplay any competition – even competition said to be more performative.
Through visualization the athlete becomes aware of potential success. There is a saying in modern competitive sports:
Performance - potential - disturbance
Meaning there is always more potential than disturbance in your team and one’s task is to eliminate the disturbance, in order to get better performance.
A Visionboard is a perfect way for your Team & aspiring leaders to focus their Energy in the direction where they intend to go. On the success they want to achieve as a young leader.
In the Visionboard Seminar “Lead with a Vision” the participants gain insights & clarity into their Vision and evaluate the role they want to take on as a leader.
What separates successful people from unsuccessful Leaders is a Vision.
A person determined for their Vision takes chances, sees them and creates them as well
Whereas a person who might have vague goals is subject to outer influences and adjusts to its environment, blaming others for their failures.
The visionboard invites the participants to take responsibility for themselves and evolve as good leaders.
Inspiring, motivating and leading by example - personally and professionally.
