Leadership Tip

How to create a new leadership vision

Now is the time to clarify and refine your leadership vision. This requires both articulating your values and re-examining your goals for the future.

  1. Start by identifying the four or five most important episodes in your life - moments that defined who you are today. For each episode, articulate how it shaped your values.
     
  2. Then draft a statement of your personal leadership vision. This is a compelling image of an achievable future. Describe the kind of leader you want to become and the major contributions you want to make to the world between now and 2030. What will you be doing in the 2020s, and what impact do you hope to be making?
