Visionary leaders lead from the future. They are not interested in small, incremental results. They are interested in breaking away from their competition to insure their long-term sustainability by being number one in their markets.
Visionary leadership is not about power. It is about contribution to the whole. They intentionally strive to bring forth Breakaway Innovations® that continually challenge their organization and their competition. They constantly work in service of their people and their customers in that order. Visionary leaders understand that an empowered workforce is extremely important to winning new customers, keeping existing customers and employees.
Leading from vision means creating, with others, a vision that brings forth the best the team has to offer and the ability to hold up that vision in front of the organization until it is realized. The ERM Process helps visionary leaders develop the competency to:
- Build and sustain relationship and trust with the organization
- Facilitate the creation of a compelling vision for the organization
- Build alignment and commitment to the vision through the enrollment process
- Coach the mood of the organization in a proactive manner
- Develop the capacity of the organization to bring forth the vision
- Develop an organizational mindset that is willing and able to create Breakthroughs
- Inspire the organization to innovate
- Create Breakaway Innovations®
The ERM Process serves to empower visionary leadership at all levels of the organization by developing profound interconnections between all members of the organization. This allows the leadership inherent in everyone to be fully self-expressed in a way that allows creative and innovative solutions to be developed.
Visionary leaders appreciate the world is in constant flux and need to lead an organization that can adapt to change. For more information on this topic, read our article on “Key Steps for Leading Change Initiatives.”
