Our previous POVs have focused on purpose, making an impact, tapping subject expertise, creating engaging experiences, and the importance of embodying core values in the workplace. While Smak works with many types of organizations to do these things, there is another element that boosts the results from excellent to extraordinary…a visionary leader.
Visionary leaders have a unique ability to see beyond the present, inspiring innovation and guiding their organizations towards a promising future. And they do by blending purpose, impact, expertise, experience, and values to create a compelling roadmap that motivates their teams and transforms their corporate culture. Visionary leaders aren’t just in the C-Suite, they can be found at every level of an organization. They don't just set annual business goals. They set a shared vision for their teams that paint a picture of its future, sparking passion and commitment. In other words, they don’t just act, they inspire.
But don’t think that visionary leaders are simply really good planners and talkers, they’re also really good doers. Think. Say. Do. The “Do” comes in recognizing the importance of playing an active role in bringing their visions to life; in understanding the importance of balancing long-term goals with short-term realities; and knowing that the business world isn’t static and success comes with being agile and determined. But just as importantly, it comes with understanding the impact of rolling up their sleeves and being part of the team that actually makes their aspirations a reality.
So if you want to be a visionary leader and take your organization to new heights, remember that it’s not just about forecasting the future, it’s about setting the path to forge it. Think. Say. Do.
