Thought and Visionary Leadership
Visionary leaders are the builders of a new dawn, working with imagination, insight, and boldness. They present a challenge that calls forth the best in people and brings them together around a shared sense of purpose. They work with the power of intentionality and alignment with a higher purpose. Their eyes are on the horizon, not just on the near at hand. They are social innovators and change agents, seeing the big picture and thinking strategically.
(The Center for Visionary Leadership)
A simple restatement could be...
Constantly looking for, and often finding, a better way of doing things that make sense for the business.
I've been fortunate that my career has been marked by roles that by description forced a visionary perspective, especially early on. The acquired learning from those experiences shaped my leadership and creative nature.
