As leaders, we have to lead first by vision. If we can\u2019t create a compelling picture of the future, something that\u2019s really desirable, it will be very hard to motivate our team to change or to take on big tasks to fulfill our purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I wrote The Vision-Driven Leader<\/em><\/a>, to help leaders develop a clear, compelling vision of their own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having a vision is vital, but that\u2019s really just the beginning of vision-driven leadership. You must also be able to communicate that vision in a way that enlists others to help achieve it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In over 40 years of business leadership, including a stint as CEO of what was then the largest Christian publishing company in the world, I\u2019ve learned what it takes to communicate vision in a way that makes others eager to follow. It comes down to these four steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make It Inspiring<\/span><\/h3>\n

The very first step is you have to make your vision inspiring. Everybody wants to be part of something that\u2019s larger than themselves. No one\u2019s individual life is really big enough to satisfy the desire we all have for significance. The chance to make a difference, that\u2019s what motivates people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, they\u2019ll get excited about a raise or a bonus, but not for long. Your vision cannot be about personal success or achievement. It has to inspire others to get beyond themselves and change the world for the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the change you want to make in the world? How will the lives of others be made better if your vision can be fulfilled? Show people that transformation, and they\u2019ll jump on board with your vision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t
