    • Careers

“To the person who does not know where they want to go there is no favorable wind.” -Seneca

“Leaders Provide Vision” is the first core principle of leadership. To be clear, a Vision is more than a pithy vision statement .

A Vision:


Gives a strong sense of purpose to unite teams in making clear decisions
Has enough information to provide clarity on what you want to achieve
In combining those two, provides the ability to inspire forward motion.

Without this clarity, teams and organizations have no “favorable winds” and struggle to make meaningful progress.

Are you working with a Vision that meets the three criteria above? If not, what can you do today to start changing that?
