VISION: THE BLUEPRINT FOR BUILDING A BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE

Leaders and vision go together like fire and heat; you can't separate them without destroying their essence. A vision...

  1. Should be written down,
  2. Should be shared amongst the people,
  3. Should be acted on,
  4. Is for a particular event in the future,
  5. Should motivates us toward the goal,
  6. Should not be discarded,
  7. Will not fail.

N/B: "The difference between leaders and followers is perspective! When leaders are willing to confront difficult issues, they win the respect of others!"

LISTEN... LISTEN... LISTEN...

Leaders must first and foremost be listeners. When they listen, they gain something more precious than the privilege to speak:


a) They gain insight about people, 
b) They connect with the speaker
c) They earn their right to speak
d) They become relevant 
e) They understand the keys to the speakers' heart
f) They identify
g) They gain authority
h) They learn


PS: When you speak, nothing you say will teach you anything. Only when you listen, will you gain understanding!
