Leadership - Vision

Leadership has a very wide spectrum of meanings. It differs from perspectives of different human beings who have been through different experiences in different vocations. For myself, I seem to have the privilege of developing this leadership character in me through unconcious effort. It was a time, about 5 years ago that I decided, my life was never to be the same again. It was a time I began to live conciously for the future. It was the actual time I had a vision of the future. I must say that this word, "vision" is indeed a very powerful word in leadership. I have begun to realise how important it is used in leading a set group of followers who may come from all walks of life. It is said that a vision, if allowed to flourish and imagined in the minds of the followers of an outstanding leader, he has the whole world in his hands. I have seen how an introduction of the vision if put across by the leader to his followers and seen through by the leader through thick and thin, can bring success in all forms possible. Imagine a leader envisioning a future where cars would be affordable to average American family when others condemn the possibility of it ever happening. Henry Ford brought on the challenge and today you see each American family owning the all American "Ford" car. A vision can do wonders not only for a leader's followers but also for yourself. Set a vision and dream for yourself and work through thick and thin following through with that promise you made for yourself. The vision you set for yourself will inspire others without you even knowing it. Your vision of the future holds a power that will move your world. I believe it did cause it did for me.
