Painting a Picture of the Future.
April 10th, 2008That’s the “vision thing.”
Japan’s Prime Minister Obuchi stated, “When Japan overcomes its current economic difficulties, it will emerge a more vibrant and flexible society. We will be in an even stronger position to support the values that we share so deeply with the United States–freedom, democracy and respect for human rights.”
Peter Drucker put it like this. “What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that’s another matter.”
What leaders have to do today is lead people through change. It’s as simple as 1-2-3. Acknowledge, explain why, and paint a picture of the future. Leaders must create and speak compelling stories about their business.
