Leadership Series - Week 1: The Vision

Leadership Is Not A Position Or A Title, It Is Action And Example



Welcome and thank you for returning to the Straight Up Mindset Blog. This is the August edition of the blog. This month's series is the Leadership Series and this week's topic is The Vision.

Being a leader is a very big responsibility. You are the one that everyone looks to for guidance. They entrust you to lead them on the right path. In order to do this you have to have an unwavering conviction towards your vision. You must know the direction you want your team to go. It's very important to be very sure and certain in what you are doing and where you are taking them. The journey and process can be complex and seem very uncertain at times.

The people you are leading will easily deviate from the place or the path because they will get distracted by the many variables that comes with uncharted territories. This is where your leadership helps bring them back  to regroup. Help them remember the overall plan and stay the course. A leader must also be very logical and help get everyone on the same page with the bigger picture. When people start to feel uncomfortable or unable to see the vision, you will be challenged. If you are not able to be logical and justify the ultimate goal, it can cause the team to lose confidence in you.

Lastly, the leader must be the most passionate in the entire group in whatever project is being worked. Your energy must cascade to every member, you set the tone for how the project is going to go. If your energy is low then everyone else's energy will be lower than that. Remember you are the lighthouse that guides the ships safely through the seas. If your light dims or goes out then everyone is guaranteed to crash.
