Leaders Make It Possible For Their Followers To Realize Their Dreams
| All effective leaders have the ability, either naturally or through having learned the skill, of clearly stating their vision in a way that makes it possible for their followers to not only follow them but to be willing to "hitch their own wagon to the leader's star!" The leader's vision becomes the follower's own! The fulfillment of a personal vision becomes aligned with the person leading!
If a leader wants to realize their dream, they must insure that their followers realize their dreams and a leader's success must be measured by the success of those who report to them. I am convinced that leaders with integrity make it possible for their followers to realize their dreams. Careless leaders might well steal their followers' dreams.
Therefore, leaders have a solemn responsibility to those they lead. They must:- Select a management team that has the skill to execute and fulfill the vision
- Maintain an organization free of distraction and dysfunction
- Provide on-going unambiguous communication of the vision and the strategies required to succeed
- Define tangible and quantitative directives for their followers
- Reward performance appropriately!
The Leader's responsibility for those who follow them has far-reaching implications for success in virtually every environment -- but especially so in the harsh climate of business competition. |
