One of the leadership mistakes I’ve made in the past is to have a great vision … but do one of these things:
* keep it in my head
* communicate it just to a few people
* communicate it just once
* not align the culture, processes/systems, hiring/developing people, etc. with the vision or vice versa
Mark Firth’s LinkedIn post highlights the importance of vision to an individual … and it applies also to any organization: https://lnkd.in/e8w_-JKF
Just don’t keep it to yourself 🙂
And if company political circumstances create a hostile environment for your overall vision, try making interim vision/milestone steps visible while working to gain allies to offset the danger. If the danger is too great for even that, then the questions are:
- Are you in the right role?
- The right company?
