Leadership Visions

January 9, 2009 by Miki Saxon  

Although he may not realize it, web developer Tim Knight speaks for the vast majority of the global workforce in a post entitled Stop Leading Your Team to The Destination, Give Them The Map.

He eloquently explains why leaders who proclaim their visions and then hoard the details have far less chance of success as opposed to those that are introduced, explained, clarified and then embedded in the corporate culture.

Today’s workforce is damn smart and leadagers forget that at their own peril.

One caveat. “Profit” isn’t a valid vision, especially when building it into a culture creates an overarching need to achieve it that transcends sensible, moral, ethical and even legal bounds as so recently happened.
