If your leadership ended today, would the future be brighter because you were there? One of my goals throughout my corporate career was simple. Leave every organization—and every person—better than I found them. Leadership was never meant to create dependence. It was meant to create capability. This week we've talked about vision: believing before seeing, setting direction, communicating it consistently, and helping others discover their potential. But perhaps the greatest responsibility of a leader is helping people develop a vision for their own future. When people understand where the organization is headed, they contribute. When they discover a vision for their own lives, they become committed. As Helen Keller wisely observed: "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision." As Vision Week comes to a close, I'll leave you with one question: If your leadership ended today, would the future be brighter because you were there? #Leadership #Vision #LeadershipDevelopment
