Now that you have some idea of what it takes to be a real leader, we can break it down and examine each of the points in turn. Perhaps the most important thing from the outset is inspiration. If you inspire your team, they will give you their thoughts most, and the team and the organization will be successful. If your team believes in your vision, they will work harder. He will become their vision. They will work longer hours and be very committed to the goals that you set.
If you have a vision for your team, you help to inspire others. This means your customers and your potential business partners as well. More people will want to work with you. More people will want to buy from You are use your services and to think of themselves as a part of what you do. It goes deeper to vision helps you also not only to survive, but to thrive and grow in the future. The correct vision allows you to foresee what's going to happen ahead, the problems that may arise and how to meet them.
Your vision is your major goal. If you get it right, everything tends to follow on. people accept your vision, and run with it. Many of the points we talked about during this course, relates back to this idea of vision. Perhaps the best way to look at what I mean by this is to examine a concept called the Golden Circle introduced by Simon Sinek It explains why some organizations or teams fail and some succeed. The Golden Circle is made of three rings, which can be seen as layers.
On the outermost ring, you have the word wat inside that the word how unknown the animals bring is the word why. So, as a leader, you need to think about these three things. what, how, and why. For the sake of simplicity, we will start by focusing on this question from a business perspective. But the principle applies to any organization. It means we can change these questions into what do you do?
How do you do it? Why do you do it? The key aspect is why why you do something is the most important thing you can ask yourself in any organization. And what might surprise you is that many people can't answer this question. They seem a little bit surprised or confused. Well, we're here to make money to provide a service to make money and why doesn't come into it.
This is where the organization mission statement comes in. Often your own vision is derived from this mission statement and applies to your team. And your goals. If you notice, is most successful companies that have a very good and comprehensive mission statement. They have a belief, a belief in what they do, and a belief in their goals. Here are some examples Facebook's mission To give people the power to share, make the world a more open and connected place.
Googles mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Microsoft's mission is to enable people and businesses throughout the world to realize their full potential. The mission statement is important. It's something that your clients and your leaders and your team can believe in. It's a long term journey, a set of goals. employees that believe in your mission statement or your own vision will work late hours because they want to see it through because they believe in it to.
When you believe in and are excited by your own vision and goals, your team will become interested motivated and excited. At the same time, you can have vision in your personal and family life to a vision is a little like a goal, except that it's got more imagination and more feeling to it. You might work towards making your family a little wealthier. For your vision will be to see your family in a bigger house with all the comforts and everything they ever need in complete safety. This is your vision. This is important because if you have a vision, instead of a simple, hard goal, then you can be more flexible in how you go about getting the results that you want, that you desire.
It actually keeps you much more motivated, which comes down to the very structure of your brain and how it works.
